6. Manutenzione e cura

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Franke Ellipse granite sink.

• Pulizia giornaliera: Wipe the sink with a dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup. For general cleaning, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Sanitized Protection: The built-in Sanitized protective barrier actively fights bacteria, reducing their growth by up to 99%. This feature works continuously, supporting your regular cleaning routine.
• Rimozione delle macchie: Per le macchie ostinate, utilizzare un detergente non abrasivo specificamente progettato per i lavelli in granito composito. Evitare prodotti chimici aggressivi, spugne abrasive o lana d'acciaio, poiché possono danneggiare la superficie.
• Resistenza al calore: While granite composite is highly heat resistant, it is recommended to use a trivet or hot pad for extremely hot pots and pans to prevent potential thermal shock or discoloration over time.
• Evitare l'impatto: Non far cadere oggetti pesanti o appuntiti nel lavandino, poiché potrebbero scheggiarsi o creparsi.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your kitchen sink.

• Drenaggio lento: Check for blockages in the drain assembly or P-trap. Ensure the drain stopper is not obstructed.
• Macchie d'acqua/accumuli minerali: This is common in areas with hard water. Regularly wipe the sink dry after use. For existing buildup, use a solution of white vinegar and water, let it sit briefly, then rinse and wipe dry.
• Surface Discoloration/Stains: Refer to the maintenance section for appropriate cleaning agents for granite composite sinks. Ensure you are not using abrasive cleaners or pads.
• Perdite: Inspect all plumbing connections under the sink. Tighten any loose connections. If the leak persists, a plumber may be required.
