INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
PERSONAL INJURY/PROPERTY DAMAGE
If the electrical installer is not experienced in
electrical installation, we recommend seeking
competent professional assistance. Disposer or
accessory damage due to improper installation is
not covered under warranty. All installations must
comply with local electrical codes.
PERSONAL INJURY
• Food waste disposers are designed to grind
and dispose of normal food waste. Inserting
materials or items other than food waste into
the disposer could cause personal injury and/or
disposer damage.
• To reduce the risk of injury from materials that may
be expelled from the disposer grind chamber,
ensure that the disposer baffle is properly installed.
• To prevent the ejection of food waste and to keep
foreign materials out of the grind chamber, replace
the splash baffle when it becomes worn.
• Do not put any of the following items into the
disposer: clam or oyster shells, drain cleaner, glass,
china, plastic wrap, large bones, metal objects,
explosive materials, extremely hot water, grease,
oil, or syrup.
• Turn the power off before attempting to clear a jam,
remove an object, or press the reset button.
• Do not insert your fingers into the disposer. Use
long-handled tongs or pliers to remove objects
from the disposer.
• Loosen any jams with the dejamming bar.
• Be certain that all persons who will operate the
disposer read the safety and operating instructions
prior to operating the disposer.
• To prevent accidents, ensure that the disposer is
turned off before you leave the area.

To minimize the possibility of fire, do not store
flammable items near the disposer. Do not use
or store gasoline or other flammable liquids near
the disposer.
