6. Operating Instructions

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

normal operation.

Continuous Feed Models:

A. Remove sink stopper. Turn on cold water using a medium flow.

B. Turn switch to ON position; your motor is turning at full speed and ready to use.

C. Scrape in food waste. Down the drain go table scraps, peelings, cobs, rinds, seeds, pits, bones and coffee grounds.

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 disposer off, let water and disposer run for approximately 25 seconds after shredding stops.

This assures that all waste is thoroughly flushed through trap and drain.

E.

It is not recommended to use hot water while running disposer. Cold water will keep food waste and fats solid so

disposer can flush away particles.

A. Remove sink stopper and turn on a medium flow of cold water (see 6A).

B. Scrape in food waste. Down the drain go table scraps, vegetable peelings, cobs, rinds, pits, bones and coffee 

grounds (see 6B).

C. Insert stopper to start disposer. One of the two small slots in stopper base must line up with switch plunger 

inside the neck of the disposer (see 6C).  Push down firmly. Lift stopper to shut disposer off.

D. Run disposer and water for 25 seconds after shredding stops. This assures that all waste is

thoroughly flushed through trap and drain.

E.

To fill sink, insert stopper so that largest slot lines up with switch plunger (see 6D). Stopper can now be 

pushed down to seal sink without actuating disposer. When medium sized slot (see 6C) in stopper 

base is lined up with the switch plunger, water can drain, but tableware, etc., cannot be accidentally

dropped into disposer.
