6.1 Pulizia giornaliera

- Per una pulizia generale, utilizzare un detersivo per piatti delicato e una spugna o un panno morbidi.
6.2 Deep Cleaning and Stain Removal
- For stubborn stains, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Always follow the product instructions and rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the satin finish.
- Do not leave acidic foods (e.g., lemon juice, vinegar) or harsh chemicals on the sink surface for extended periods.
6.3 InFino Strainer Care
Regularly remove and clean the InFino basket strainers to prevent blockages and maintain hygiene. Wash with warm soapy water and a brush if necessary.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
Ecco alcuni problemi comuni e le loro possibili soluzioni:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Drenaggio lento | Food debris or grease buildup in the InFino strainer or waste pipe. | Remove and clean the InFino basket strainer. Use a drain cleaner suitable for stainless steel if the blockage is further down the pipe. |
| Water spots/streaks | Depositi di acqua dura. | Wipe the sink dry after each use. For existing spots, use a solution of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio), then rinse and dry. |
| Piccoli graffi | Normal wear and tear, or contact with abrasive materials. | Stainless steel is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Over time, a patina will develop. For minor scratches, specialized stainless steel scratch removal kits may be used, following product instructions carefully. |
| Leaking around sink rim | Sigillatura non corretta durante l'installazione. | Re-seal the sink rim with a suitable silicone sealant. Professional assistance may be required. |
