I called Franke, and they said chips were not manufacturing faults and it would not be covered under warranty.

I am mystified as to how a chip should have happened since I wash in the plastic bowl.

I cannot think of anything that could have caused the chip apart from a knife, but I still can't see how/when.

I still would have expected since we all wash knives in our sinks that the material should be strong enough to withstand a knock from a knife.

I do feel that knowing what I now know I would have chosen the stainless steel over a product that really is not fit for purpose.
