FAQs

What type of worktop is best for an undermount sink?

Undermount sinks are best suited for solid, non-porous worktop materials like granite, quartz, solid surface (e.g., Corian), or hardwood. These materials provide the necessary support and are resistant to water damage around the sink edge.

Does the sink come with a tap?

No, this sink does not include a tap. Taps are sold separately, allowing you to choose one that matches your kitchen's style and functional needs.

How do I clean the brushed stainless steel finish?

Clean with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap. For tougher spots, a paste of baking soda and water can be used. Always rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots and maintain the finish.

What is the warranty on this Smeg sink?

The Smeg UM4545 sink comes with a manufacturer's warranty of up to 25 years.

Can I install this sink myself?

While the sink includes a waste kit and fixing clips, undermount installations require precise cutting of the worktop and proper sealing. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure a watertight and secure fit.

What is the capacity of each bowl?

Each bowl has a capacity of approximately 32.4 liters.

What are the exact dimensions of the bowls?

Each bowl measures approximately 450 mm in width and 400 mm in length, with a depth of 180 mm.

Troubleshooting

Sink is not draining properly.

Ensure the waste trap is correctly installed and not blocked. Check the overflow outlet for blockages.

Water is leaking around the rim.

The sealant may have failed. The worktop may need to be removed to reapply silicone sealant and re-secure the sink.

Surface scratches are visible.

Minor scratches are normal with stainless steel. For deeper scratches, professional polishing may be required. Regular cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner can help minimize their appearance.

Sink appears dull or discolored.

Clean with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For stubborn discoloration, use a stainless steel cleaner specifically designed for brushed finishes. Always rinse and dry thoroughly.
