is 1 1/2 gallons per minute (medium to lull faucet flow.) Remember to turn the water on first, and then the disposer to avoid a possible drain block- age. After grinding is complete, the disposer and water may be turned off.

Depending upon your particular installation, it may be necessary to allow a water flush after grinding to completely clear the horizontal drain line. The water flow time after grinding will depend on the quantity of food waste that was ground, and the length of the horizontal drain line. Ground food waste and water flow at an approximate rate of 2 seconds per foot in a properly pitched horizontal drain pipe.

REMEMBER THESE OPERATING INSTRUC-

TIONS WHEN USING YOUR DISPOSER.

DON'T use hot water when grinding food waste, However, hot water can be drained into the disposer between gdnding periods

DON'T turn off motor or water until grinding is

completed and only a motor and water sound is heard.

DON'T become alarmed if a brown discoloration appears on the face of the grinding disc. This is

normal. It is a surface discoloration only and will not affect the life or performance of the disposer,

DON'T grind extremely fibrous material like corn husks, artichokes, etc. to avoid possible drain blockaae.

Stoppers are In drain/grind position.

If you should encounter an objectionable odor coming from your disposer, it may be the water itself, which in some areas develops a slightodor at times. Or it may be coming from bits of food waste left inside the disposer, because the unit was turned off before the grind cycle was com-

pleled or not enough water was used. Try this remedy, after all remaining food waste is dis-

posed of inside the unit:

Heat a large pan of water (approximately 3 to 4 quarts). To this add one-half cup of baking soda. Mix in thoroughly so it is completely dissolved.

When water reaches approximate boiling point, tum disposer on and pour heated mixture into

sink. This hot, swirling, treated water will then flush the inside of the disposer housing.
