This manual covers safe installation, day-to-day operation, cleaning and troubleshooting for the Borrelli Single Bowl Sink. Please read it before operating the unit.
Safety
Please follow these precautions when installing, using and cleaning the sink.
- Have all water supply and waste connections carried out by a licensed plumber, in line with local plumbing regulations.
- The sink is heavy — use enough people or equipment to lift and position it. Do not lift it by the drainer, taps or bowl edges.
- Do not sit, stand on, or place heavy loads on the sink top, drainer or undershelf.
- Do not pour fats, oils or grease down the waste — they solidify and block the drain.
- Keep the floor around the sink dry to reduce the risk of slips.
- Take care with knives or sharp utensils left in the bowl or hidden under soapy water.
No chlorine cleaners Do not use chlorine bleach or chloride-based cleaners on stainless steel — they cause pitting and corrosion. If any is spilt, rinse it off immediately with clean water.
Installation
Before use
- Remove all packaging and peel off the protective film from the stainless surfaces.
- Wash the sink and drainer with warm, soapy water before first use.
Positioning
- Stand the sink on a firm, level floor able to take its weight when the bowls are full.
- Screw the adjustable feet in or out until the sink is level and stable — check with a spirit level.
- Leave access behind the sink for the waste and trap.
Plumbing
- Connect the 40 mm waste outlet to the building drainage through a water trap, using approved fittings and seals.
- Fit the standpipe plug and the removable scrap trap into the corner drain.
- If a tap is fitted, connect the hot and cold supply; taps and plumbing must be installed by a licensed plumber.
- Where the splashback meets a wall, seal the join with food-safe silicone.
Check for leaks Run water and check every joint for leaks before putting the sink into service.
Care and Cleaning
Everyday cleaning
- Rinse the sink and drainer with clean water after use to remove detergent and food residues.
- Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent, working in the direction of the steel grain.
- Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and mineral (tea) staining.
Weekly or deeper clean
- For stubborn marks, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner or a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water.
- Always rub along the grain, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
Surface rust or tea staining
- Brown specks are usually iron particles from other cookware, not the sink itself.
- Remove them with a stainless cleaner or bicarb paste, then rinse and dry.
Never use abrasives Never use steel wool, wire brushes or abrasive pads, and avoid bleach or chloride cleaners — these scratch the surface or cause rust and pitting.
Everyday Use
The sink is designed for continuous commercial use. A little routine care keeps the stainless steel looking new.
Daily routine
- Empty and rinse the removable scrap trap at the end of each service.
- Rinse the bowls and drainer with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not leave standing water, salt or acidic foods on the surface overnight.
Protecting the finish
- Do not leave cast-iron or carbon-steel items sitting in the bowl – they transfer iron that rusts.
- Keeping the steel clean and dry maintains its passive layer and corrosion resistance.
- In coastal or humid areas, clean more often to prevent tea staining – surface discolouration rather than a fault in the steel.
Routine checks
- Clear the standpipe and flush the drain to keep water flowing freely.
- Check the adjustable feet and re-level the sink if the floor settles.
- Inspect the waste, trap and any tap connections for leaks; tighten or reseal as needed.
Tips and Tricks
Follow these tips to get the best performance, efficiency and lifespan from the sink.
Placement
- Stand the sink on a firm, level floor.
- Leave access behind the sink for the waste and trap.
Protecting the finish
- Rub only along the grain of the steel.
- Rinse off any spilt bleach or chloride cleaner immediately.
Tea staining is surface discolouration, not a fault in the steel. Clean more often in coastal or humid areas.

Before Requesting Service
Please check the following if you encounter a problem. If it continues after these checks, contact Borrelli.
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| Slow or blocked drain | Is the removable scrap trap full? Has fat or grease been poured down the waste? Clear the trap and flush the standpipe. |
| Sink rocks or is not level | Screw the adjustable feet in or out and re-check with a spirit level. Has the floor settled? |
| Brown specks or tea staining | Usually iron transferred from other cookware, not the sink. Clean with a stainless steel cleaner or bicarbonate paste, along the grain, then rinse and dry. |
| Leak at the waste or trap | Are the seals seated and the fittings tight? Reseal or tighten. Persistent leaks need a licensed plumber. |
