Product Information
Full details
The Franke Antea AZN 611-80 is a versatile 1-bowl stainless steel sink designed for homeowners seeking flexibility in their kitchen layout. Its key benefit is the reversible drainer, allowing placement on either the left or right side to suit your workflow. A minor consideration is that while a waste disposal is included, separate plumbing kits may be required for full installation.

FAQs
Is the waste disposal unit noisy?
Noise levels can vary based on the model of the waste disposal unit and the type of waste being processed. Generally, modern units are designed for reasonable operating noise.
What size cabinet is required for this sink?
While specific cabinet requirements depend on the overall kitchen design, this sink is designed for standard base cabinets. Consult the product's technical specifications or a kitchen fitter for precise measurements.
Can I install this sink myself?
Installation involves cutting worktops and connecting plumbing. If you are not experienced with these tasks, it is recommended to hire a professional installer to ensure proper fit and function.
What is the warranty period for this sink?
Warranty information is typically provided by the manufacturer or retailer. Please refer to the product documentation or contact the point of purchase for specific warranty details.
Does it come with a tap?
This product description focuses on the sink and waste disposal unit. Taps are usually sold separately. Please check the product listing or packaging for details.
How do I clean the stainless steel surface effectively?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. For tougher stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be effective. Always rinse and dry afterwards to prevent water marks.
Troubleshooting
Sink is not draining properly
Check the waste trap and drain pipe for any blockages. Ensure the waste disposal unit is functioning correctly and that all plumbing connections are secure and correctly installed.
Water spots or stains appearing on the surface
Rinse the sink thoroughly after each use and dry with a soft cloth. Use a non-abrasive cleaner or a baking soda paste for stubborn spots, followed by rinsing and drying.

The drainer is reversible and must be decided upon during the initial installation phase. If a change is required, the sink may need to be re-fitted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Connect the included waste disposal unit and any necessary plumbing. Note that additional plumbing kits might be required depending on your existing setup, and these must be purchased separately.
Compatibility: This sink is compatible with all standard work surfaces, including laminate, wood, stone, and solid surface countertops. Ensure the cabinet beneath the countertop is adequately sized for the sink's dimensions.
