Scrape in food waste. Down the drain go table
scraps, peelings, rinds, seeds, pits, small 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.

Before turning disposer off, let water and disposer
run for approximately 15 seconds after shredding
stops. This assures that all waste is thoroughly
flushed through trap and drain.

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