Understanding Bottom Grid Fit and Water Flow
A sink bottom grid acts much like a raised boardwalk over a natural terrain, elevating your heavy cookware above the delicate floor of the basin. By keeping pots and pans resting on durable stainless steel wire rather than directly against the sink surface, it prevents everyday friction and scuffs. The 27-5/8 inch by 15-9/16 inch dimensions of this model ensure it sits securely inside the matching DSQ2816 basin, while the rear center cutout guarantees that water and small food debris glide effortlessly toward the round drain without pooling around the edges.

Remove the grid periodically to wipe down the underside of the sink basin and remove any trapped food particles.
Wash the grid with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge to maintain its shine.
