Use & Maintenance
FRAGRANITE SINKS
Never use caustic soda to unclog the drains.
Do not leave ammonia or caustic soda sitting in the basins.
Consult the sink manufacturer's Use and Maintenance material before use.
INTEGRATED HPL SINKS
Boiling oil, used for frying, reaches high temperatures that can damage HPL by causing
bubbles. Do not pour boiling cooking oil down the drain as this is not only bad for the
environment but could also irreparably damage the bottom of the sink.
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AND TAPS
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
Follow the specific instructions for each electrical appliance provided in the instructions
from each manufacturing company. Do not use abrasive creams that could dull and
scratch the surfaces and avoid prolonged contact with products that contain solvents
when cleaning the external finishing of electrical appliances For stainless steel parts,
absolutely do not use detergents that contain chlorine or its compounds.
HOODS
Stosa always advises the use of extractor hoods (which vent cooking vapours outside the
kitchen). Here are the points that should always be considered. Always read and keep the
operating and maintenance manual for the hood. All regulations concerning air venting
and/or room safety when using gas or combustible-fuel appliances must be complied with.
Always turn on the hood every time you cook something. This is because smoke and steam
can damage the kitchen in the long run, and excessive burner heat can shorten the life of the
hood itself. Wash (when allowed) or replace the hood filters periodically. The carbon filters
should be replaced regularly and according to usage. Failure to replace the filters can lead
to suction problems resulting in steam accumulation and damage to the cabinet. Precisely
follow the hood instructions. Check that the aspiration tubes (in the case of extractor hoods)
are the right size and are correctly fitted, and ensure that they are not partially clogged.
Bear in mind that the performance of the hood decreases exponentially based on the length
of the aspiration tubes and the curves of the tubes themselves, as well as in relation to the
presence of any grilles. In the case of steel hoods, the product must be cleaned in the same
direction as the material's satin finish.
