[ USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Loud noises while your disposer is operating are usually caused by dropping metal ob- jects into the disposer. To correct this, turn off the disposer switch and water. After grinding disc has stopped turning, investi- gate. Remove object by reaching into unit with tongs.

Motor stops while your disposer is opera- ting. This can be caused by overloading the unit. First, check the cause of the over- load - often some foreign material is in the

off the disposer switch and water. Remove the object as previously explained. TO RESTART THE MOTOR: wait 3 to 5 min- utes, then push in on the small red reset button located on the bottom of your disposer (Fig. 1). If motor remains inoperative, check your Service Panel and replace any blown fuses, or look for a tripped circuit breaker.

NOTE: If water does not drain as readily as you think it should, and food waste tends to float or take too long to grind, don't reduce

water flow to solve this problem. It is very likely that the drain line is partially clogged and should be cleaned with a drain auger. A blocked drain may also cause food waste to drain into the dishwasher. Like any precision machine, your disposer was built to perform a particular job. If unusual demands are plac- ed on it, service interruptions are possible.

These service interruptions, mentioned below,, are usually not serious and in most cases, can be remedied without calling a service technician.
