Bediening en gebruik
The Ruvati workstation sink features a patented dual-tier ledge system, allowing for versatile use of its included accessories. The innovative slope-bottom design ensures efficient drainage.

Included Accessories and Their Use:
- Reversible Cutting Board/Tray: This solid hardwood cutting board can be used on both the upper and lower tiers. One side is flat for general cutting, and the other has raised edges to contain liquids.
- Wood Platform with Mixing Bowl and Colander: This versatile platform fits on both tiers. The stainless steel mixing bowl and colander attachments can be inserted into the platform, ideal for washing produce or preparing ingredients.
- 3-Bowl Condiment Tray: Designed to slide on the upper tier, this tray is perfect for serving condiments, preparing small ingredients, or holding utensils.
- Foldable Drying Rack: Made of stainless steel bars and a flexible silicone frame, this rack can be unrolled over the sink for air-drying dishes, fruits, or vegetables. It can be easily rolled up for storage.
- Bottom Rinse Grid: Place this stainless steel grid at the bottom of the sink to protect the surface from scratches and impacts, while allowing water to drain freely.

Verzorging en onderhoud
Proper care will preserve the beauty and functionality of your Ruvati stainless steel sink for years to come.
Dagelijkse schoonmaak:
- Spoel de gootsteen na elk gebruik grondig af met warm water om eventuele voedselresten te verwijderen.
- Wipe the sink dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots and mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas.
- Gebruik voor de algemene reiniging een mild afwasmiddel en een zachte spons of doek.
Deep Cleaning and Stain Removal:
- For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or a paste made of baking soda and water. Apply with a soft cloth and rub in the direction of the grain.
- Grondig afspoelen en drogen.
- Avoid using steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemical cleaners (e.g., bleach, drain cleaners containing chlorides) as they can damage the finish and cause corrosion.
Onderhoud van accessoires:
- Wood Cutting Board/Platform: Hand wash with mild soap and water. Do not soak or put in a dishwasher. Periodically apply food-grade mineral oil to maintain the wood's condition and prevent drying/cracking.
