Your Jam Breaker Wrench will free virtually every jam that may occur due to foreign
objects entering the disposer. Occasionally, a piece of metal (bobby pin, thumb
tack, paper clip, silverware, etc.) causes a jammed condition too tight for your
Wrench to handle. To free this type of jam, a pry bar or tool must be used. Do not
hammer on pry bar.
Operation With Dishwasher
If your dishwasher drains through your disposer always run the disposer for a short
time before starting the dishwasher. This will insure that the disposer is free of any
unground food waste. Such waste could cause a "backup' of the discharge water
from the dishwasher. DO NOT OPERATE THE DISPOSER WHILE THE DISH-
WASHER IS IN OPERATION. After operating the dishwasher, run the disposer for
a short time to clean and flush all particles discharged by the dishwasher into the
disposer down the main drain line.
When the dishwasher is in operation, we recommend the cover be placed in the
DRAIN/GRIND position. This will eliminate the possibility of water splash out.
