HOW TO USE A FOOD WASTE DISPOSER
When used correctly your InSinkErator Food Waste Disposer requires little to no maintenance and is very simple to use.
• Remove disposer plug if it contains one
• Turn on the cold water to a moderate flow.
Cold water solidifies the fats that may
accompany food scraps so that it can be
broken down just as the food particles are
and flushed through the plumbing. Never use
warm water
• Turn the disposer on and feed the food scraps
through the opening into the disposer. You will
know when it has finished grinding when all
you can hear is the hum of the motor and the
water running
• Turn the disposer off and allow the water
to continue running for approx 10 seconds
to flush the ground food scraps through the
kitchen plumbing and into the sewerage
system
• If the water is allowed to run after food is
finished grinding you should not experience
odours coming from the disposer, however if
you do, we suggest grinding a handful of ice
without the water running. For a clean fragrant
smell add a few wedges of lemon. Be sure
never to use cleaning solvents or chemicals
of any nature and never pour grease, oil or fat
down the disposer or any drain.
The Evolution Series also grinds onion skins,
prawn and fish heads, coffee grounds, meat and
dairy and much more.
One food item that should never be put down
a food waste disposer is oyster shells. Oyster
shells are silicon based and while the disposer
will grind the shells the fine particles can settle in
plumbing and re-solidify.
