8. Cleaning and maintenance

The motor is permanently lubricated for life. Do not

attempt to lubricate your Disposer!  

The disposer is self cleaning and scours itself with

each use.

Your disposer, except for the Batch Feed model, is

equipped with a removable splash guard for ease of

cleaning or replacement. Remove splash guard by pulling it

out from the top. To replace, simply insert into sink flange

and push down until properly seated.

NEVER pour bleach or chemical drain cleaners into the

disposer, as they cause serious corrosion of metal parts.

If used, resulting damage can be easily detected and all

warranties are void.

Mineral deposits from your water can form on the

stainless steel turntable of your disposer, giving the

appearance of rust. DO NOT BE ALARMED, the stainless

steel turntables used on models indicated in section 10

will not corrode.

9. Electrical information

Replacing the fuse in moulded plugs:

The correct fuse cover must be refitted when changing the

fuse. Remove the fuse cover and slide the fuse out.

Replace it with a 13 Amp ASTA fuse (approved to BS 1362).

Should the fuse cover be lost or damaged, an exact

replacement should be used. Never use the plug without

the fuse cover fitted.  

IMPORTANT:

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a

qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
