Operating Instructions
Your ONEX sink is designed for efficient and quiet operation. The deep bowl and specialized drainage features ensure optimal performance.
Efficient Drainage:
The sink features an X-slat design and a slight immersion at the bottom, along with four drainage grooves, to facilitate rapid water drainage and prevent water buildup. This design ensures that water flows directly to the drain, keeping the sink surface drier.

Maintenance and Care
To maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your ONEX stainless steel sink, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the sink daily with a soft cloth or sponge and mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grain.
- Prevent Rust: Avoid leaving iron or steel objects in the sink for extended periods, as they can cause rust spots.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your sink.
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Slow Drainage: Ensure the strainer basket is clear of debris. Check the P-trap for blockages. The sink's X-slat design and grooves are intended to prevent slow drainage, so persistent issues may indicate a plumbing blockage.
- Water Spots: Stainless steel can show water spots, especially in hard water areas. To prevent this, wipe the sink dry after each use. For existing spots, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry.
- Scratches: While durable, stainless steel can scratch. Minor scratches can be buffed out with a fine-grit abrasive pad, always rubbing in the direction of the grain. Deep scratches may require professional attention.
- Dull Finish: If the sink appears dull, clean it thoroughly and then apply a stainless steel polish to restore its luster.
