• Reverzibilni dizajn: Decide whether to install the sink with the smooth, flat apron front or the decorative fluted apron front facing outwards before installation.
• Sklop odvoda: The standard 3.5-inch drain opening will fit most garbage disposal units. Due to the 1-inch thick fireclay bottom, an extended flange may be required for your disposal.

Održavanje i njega

Proper care will ensure your Ruvati fireclay sink maintains its pristine appearance and durability for years.

• Redovno čišćenje: Wipe the sink with a dry cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup. For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water.
• Uklanjanje mrlja: For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic or fireclay surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the enamel finish.
• Izbjegnite udar: While highly durable, extreme impact from heavy or sharp objects can potentially chip the enamel. Exercise caution when handling heavy cookware.
• Otpornost na toplinu: The sink is resistant to high temperatures, but it is always advisable to avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the surface for extended periods.
• Hemijska otpornost: The enamel surface is resistant to acids and common household chemicals. However, prolonged exposure to strong chemicals should be avoided. Rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
• Bottom Grid Care: Clean the stainless steel bottom grid regularly to prevent food buildup and maintain hygiene.

Rješavanje problema

Most issues with your Ruvati sink can be resolved with simple checks. If you encounter persistent problems, please refer to the following:

• Spora drenaža: Check the basket strainer for accumulated food debris. If using a garbage disposal, ensure it is clear of obstructions.
• Mrlje od vode/nakupljanje minerala: These are common in hard water areas. Regular wiping after use and occasional cleaning with a mild descaling solution (vinegar and water) can prevent this.
• Manje ogrebotine/oštećenja: Fireclay is highly scratch-resistant. If you notice superficial marks, they might be metal transfer from pots and pans. These can often be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner or a specialized ceramic cleaner.
• curenja: If you detect a leak, immediately check all plumbing connections under the sink. Tighten any loose fittings. If the leak persists, professional plumbing assistance may be required.
