***To ensure all food waste is removed from the extractor, you can use Styrofoam plates
as a cleaning agent for the unit. The Styrofoam will force out the majority of food waste
leaving only Styrofoam. Run the plates as you would any waste, and continue until
nothing but Styrofoam exits the extractor. We do not recommend using cardboard as it
will dry out and create a very hard obstruction in the extractor which could cause motor
overload on restart.***
