OPERATING THE DISPOSER

1. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the
disposer grind chamber. Do not pre-load the
disposer with food waste prior to starting.
2. Push the start button on the control switch. The
disposer will run and water will flow into the disposer.
3. Feed food waste into the disposer in a steady,
continuous flow.
4. When all food waste is flushed away, push the stop
button on the control switch.
NOTE: The Manual Reversing Switch uses three-
button operation (FWD/STOP/REV) to manually change
disposer grind direction. The disposer will rotate in the
direction of the button pushed. DO NOT restart disposer
until the rotating shredder has come to a stop.

GRINDING TIPS

• Ensure that a steady stream of cold water runs into
the disposer while it is operating (see Table 2 on
page 9 for the recommended cold water flow).
• Do not overload the disposer or turn it off with food
waste inside the grind chamber. Run the disposer and
water for three minutes after the final load to flush
away all food waste.
NOTICE
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Do not pre-load food waste into disposer before
turning on. Pre-loading disposer with food waste
can cause excessive strain and may loosen
disposer mounting components, resulting in
disposer separating from sink or trough.
