Instructions Operating Instructions Safety

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.

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.
