Operation

TESTING AND OPERATION
- Remove sink stopper. Turn on a medium flow of cold water.
- Turn switch to ON position; your motor is turning at full speed
and ready to use .
- Slowly insert food waste into disposer (table scraps, peelings,
rinds, seeds, pits, small bones and coffee grounds) . To speed
up food waste disposal, cut or break up large bones, rinds
and cobs. Large bones and fibrous waste require considerable
grinding time and are more easily thrown away with other
trash . Do not be alarmed that the disposer slows down while
grinding . The disposer is actually increasing torque (grinding
power) and is operating under normal conditions .
- Before turning disposer off, let water and disposer run for
approximately 15 seconds after shredding or grinding stops .
This assures that all waste is throroughly flushed through trap
and drain .
- It is not recommended to use hot water while running disposer .
Cold water will keep waste and fats solid so disposer can flush
away particles .
NOTE:
The anti-jam swivel impellers make a clicking sound as they initially swing
into place. This indicates normal operation.

Care and Maintenance

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE YOUR DISPOSER!
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 and all
warranties are void . 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 .

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
- Be sure disposer is empty before using your dishwasher so
it may drain properly .
- You may want to leave the stopper in the drain when not in
use to prevent utensils and foreign objects from falling into
the disposer .
- Your disposer is ruggedly built to give you many years of
trouble free service . It will handle all normal food wastes,
but it will NOT grind or dispose of such items as plastic, tin
cans, bottle caps, glass, china, leather, cloth, rubber, string,
clam and oyster shells, aluminum foil or feathers .
