OPERATION
Before operating disposer make sure it is clear of foreign objects such as metal or wire clippings, screws,
nails, etc., which may have dropped into it during installation. Check the ywheel for free rotation.
Never use your hand to check rotation of ywheel or to remove foreign matter
from the disposer. Use a stick or similar object to turn the ywheel. Foreign matter can be removed
with tongs or pliers.
Start the disposer before feeding food waste. Be sure water is owing. With typical optional controls,
water ow and unit starting are simultaneous and automatic. Feed food waste into disposer. DO NOT
feed china, metal, rags, clam shells, or similar material into the unit. DO NOT put grease or oil in the
disposer. Oil or grease can clog the drain. Always allow the disposer to run for a short period after
grinding is complete to assure proper ushing of the disposer and waste line. This ushing is automatically
controlled with certain optional controls.
CONTROLS
Never reach inside this disposer while it is operating.
The operation of the disposer and additional available controls will depend on the selection of control
devices. Refer to control group data sheet..
CLEANING
The food waste disposer should be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. Allow the disposer to run a
few minutes after disposing of all food waste to completely ush out the interior. If food waste is allowed
to accumulate due to improper clean-up, it will give off offensive odors. If this happens, cleaning can
be accomplished by using a stiff brush with a strong soap and hot water solution. Light cleaning can be
accomplished by grinding ice and a lemon through the disposer.
Do not use chemical solvents or other drain cleaning compounds through the disposer.
