Continuous Feed Models

A.

Remove the sink stopper and turn on 

a medium flow of cold water.

B.

Turn the switch to 

ON

.

C.

Scrape in food waste. To speed up food

waste disposal, cut or break up large

bones, rinds and cobs. Large bones and

fibrous husks require considerable

grinding time and are more easily

thrown away with other trash. Do not be

alarmed that the disposer slows down

while grinding. The disposer is actually

increasing torque (grinding power) and

is operating under normal conditions.

D.

Before turning the disposer off, 

let the water and the disposer run 

for approximately 25 seconds after

shredding stops. This assures that all

waste is thoroughly flushed through 

the trap and drain.

E.

Do not use hot water while running 

the disposer. Cold water will keep 

food waste and fats solid so they can 

be flushed down the drain.

This disposer uses anti-jam swivel impellers that make 
a clicking sound as they swing into place. This indicates
normal operation.

Batch Feed Models

A.

Remove the sink stopper and turn on 

a medium flow of cold water.

B.

Scrape in food waste.

C.

Insert the stopper to start the disposer.

One of the two small slots in the stopper

base must line up with the switch

plunger inside the neck of the disposer. 

NOTE:

The oval shaped handle aligns with the 

2 small slots in the stopper.

Push down firmly to start.

D.

Run the disposer for 25 seconds after

shredding stops. This assures that all

waste is thoroughly flushed through 

the trap and drain.

Lift the stopper to shut the disposer off.

E.

To fill the sink, insert the stopper so that

the largest slot lines up with the switch

plunger. The stopper can now be

pushed down to seal the sink without

starting the  disposer. When the

medium-sized slot in the stopper base is

lined up with the switch plunger, water

can drain, but tableware, etc., cannot be

accidentally dropped into the disposer.
