Frequently Asked Questions - KP32 CDA

How do I cut the tap hole for the sink?

Make a pilot hole using a small drill bit, then cut with a 35mm hole saw. CDA recommends using a tungsten carbide drill bit and hole saw to avoid damaging the sink.

What is the correct way to install the sink in the worktop?

Apply silicone sealant along the sink's perimeter, place it in the cutout, and secure using the supplied clips and screws from the centre outward in a crisscross order. Do not use power tools.

Which cleaning products should I avoid using on my sink?

Avoid abrasive liquids, powders, steel pads, neat bleach, and harsh chemicals like paint stripper, solvents, and insecticides. These can damage the surface.

Can I use a plastic washing-up bowl in the sink?

No, CDA advises against plastic bowls because grit can become embedded and scratch the sink surface. Use wire sink-baskets and drainer-racks instead.

How do I remove limescale deposits from the sink?

Use a mild limescale remover. In hard-water areas, limescale can stain from coloured foods, so prompt removal is recommended.

What is the warranty period for the CDA KP32 sink?

The sink is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for 5 years, subject to proper installation and domestic use.

Does the warranty cover installation faults?

No, the warranty does not cover installation faults. The sink must be installed by a suitably qualified person according to instructions and current legislation.

What should I do if acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar spill on the sink?

Rinse immediately with plenty of water and wipe with a soft dry cloth to prevent damage.

Can I place hot pans directly on the sink?

No, avoid placing very hot objects directly on the sink. Use a board made from wood or heat-proof plastic.

How can I remove organic stains like coffee or red wine from the sink?

Soak the sink with a solution of biological washing powder for effective removal of stubborn organic stains.

USER MANUAL KP32 CDA

Taking Care of your Sink

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:

• 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. CDA specifically recommend the use of wire sink-baskets and drainer-racks to help protect your sink. Take care to not cut the plastic coating on these accessories with sharp cutlery or the edges of pans, etc.
• 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 the brass/brass finish type.
• Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects into the sink as they may scratch or damage the 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 abrasive liquids, powders or steel pads to clean the sink as they will damage the sink surface and make it more susceptible to staining.
• Do not place very hot objects directly on the sink, place them on a special surface (board) made from wood or heat-proof plastic, etc.
• In hard-water areas, a limescale deposit may build up on the sink. The limescale may become stained by coloured foods such as coffee or red wine. If this occurs, we recommend use of a mild limescale remover.
  • Particularly stubborn organic stains can be removed effectively by soaking the sink in a biological washing-powder solution.
• If the sink comes into contact with acidic materials e.g. lemon juice or vinegar, 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.
  • During installation, protect 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.

Installation

Making the tap hole

• Locate the tap hole perforations on the underside of the sink.
• Place the sink in the correct position.
  • Make a pilot hole using a small diameter drill bit
  • Cut the tap hole using a ∅35mm hole saw

Please note: CDA recommend the use of a tungsten carbide drill bit and hole saw to avoid chips or damage to the sink

To cut out the worktop

• Place the sink upside-down on the worktop where it will be mounted.
  • Draw the perimeter of the sink on the worktop with a pencil.
• Remove the sink and draw a dotted line, 12mm inside the perimeter.
  • Make the cut out with suitable tools along the dotted line.

Installing the sink in the worktop

• Apply silicone sealant along the perimeter of the sink where it will be in contact with the worktop.
• Locate the sink in the cutout and make sure it is centered, then secure in place using the supplied clips and screws from the centre of the sink outwards in crisscross order. Do not use power tools to secure the sink clips as these can damage the sink and installation faults are not covered by the warranty.
