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.
