OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Push the START button on the control panel to begin operation. Before you start
feeding food waste into the disposer, make sure that a steady stream of water
is flowing into the unit. Do not start feeding food waste into the disposer until the
unit is started and the water is running.
1
Push the STOP button on the control panel to stop
operation. To prevent accidents, make sure the
disposer is shut off before you leave it unattended.
3
Feed food waste into the disposer in a steady contin-
uous flow. Don’t overload the disposer with excess
amounts of food waste and water. The disposer will
consume food waste faster when you feed it steadily.
Always keep your hands away from a disposer when it is operating.
Don’t stop the disposer with food waste in it. Let it run for approxi-
mately 3 minutes to clear itself of all ground waste. This will help to
maintain a clean and odor-free unit and to avoid drain line clogs.

or cleaners in the disposer.
