Understanding Sink Grid Elevation
Think of the Kraus bottom grid like a sturdy scaffold for your cookware. Just as elevated scaffolding protects workers and improves site organization during construction, lifting your pots and pans off the floor of the sink allows water and food particles to flow freely underneath. Without this separation, heavy dishes can create a vacuum seal over the drain and trap debris against the floor. By keeping everything elevated on soft silicone feet, the grid ensures uninterrupted drainage while acting as a dedicated armor shield for your sink surface.
Installation Guide
Measure your sink basin interior at the bottom to ensure the 15 inch by 12.75 inch dimensions match your model.
Place the stainless steel grid gently into the bottom of the sink with the protective silicone bumpers facing down.
Rinse the grid daily after heavy meal preparation to prevent food residue from drying on the wires.
Lift the grid out during weekly deep cleaning to wipe down both the accessory and the sink floor beneath it.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Flush the grid with warm water after washing dishes to remove soap scum and food particles.
Mild Soap Clean the T-304 stainless steel surface using a soft sponge and mild dishwashing liquid.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or chlorine bleach which can dull the polished finish.
Buffer Inspection Periodically check the protective silicone bumpers to ensure they remain securely in place.
Dry Storage Wipe down the grid with a microfiber cloth occasionally to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
