Maintenance Tips

• Rinse & Dry Daily: Wipe after use to prevent water spots and keep the Radiant Pearl stainless finish clean and streak-free.
• Use Mild Cleaners Only: Clean with dish soap or stainless steel cleaners; avoid bleach, ammonia, and harsh abrasives that can damage the surface.
• Avoid Scratching: Always use a sink grid and non-abrasive sponges—no steel wool or rough pads.
• Maintain DrainAssure & VersiDrain: Keep the drain system clear of food debris to ensure fast water flow and prevent buildup.
• Clean Rounded Corners Regularly: Wipe curved edges where residue can collect to maintain hygienic, easy-drain performance.
• Prevent Standing Water: The sloped base is designed for quick drainage—avoid leaving stagnant water or soap residue.
• Remove Hard Water Spots: Use diluted vinegar occasionally, then rinse thoroughly and dry to restore shine.
