Engineering Fit and Protection for Your Sink Basin
Think of this stainless steel grid as a protective suspension bridge for your kitchen sink. Just like a bridge keeps traffic safely elevated above terrain, this accessory lifts heavy cookware, ceramic plates, and mixing bowls above the basin floor. The integrated protective bumpers and feet act like shock absorbers, distributing weight evenly while preventing metal-on-surface friction. This thoughtful design ensures that water can still drain smoothly toward the rear center opening even when the grid is fully loaded with dishes.
Installation Guide
Unpack the stainless steel grid and inspect the protective rubber feet and bumpers to ensure they are securely in place.
Lower the grid gently into the basin of your BLANCO VALEA Super Single sink, aligning the rear center cutout with the drain opening.
Lift the grid out periodically during routine kitchen cleaning to wipe down the underlying sink surface.
Hand wash the grid using mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to maintain its finish.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the grid thoroughly after washing dishes to remove food particles, soap residue, and grease buildup.
Routine Washing Clean the stainless steel wires weekly with mild dish soap, warm water, and a non-abrasive sponge.
Preventing Stains Avoid leaving metal cans or cast iron cookware sitting directly on the grid for extended periods when wet.
Periodic Drying Towel dry the accessory after cleaning to prevent water spots and keep the metal shining.
Foot Inspection Check the protective rubber bumpers and feet regularly to ensure they remain clean and firmly attached.
