TROUBLESHOOTING
Before seeking repair or replacement, we recommend that you review the following:
LOUD NOISES:
(Other than those during grinding of
small bones and fruit pits): These are usually caused by
accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign
object. To correct this, turn off electrical switch and water.
After disposer has stopped, remove *splash guard, remove
object with long handled tongs, and replace *splash guard.
UNIT DOES NOT START:
either the wall switch or breaker box switch to "OFF"
position, depending on your model and wiring configuration.
Remove stopper and/or *splash guard. Check to see if
turntable will rotate freely using a wooden broom handle. If
turntable rotates freely, replace *splash guard and check re-
set button to see if it has been tripped. Re-set button is red
and located opposite discharge elbow, near the bottom (see
8A). Push button in until it clicks and remains depressed.
If re-set button has not been tripped, check for shorted or
broken wire connecting to disposer. Check electrical power
switch, fuse box or circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical
components are intact, the unit may have internal problems
that require service or replacement.
*Splash guard not used on Top Control/Batch Feed unit.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The motor is permanently lubricated. The disposer is self
cleaning and scours its internal parts with each use.
NEVER put lye or chemical drain cleaners into the disposer,
as they cause serious corrosion of metal parts. If used,
resulting damage can be easily detected an all warranties
are void.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE YOUR DISPOSER!
IF TURNTABLE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELY:
Turn off disposer, then check for any foreign object lodged
between the turntable and grind ring. Dislodge object by
rotating table with a wooden broom handle and remove
object. (see 8B) If no foreign object is present, there may
be internal problems.
LEAKS:
If the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:
1. Improper seating of sink flange (gasket centering, putty
or tightening).
2. Support ring not tightened properly.
3. Defective or improperly installed cushion mount.
If unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due to im-
proper tightening of elbow flange screws.
8A
Mineral deposits from your water can form on the stainless
steel turntable, giving the appearance of rust. DO NOT BE
ALARMED, the stainless steel turntables used will not
corrode.
