Installatie-instructies
This basket strainer is designed for standard kitchen sinks with a 3-1/2 inch drain opening. Professional installation is recommended. Ensure all local plumbing codes are followed.
- Maak de gootsteenopening klaar: Zorg ervoor dat de afvoeropening van de gootsteen schoon en vrij van vuil is.
- Breng loodgieterskit aan: Roll a thin rope of plumber's putty and apply it around the underside of the strainer flange.
- Insert Strainer: Place the strainer assembly into the sink drain opening from above, pressing firmly to create a seal with the putty.
- Veilig van onderaf: From underneath the sink, attach the rubber washer, friction washer, and locknut onto the strainer body.
- Verbindingen vastdraaien: Hand-tighten the locknut, then use a wrench to tighten it further, ensuring a secure and watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
- Loodgieterswerk aansluiten: Attach the tailpiece and P-trap assembly to the bottom of the strainer body according to standard plumbing practices.
- Test op lekken: Fill the sink with water and check for any leaks around the strainer and plumbing connections.
Note: Specific installation steps may vary slightly depending on your sink type and existing plumbing. Consult a qualified plumber if you are unsure about any step.
Gebruiksaanwijzing
The Franke 900 Colorline Basket Strainer serves two primary functions:
- Filtering Debris: The basket component is designed to catch food particles and other debris, preventing them from entering and clogging your drain.
- Sealing the Drain: When the basket is pressed down firmly into the strainer body, it creates a seal, allowing you to fill the sink with water. To drain the sink, simply lift the basket.
Regularly empty the basket to maintain optimal drainage and prevent odors.
Verzorging en onderhoud
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Franke 900 Colorline Basket Strainer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Dagelijkse schoonmaak: Remove the basket and rinse it under running water to clear any trapped food particles. Wipe the strainer body with a soft cloth.
- Grondige reiniging: For more thorough cleaning, use a mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Vlekbestendigheid: The Colorline finish is designed to be stain-resistant. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for kitchen fixtures can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
- Temperatuurbestendigheid: The material is designed to withstand high temperatures. However, avoid prolonged exposure to extremely hot items directly on the strainer surface.
Regular cleaning will prevent mineral buildup and maintain the product's aesthetic appeal.
