Key Features
Protective stainless steel wire grid Shields the base of your sink from daily wear and tear while providing a sturdy platform for cookware.
Custom-fit for 18-inch Sotto 18R sinks Perfectly contoured to match the exact dimensions of model 1361 undermount kitchen sinks for a snug, secure fit.
Free-flowing drainage design Elevates plates and bowls so water and food particles can easily sweep toward the rear center drain without obstruction.
Impact-absorbing wire spacing Engineered flex helps cushion dropped dishware to protect both your favorite kitchen items and your sink basin.
Removable rubber feet Prevents scratching and scuff marks on your sink while pulling away easily when it is time for routine cleaning.
Engineering Impact Resistance in Your Kitchen Sink
When you drop a heavy ceramic plate into an empty basin, the rigid impact force often results in a chip or a crack. This stainless steel sink grid acts like a trampoline for your tableware. The secret lies in the engineered spacing and gauge of the stainless steel wires, which are calibrated to flex just enough under sudden pressure to absorb kinetic energy. Instead of a hard collision between your dish and the sink floor, the grid takes the brunt of the force, protecting both your fragile dinnerware and your sink surface from damage.
Installation Guide
Unpack the stainless steel wire grid and inspect the four removable rubber feet to ensure they are securely seated on the corners.
Place the grid directly into the bottom of your compatible 18-inch Sotto 18R undermount kitchen sink, ensuring it rests flat against the basin floor.
Lift the grid out of the sink at least once a week to wash away any food particles or soap residue trapped underneath.
Pop off the rubber feet periodically to clean beneath them and prevent mineral buildup or debris accumulation.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinse Rinse the stainless steel grid thoroughly with clean water after each heavy dishwashing session to remove food particles.
Routine Washing Wash the wire frame using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge to maintain its shine.
Rubber Foot Care Slip off the removable rubber feet during your weekly cleaning to scrub away any trapped grease or moisture.
Stain Removal Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water to tackle stubborn spots.
Dry Thoroughly Wipe the grid down with a clean microfiber towel after washing to prevent water spots and keep the metal gleaming.
