Frequently Asked Questions - KC12WH CDA

How do I install my CDA KC12WH kitchen sink?

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional. Use the included template to mark the cut-out on the worktop, cut with a jigsaw, apply sealant around the rim, and secure the sink with the provided fixing clamps.

What is the recommended cleaning method for the KC12WH sink?

Clean with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads that can scratch the ceramic surface.

Can I use bleach or harsh chemicals on the sink?

No, harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners can damage the ceramic finish. Use only pH-neutral cleaners.

What is the weight capacity of the KC12WH sink?

The sink itself can safely hold typical dishware and pots. Do not stand or place excessive weight (over 50 kg) on the bowl.

Does the sink come with a drain assembly?

How do I remove stains from the white ceramic sink?

For tough stains, apply a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for 15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly.

Can I install an garbage disposal unit with this sink?

What is the minimum cabinet size required for this sink?

The base cabinet must be at least 1000 mm wide and 600 mm deep to accommodate the sink and plumbing.

Is the KC12WH sink resistant to chipping?

Ceramic fireclay is highly durable but can chip if struck by heavy objects. Avoid dropping heavy pots or tools into the sink.

How do I adjust the faucet mounting holes on this sink?

Taking care of your sink

During installation, protect the sink from scratches, scuffs and other damage.

Do not overtighten or strain plumbing fittings.

The moulding and edges of the sink must be absolutely level so water flows off the drainer.

Your CDA ceramic sink features the natural characteristics of fireclay ceramics. The dimensions may vary from the specification due to the manufacturing process, as each sink is made by hand.

Due to the nature of the manufacturing process and the materials from which it is made, small blemishes will be evident on the surface of the ceramic finish. These blemishes are under the glaze; they are inherent properties and are in no way detrimental to the performance of the sink – they are consistent with the traditional appeal of hand-made fireclay sinks.

Your CDA sink is manufactured using material developed specifically to withstand the rigours of everyday kitchen use. However, we advise you to follow these precautions to keep the sink in pristine condition:

• Avoid dropping heavy, sharp or metallic objects into the sink as they may scratch or damage the surface.

• Do not use abrasive liquids, powders or steel pads to clean the sink as they will damage the sink surface and make it more susceptible to staining. The sink may be cleaned with a dilute bleach solution.

• Do not use a plastic washing-up bowl in the sink as grit and other particles may become embedded in the bowl and scratch or erode the sink surface.

• The surface of the sink can be affected by certain chemicals e.g. neat bleach, nail polish remover, paint stripper, solvents, brush cleaner and insecticides. If any of these substances come into contact with the sink, wipe off immediately with a dry cloth, wash with mild detergent and rinse with water.
• Do not use neat bleach or other harsh cleaning agents on the metal sink waste as this may cause tarnishing. This is especially important if the waste is of a brass type or brass finish.
• Do not place very hot objects directly on the sink, place them on a special surface (board) made from wood or plastic, etc.
• Particularly stubborn organic stains can be removed effectively by soaking the sink in a biological washing-powder solution, dishwasher powder solution or a dilute bleach solution.
• If the sink comes into contact with acidic materials, rinse immediately with plenty of water and wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not leave rusty objects in contact with the sink. Rust can cause staining, cracking or even permanent damage to the sink surface.
• To avoid staining of the surface, do not leave food or other materials with corrosive properties such as juices, salt, vinegar, mustard etc. on the sink for a long time.
• After using the sink, rinse it clean with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water before wiping dry.
