Helpful Hints
A. Be sure the disposer is empty before
using the dishwasher so it can drain
properly.
B. 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.
C. The disposer is ruggedly built to give you
years and years of trouble-free service. It
will handle all normal food wastes–BUT
it will not grind and dispose such items as
tin cans, bottles and bottle caps, glass,
china, leather, cloth, crockery, rubber,
string, feathers, or clam or oyster shells.
These are waste materials and belong in
the trash can or trash compactor.
D. TO SPEED UP FOOD WASTE
DISPOSAL... Cut or break up large
bones, melon rinds, grapefruit skins and
corn cobs. Items such as large bones,
fibrous husks like lima bean pods and
corn husks require considerable cutting
time. For this reason, you may prefer to
place them in the trash can or trash
compactor.
Operating instructions.
Care and maintenance.
THE MOTOR IS PERMANENTLY LUBRICATED FOR LIFE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
LUBRICATE YOUR DISPOSER. The disposer is self cleaning and scours itself with
each use.
■ ■ NEVER put lye or chemical cleaners into
the disposer, as they cause serious
corrosion of metal parts.
■ ■ Your disposer, except for the Batch Feed
model, is equipped with a removable
splash guard for ease of cleaning or
replacement. Remove the splash guard
by pulling it out from the top. To replace,
insert into the sink flange and push down
until it is properly seated.
■ ■ If an odor develops, run orange or lemon
rinds through the disposer. A dozen ice
cubes sprinkled with a little household
scouring powder will also work.
