Understanding the Benefits of an Elevated Sink Grid
An elevated sink grid acts much like a raised scaffolding system for your kitchenware, keeping pots, pans, and plates lifted just an inch above the actual floor of the basin. Think of it like a floor mat in a high-traffic entryway; it absorbs the direct impact of heavy traffic and debris so the underlying surface remains untouched. By keeping dishware elevated, water, food scraps, and soap suds can easily flow underneath your items and travel straight toward the center round drain without getting trapped underneath blocked dish surfaces.
Installation Guide
Unpack the stainless steel bottom grid and inspect it to ensure it matches the dimensions of your kitchen sink basin.
Lower the grid gently into the bottom of your compatible DSU3118 sink, centering it over the drain opening.
Check that the grid rests flat and stable on the basin floor without wobbling.
Remove the grid periodically to wipe down both the accessory and the sink basin during routine kitchen cleaning.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the stainless steel grid thoroughly with warm water after each use to remove food particles and soap residue.
Routine Washing Clean the surface weekly using a mild dish soap and a soft sponge to maintain its shine.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or chlorine bleach, as these can damage the metal finish.
Prevent Rust Spots Do not leave iron or cast-iron cookware resting on the grid for extended periods while wet.
Dry Thoroughly Wipe the grid down with a soft microfiber towel occasionally to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
