When using electric appliances, basic precautions are always to be followed, including:
•Read all instructions before using the disposer.
•To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is required when an appliance is used near children.
•Do not put fingers or hands into a waste disposer.
•Turn the power switch to the off position before attempting to clear a jam or remove an object from the disposer.
•When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposer, use the Jami-nator Button (model 1000) or the self-service
wrenchette as described below.
•When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposer, use long-handled tongs or pliers.
•To reduce the risk of injury by materials that are expellable by a waste disposer, do not put the following into a
disposer:
a) Clam or oyster shells
b) Caustic drain cleaners or similar products
c) Glass, china, or plastic
d) Large (whole) bones
e) Metal (such as bottle caps, tin cans, or utensils)
f) Hot grease or other hot liquids.
•When not operating the disposer, leave the drain cover in place to reduce the risk of objects falling into the disposer.
•This product is designed to dispose of normal household food waste; inserting materials other than food waste into
disposer is not recommended. To reduce the risk of injury, do not use the sink containing the disposer for purposes
other than food preparation (such as baby bathing or washing hair).
•Do not dispose of the following in the disposer: paints, solvents, household cleaners and chemicals, automotive fluids,
or gasoline.
•Replace anti-splash baffle when worn to help prevent entry or ejection of material and splashing water.
•Before pressing reset button, attempting to clear jam, or removing objects from inside disposer, make sure disposer
power switch is turned off.
•F F I I R R E E H H A A Z Z A A R R D D : Do not store flammable items such as rags, paper, or aerosol cans near disposer.

Continuous feed disposers have a one-piece cover/stopper that acts only as a
seal. A wall switch is used to turn the disposer on or off. To SEAL the cover for holding
water in the sink, press the cover firmly in the disposer opening. C C A A U U T T I I O O N N : Do not
operate the disposer with the cover in the SEAL position.
To Operate Disposer:
1. Remove the cover from sink opening and turn on a good flow of COLD water. (Cold
water hardens greasy substances, making it easy to grind them into tiny particles.
Unlike hot water, cold water keeps grease from sticking to the drain lines.) It is important and absolutely necessary
that cold water flows into the disposer while it is in operation. N N E E V V E E R R U U S S E E H H O O T T W W A A T T E E R R . If you have a double sink,
make sure the faucet points to the side where the disposer is installed.
2. Turn the wall switch to "ON" position.
3. Scrape food waste into disposer opening. The splash guard will reduce splashing. Mix soft and hard food waste items
for most efficient grinding.
4. Allow both the disposer and cold water to run for about 30 seconds after grinding action is completed. This will
assure that any bone slivers or other hard objects that could cause jams are flushed from the grind chamber. This will
also assure proper flushing of the external drain line.
5. Turn the wall switch to "OFF" position.
WHAT CAN BE PUT IN YOUR DISPOSER
Your disposer is designed to dispose of food wastes including bones, fruit and vegetable wastes, pits, egg shells, and
coffee grounds. Large pieces of food waste like melon rinds should be cut into smaller pieces before being put into the
disposer.

DO...
•First turn on a moderate to strong flow of C C O O L L D D W W A A T T E E R R
and then turn on the disposer. Continue running cold
water for 15 seconds after grinding is completed to flush
the drain line.
•Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and
ice. A scouring action is created by the particles inside
the grind chamber.
•Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain
smells.
•Grind extremely fibrous materials like corn husks,
artichokes, etc.
•Use a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodorizer as
necessary to relieve objectionable odors caused by
grease buildup.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DON'T...
•Don't pour grease or fat down your disposer or any drain. It can
build up in pipes and cause drain blockages. Put grease in a jar or
can and dispose in the trash.
•Don't use H H O O T T W W A A T T E E R R when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain
hot water into the disposer between grinding periods.
•Don't fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead,
turn the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels in
gradually.
•Don't turn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of
motor and water is heard.
•Don't be alarmed if a brown discoloration appears on the face of the
grind wheel. This is normal. It is surface discoloration only and will
not affect the life or performance of the disposer.
