Limitation of Liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MANUFACTURER OR ITS AUTHORIZED SERVICE
REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER RESULTING FROM NONPERFORMANCE, USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
INSINKERATOR PRODUCT OR THE MANUFACTURER’S OR ITS AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE’S NEGLIGENCE.
MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY DELAY IN PERFORMANCE AND IN NO EVENT,
REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, INFRINGEMENT,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER SORT OR OTHERWISE), SHALL MANUFACTURER’S LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED
THE PRICE PAID BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR THE INSINKERATOR PRODUCT.
The term “consequential damages” shall include, but not be limited to, loss of anticipated profits, business interruption, loss of use or
revenue, cost of capital or loss or damage to property or equipment.

For ideal performance adjust the tank temperature to
the setting two steps down (approx 205°F, 96°C) from the

If the new filter cartridge cannot be inserted, insert
the old one and turn until it stops, remove it and then
retry the new cartridge.
The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced
every 6 months, at the rated capacity or sooner if a
noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
