5. Operasyon

The Swanstone QU02522SB.170 sink is designed for daily kitchen use. Its durable granite construction is resistant to common kitchen wear and tear.

• Ensure the drain strainer is properly seated to prevent food particles from entering the plumbing system and causing clogs.
• The granite material is highly resistant to heat; hot pots and boiling water will not harm the sink surface.
• While the sink is virtually indestructible, avoid dropping extremely heavy or sharp objects directly into the basin, as this could potentially cause surface marks.

6. Bakım ve Özen

Proper care will maintain the appearance and performance of your Swanstone granite sink.

• Günlük Temizlik: Wipe the sink with a dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas.
• Düzenli Temizlik: For general cleaning, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry the surface.
• Leke Çıkarma: For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for granite or quartz sinks can be used. Always test any new cleaner in an inconspicuous area first.
• Kaçınmak: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, or drain cleaners directly on the sink surface. These can damage the sink's finish and integrity.
• The granite material is naturally heat and stain resistant, simplifying daily care.

7. Sorun Giderme

Aşağıda sık karşılaşılan sorunlar ve çözümleri yer almaktadır:

• Yavaş Boşalma: Check the drain strainer for accumulated food debris. If the issue persists after cleaning the strainer, the plumbing trap may require cleaning or professional attention.
• Su Lekeleri/Mineral Birikimi: These can occur in hard water areas. Regular wiping with a dry cloth after use helps prevent them. For existing buildup, a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) can be applied, allowed to sit briefly, then gently scrubbed and thoroughly rinsed.
• Surface Marks: While highly resistant, extreme force or very sharp objects can cause surface marks. Minor marks may sometimes be minimized with specialized granite polish, but prevention through careful use is recommended.
• Leaking Around Drain/Faucet: This typically indicates an issue with the plumbing connections. Ensure all nuts are tightened securely and that plumber's putty or sealant was properly applied during installation. If leaks persist, consult a plumber.
