Frequently Asked Questions - VZ40N SMEG

How to install the Smeg VZ40N sink?

Installation must be carried out by a professional in accordance with current standards. Silicone is not supplied. Before mounting, clean the sink with a mild detergent and a soft sponge to remove production residues.

What cleaning products to use for the sink?

Use a soft non-abrasive sponge and ordinary dish detergent. Avoid products based on ammonia, caustic soda, as well as steel wool or abrasive sponges that would scratch the surface.

How to remove stubborn stains on a light-colored sink?

Prepare a mixture of bleach and warm water (3/4 bleach, 1/4 water). Let it sit for about 8 hours (preferably overnight), then rinse thoroughly and dry. If necessary, repeat 1 to 2 times.

How to remove stubborn stains on a dark-colored sink?

Rub the stain with a soft sponge soaked in dish detergent using small circular motions. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Repeat if necessary.

How to remove limescale traces?

Use a descaling and anti-corrosion product diluted in warm water. Apply evenly, gently rub in circles, let it sit for a few minutes, rinse and dry with a microfiber cloth.

What to do if I spill boiling liquids in the sink?

Before pouring boiling water, turn on the cold water tap and ensure there is at least 1 cm of water at the bottom of the sink to avoid damaging the material.

Can I put hot pans directly on the sink?

No, never place hot pans, pots, or kettles (up to 500°C) directly on the surface. This could cause discoloration or irreversible damage.

How to avoid micro-scratches on the sink?

Do not cut directly on the surface; use a cutting board. Avoid impacts with hard objects and never use steel wool or abrasive sponges.

How often should I descale the sink?

It is recommended to perform a descaling treatment at least once a week, especially for dark-colored sinks. Fill the bowl with warm water, add two tablespoons of laundry detergent or a tablet, let it sit for 5 to 6 hours, rinse and dry.

What if the warranty is questioned?

Failure to follow cleaning and maintenance instructions may void the standard warranty. Scrupulously follow the recommendations in the manual to maintain the validity of the warranty.

1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your Smeg product is quick and simple. Even though the non-porous surface prevents liquids penetrating into the material, it is preferable to remove them immediately using a soft, non-abrasive sponge and standard dish detergent. You should then rinse the surface and dry it carefully using a microfibre cloth.

2. NON-ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Cleaning stubborn stains is not difficult: all you need to do is choose the right product and use it correctly.

For stubborn stains on LIGHT-COLOURED products, you can use a solution of bleach and warm water ( 34 to 14 ), leaving it to act for eight hours (we recommend that this cleaning be performed during the night). Afterwards, rinse thoroughly and dry the entire surface carefully using a microfibre cloth. If the stains remain, the operation can be repeated one or two more times.

For stubborn stains on DARK-COLOURED products, you can remove them directly with a soft, non-abrasive sponge and standard dish detergent, using small circular movements. When finished, rinse using warm water and carefully dry the entire surface using a microfibre cloth. If the stains remain, the operation can be repeated one or two more times.

To remove limescale stains, we recommend the use of a non-corrosive descaling product diluted with warm water. Distribute the solution uniformly over the entire surface of the product. Clean with a soft, non-abrasive sponge using small circular movements and leave the product to act for several minutes (follow the instructions and conditions for use on the product label). When finished, rinse using warm water and dry carefully using a microfibre cloth.

Failure to follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions stated in this manual may invalidate the standard warranty provided by the manufacturer.

To ensure that there is no change to the characteristics of the product, we recommend that users observe the following precautions:

- dry the surface of the product every day to avoid prolonged exposure to water that could lead to the build-up of limescale or stubborn stains

- do not use detergents that contain alkaline substances and aggressive liquids (such as ammonia, caustic soda or drain cleaners)

- do not remove traces of dirt using steel scourers or abrasive sponges that could damage the surface

- do not cut or chop directly on the surface of the product because this could cause irreparable scratches (always use chopping boards)

- avoid accidental knocks that could cause irreparable micro-damage

- do not place hot cookware, pans or coffee makers directly on the sink surface: stains from discolouration and/or damage could form in areas where hot items are placed

- avoid pouring boiling liquids directly into the sink without first turning on the cold tap and filling the sink with at least 1 cm of water, as this could damage the product

• to prevent the build-up of limescale, it is recommended that a descaling treatment be completed at least once a week. This is recommended in particular for dark-coloured sinks. Fill the tub with warm water and add two spoonfuls of liquid or powder dishwasher detergent or a dishwasher tab. Leave the solution for 5/6 hours. Rinse thoroughly and dry carefully.
