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 .
