2.Remove stopper from sink opening and place food waste into disposer grind chamber. Do
not pack chamber with waste. Place stopper back in sink opening. Run a strong flow of cold water.
3.Turn on disposer by lifting stopper slightly and turning to left or right until disposer starts. (See Figure B; Seal- Completely in, Drain- Lift 1/4 inch and turn, Start- Turn fully left or right.)
4.After grinding is complete, turn disposer off by removing the stopper and allow water to run for at least 15 seconds to flush drain line.

"First turn on a moderate to strong flow of cold water and then turn
on the disposer. Continue running cold water for 15 seconds after grinding is completed to flush the drain line.
Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and ice A scour- mg action is created by the par- tEcles reside the grind chamber. Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain smells
Use a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodorizer as necessary to relieve objectionable odors caused by grease build-up.
DON'T...
oDon'tpour grease or fat down your disposer or any drain. It can build up in pipes and cause drain
blockages. Put grease in a jar or can and dispose in the trash.
oDon'tuse hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods.
oDon'tfill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels m gradually.
oDon'tgrind extremely fibrous matenals like corn husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid possible drain blockage.
,,Don'tturn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of motor and water is heard.
oDon'tbe alarmed if a brown discoloration appears on the face of the grinding d_sc. This _snormal It is surface discoloration only and will not affect the life or performance of the d_sposer.

_k CAUTION
Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for water leaks, as water leaks can cause property damage. Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for property damage as a result of water leaks.
CLEANING DISPOSER
Over time, food particles may accumulate in the grind chamber and baffle. An odor from the disposer Esusually a sign of grease and food buildup, caused by insufficient water flow during and after disposer use _ocJ_an disposer:
1 Turn off d_sposerar'ddisconnect power supply
2Reach through sink opening and clean underside of splash baffle and ms,de upper hp of grind chamber with scouring pad.
3Place stopper in sink opening and fill sink halfwaywith warm water
4Mix 1/4cup baking soda w_thwater Turn d_sposeron and remove stopper from sink at same time to wash away loose particles
RELEASING DISPOSER JAM
If the motor stops during operation, the d_sposer may be jammed To release lam: 1 Turn off the disposer and water.
