HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISPOSER
WARNING—To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
on page 2 before operating this appliance.
1
Remove the sink drain stopper.
This allows water to flow freely into
the disposer and down the drain.
Splash
Guard
The splash guard in the sink
opening and water flowing into the
disposer form a shield to keep
flying particles inside the unit and
permit continuous feeding of food
waste when you are operating the
disposer.
DO NOT OPERATE THE
DISPOSER UNLESS THE
SPLASH GUARD IS IN
PLACE.
2
Turn on cold water to full flow.
Cold water hardens greases so they
can be ground up and floated away
through the drain. A rapid flow of
cold water assists grinding, cleans
out the disposer, carries food waste
through the drain lines and helps
keep pipes clean.
3
Flip wall switch to ''ON.''
4
While disposer is operating
and cold water is running, feed all
food waste down the sink drain
through the splash guard.
CAUTION:
NEVER PUSH FINGERS OR
WASTE FEEDING TOOLS
BEYOND SPLASH GUARD
WITH UNIT RUNNING.
5
After the waste is gone, allow
the disposer to run for about a
half minute to flush all food
waste down the drain.
6
Flip wall switch to ''OFF.''
Wait about 30 seconds and turn
cold water off.
How to Speed Up Food
Waste Disposal
Cut up or break up large bones,
melon rinds, grapefruit skins, corn
cobs and fibrous materials such as
pineapple or vegetable stalks
before putting them into your
disposer.
Items such as large bones and
fibrous husks like lima bean pods
require considerable cutting time
in your disposer. You may prefer to
put them in the trash can or trash
compactor.
Do not put leather, cloth, string,
rubber, seafood shells, artichoke
leaves or corn husks into your
disposer. These items can cause
nuisance tripping of the motor
overload control.

Care and Cleaning
Your disposer is permanently
lubricated. No oiling is required
during the life of the unit.
Your disposer is self-cleaning
when used properly. Always use
a rapid flow of cold water and
allow the unit to run long enough
to do a thorough job of grinding
and flushing the food waste
throughout each operation.
To deodorize your disposer, should
an odor develop in the unit, run
orange or lemon rind through the
disposer. This will dispel unpleasant
odors and leave the sink with a
clean, sweet smell.
Grinding a dozen or so ice cubes
sprinkled with a generous amount
of regular household scouring
powder (not drain cleaner) also has
a cleaning, deodorizing effect.
Do not use water when grinding
ice cubes.
To keep drain lines clean, flush
out the disposer once a day as
follows:
1. Operate disposer to eliminate
any food waste in disposer.
2. Seal sink drain and run two to
three inches of water in the sink.
3. Remove sink drain stopper and
allow sink to drain naturally.
