7. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Hafele Orion 4720 sink.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, rinse the sink thoroughly with water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.
- Regular Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth. Wipe in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the satin finish.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with strong acids, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaners, which can corrode the stainless steel.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and then rinsed thoroughly.
- Rounded Corners: The rounded bowl corners facilitate easy cleaning and prevent residue accumulation.

8. Troubleshooting
- Slow Drainage: Check the strainer for food particles or debris. If using a garbage disposal, ensure it is functioning correctly. The seamless drainage coupling is designed for clog prevention, but regular clearing of debris is essential.
- Water Spots: These are common with hard water. Wipe the sink dry after each use to prevent them. For existing spots, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water, followed by a thorough rinse.
- Scratches: While the satin finish offers protection, stainless steel can still scratch. Minor scratches can often be blended with a fine abrasive pad (like Scotch-Brite) by rubbing gently in the direction of the grain. For deeper scratches, professional repair may be required.
- Rust Spots: Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, but rust spots can occur if ferrous materials (like cast iron pans or steel wool) are left in contact with the surface, or if harsh chemicals are used. Remove rust spots immediately with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
