5. 操作
The Franke Kubus 2 KNG 110-37 sink is designed for everyday kitchen use. Operate your sink by controlling water flow and temperature via your installed faucet. The grid drain type is designed to efficiently manage water drainage while preventing larger debris from entering the plumbing system.
- Ensure the drain is clear of obstructions for optimal water flow.
- Avoid pouring extremely hot liquids (e.g., boiling oil) directly into the sink without running cold water, as extreme temperature changes can potentially affect the material over time.
6. メンテナンスとケア
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Franke Fragranite sink. Fragranite is a durable material, but regular cleaning is recommended.
- 毎日の清掃: Wipe the sink with a soft cloth and warm soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
- 頑固な汚れ： For more stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner specifically designed for composite sinks. Apply with a soft sponge, rub gently, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- 避ける： Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, strong acids, alkalis, or harsh chemical drain cleaners, as these can damage the Fragranite surface.
- 耐熱性: While Fragranite is highly heat resistant, it is advisable to use a trivet or heat pad for extremely hot pots and pans to prevent potential thermal shock or discoloration over prolonged exposure.
- 傷の防止: Although durable, avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects across the sink surface to prevent scratches.
- 排水口のケア: Regularly clean the grid drain to remove food particles and debris, ensuring efficient drainage and preventing odors.
