INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL DISPOSER MODELS
WHAT CAN BE PUT IN YOUR KITCHENAID 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
To avoid possible drain blockage, do not grind extremely fibrous material like corn
husks and artichokes.
If the disposer drains into a septic tank, grinding wastes such as egg shells, lobster,
crab and shrimp shells should be kept at a minimum. Grinding large amounts of
this type of waste may require more frequent cleaning of the septic tank system.
A CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not put items like glass, china, metal, tin cans, bottle caps or oyster and
clam shells into the disposer. These items belong in the trash. Damage may
result to both disposer and drain system if this type of trash is placed in
a disposer.

OPERATION WITH DISHWASHER
