Use and Care Manual

Before seeking repair or replacement, we
recommend that you review the following:
LOUD NOISES: (Other than those during grinding of small
bones and fruit pits): These are usually caused by
accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign
object. To correct this, turn off electrical switch and water.
After disposer has stopped, remove splash guard, remove
object with long handled tongs, and replace splash guard.
UNIT DOES NOT START: Unplug power cord or turn either
the wall switch or breaker box switch to “OFF” position,
depending on your model and wiring configuration. Remove
stopper and/or splash guard. Check to see if turntable will
rotate freely using a wooden broom handle. If turntable
rotates freely, replace splash guard and check reset button
to see if it has been tripped. Reset button is red and
located on the front of the disposer. Push button in until it
clicks and remains depressed.
If reset button has not been tripped, check for shorted or
broken wire connecting to disposer. Check electrical power
switch, fuse box or circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical
components are intact, the unit may have internal problems
that require service or replacement.
IF TURNTABLE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELY: Turn off
disposer, then check for any foreign object lodged between
the turntable and grind ring. Dislodge object by rotating
table with a wooden broom handle (see A) and remove
object. If no foreign object is present, there may be internal
problems.
LEAKS: If the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:
1. Improper seating of sink flange (gasket centering,
putty or tightening).
2. Support ring not tightened properly.
3. Defective or improperly installed cushion mount.
If unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due to
improper tightening of elbow flange screws.

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
A. Be sure disposer is empty before using your dishwasher so it may drain properly.
B. You may want to leave the stopper in the sink drain when not in use to prevent utensils and foreign objects from
falling into the disposer.
C. 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.
The Anti-Jam Swivel Impellers make a clicking
sound as they initially swing into place. This
indicates normal operation.
A. Remove sink stopper. Turn on a medium flow of cold
water.
B. Turn switch to ON position; your motor is turning at full
speed and ready to use.
C. Scrape in food waste. Down the drain go 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.
D. Before turning the disposer off, let water and disposer
run for approximately 15 seconds after shredding or
grinding stops. This assures that all waste is thoroughly
flushed through trap and drain.
E. 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING 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.
