How to remove limescale stains?

Apply a non-corrosive descaling product diluted in warm water. Spread evenly, leave for a few minutes while making small circular motions with a soft non-abrasive sponge. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.

Can you pour boiling water directly into the sink?

No, it is not recommended to pour boiling liquids without first running the cold water tap and without having at least 1 cm of water at the bottom. This could damage the product.

STANDARD INSTALLATION

UNDERMOUNT INSTALLATION

The packaging materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must not be left within reach of children as they are a potential hazard.

Installation and support should be undertaken by qualified individuals, in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

The silicone is not included with the product.

The sink shown in this guide is for illustrative purposes only.

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 (3/4 to 1/4), 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.

Do not put pans or coffee makers that have just been taken off the heat (which sometimes reach 500°C) directly into the sink.

Do not place pans, frying pans, or coffee makers that have just been taken off the heat (which in some cases can reach temperatures of 500°C) directly into the sink.

The sink is not dishwasher safe.

The sink shown in this manual is for illustrative purposes only.

1. DAILY CLEANING

Smeg products are designed to be durable and simple. Despite the non-porous surface that prevents penetration of dirt into the material, it is advisable to clean it immediately, using a soft sponge and a mild detergent for dishes, then rinse the surface and dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.

2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Cleaning stubborn stains is not difficult: simply choose the right product and apply it correctly.

In case of stubborn stains on light-colored surfaces, you can use a bleach solution and hot water (3/4 water to 1/4 bleach), leaving it on the surface for about 8 hours (it is advisable to perform this procedure outdoors). After this, the entire surface must be thoroughly rinsed and dried with a microfiber cloth. If stains persist, the procedure can be repeated 1 or 2 times.

In case of stubborn stains on dark-colored surfaces, you can remove them with a soft, non-abrasive sponge and a mild dishwashing detergent, applying it with small circular motions. After cleaning, rinse with hot water and dry the entire surface thoroughly with a microfiber cloth. If stains persist, the procedure can be repeated 1 or 2 times.

For scale build-up, it is recommended to use an anti-corrosion product that prevents scale formation and helps dissolve hot water. Spread the solution over the entire surface with a soft, non-abrasive sponge using small circular motions, and leave it on the surface for a few minutes (follow the instructions and dosage indicated on the product label). Finally, rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.

Failure to follow the instructions specified in this manual may result in loss of warranty provided by the manufacturer.

PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

To preserve the characteristics of the product, we recommend following the precautions below:

• To avoid damaging the product, do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning products containing ammonia or acidic substances (e.g., ammonia, caustic soda, pipe cleaners). Do not use steel wool or abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface. Do not place the product directly on the surface, as this may cause permanent damage (use a cloth or product stand).
• Avoid sharp impacts that may cause permanent damage. Do not place hot pots, pans, or lids directly on the surface of the cooktop. This may cause cracks or permanent stains and damage the surface.
• Avoid pouring cold water directly into the sink while it is hot. First, turn on the cold water tap and fill the sink with at least 1 cm of water before adding cold water, as this may damage the sink.
• To prevent the formation of limescale, it is recommended to clean the sink regularly, at least once a week. For this, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent or a special cleaner for stainless steel sinks. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Do not place hot pans, pots, or lids directly on the surface of the cooktop (in some cases, they can reach temperatures of 500°C).

The device must be installed at least 45 cm away from any heat source. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked. Keep the device away from moisture and dust. Do not expose the device to direct sunlight. (Refer to the installation guide for detailed instructions.) The device should be used only with the supplied power adapter.
