Salvajor Commercial Disposer
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. Don’t start
feeding garbage 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 garbage into the disposer in a steady continuous
flow. Don’t overload the disposer with excess amounts
of garbage 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 garbage in it. Let it run for approximately
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.
