Helpful Hints

A. Be sure the disposer is empty before using the
dishwasher so it can drain properly.
B. You may want to le ave the stopper in the drain
when not in use to prevent utensils and foreign
objects from falling into the disposer.
C. TO S PEED UP FOOD WASTE DISPOSER... Cut
or break up large bon es, melon rinds, grapefruit
skins and corn cobs. Items such as large bones,
fibrous husks like lima bean pods and corn husks
require considerable cutting time. For this reason,

you may prefer to place them in the trash can

D Grind peelings from citrus fr its to freshen up

drain smells

E Use a di poser cleaner or deodorizer as

necessary to relieve objectionable odors caused

by grease build up

F Before turning the disposer off let the water and

the disposer run for a t least 15 seconds after

shredding stops This assures that all waste is

thoroughly flushed th rough the trap and drain

DO

...

DON T

' ...

A Don t be alarmed that the disposer slows down while

grinding. The disposer is actually increasing torque
(grinding power) and is operating under normal
conditions.

B Don t pour grease or fat down your disposer or any drain

It can build up in pipes and cause drain blockages P ut

grease in a jar or can and dispose in the trash

C Don t use hot wa ter when grinding food waste It is OK to

drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods

D Don t put tin cans, bottles and bottle caps, glass, china,

leather, cloth, crockery, rubber,

string, feathers, or clam or oyster shells into your disposer

These are waste materials and belong in the trash can

E Don t fill dispose r with a lot of vegetable peels all at once

Instead turn the water and disposer on first and then feed

the peels in gradua lly

F Don t grind extremely fibrous materials like corn husks

artichokes etc

To avoid possible drain blockage

G Don t turn off disposer until grinding is completed and

only sound of motor and water is heard

C are and Maintenance

THE MOTOR IS PERMANE NTLY LUBRICATED FOR LIFE. DON T ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE YOUR

DISPOSER,

'

The disposer is self cleaning and scours itself with each use.

NE VER put lye or chemical cleaners into the disposer, as they cause serious corrosion of metal parts.

Your disposer is equipped with a removable splash gu ard for ease of cleaning or replacement. Remove
the splash guard by pulling it out from the top. To replace, insert into the sink flange and push down until
it is p roperly seated.

If an odor develops, run orange or lemon rinds through the disposer. A dozen ice cubes sprinkled with a
little household scouring powder will also work.
