Instruccions de funcionament

The Respekta Mineralite sink operates like any standard kitchen sink. Water flow is controlled by your installed faucet. The two bowls allow for versatile use, such as washing dishes in one and rinsing in the other, or preparing food.

• Flux d'aigua: Use your faucet handles to control the temperature and flow of water into the sink bowls.
• Drenatge: The grid drain type allows water to flow freely while catching larger debris. Periodically remove the grid to clean out any accumulated food particles.
• Desbordament: The integrated overflow opening prevents the sink from overflowing if the main drain is blocked, provided the water flow is not excessive.
