Operating instructions
1
Remove the sink stopper and turn on a medium flow of cold water.
Note:
Do not use hot water. Only cold water should be run through the waste disposer.
2
Press the wall mounted control switch, or an air switch if fitted, to activate the waste disposer.
3
Feed food items through the sink opening of the waste disposer gradually.
Note:
Overloading the waste disposer with too much food waste at once may cause the blades to jam
and the disposer to shut down. The overload button may be required to be reset. Refer to the
Overload Reset button section on page 9.
Caution!
Do not put hands or fingers into the waste disposer.
4
Before turning the waste disposer off, let the water and the disposer run for approximately half a
minute after shredding stops. This assures that all the food waste is thoroughly flushed through
the trap and drain.
Helpful Hints
If a dishwasher drain hose has been connected to the waste disposer, be sure that the waste
disposer’s chamber is empty before using the dishwasher to ensure the dishwasher is able to
drain properly.
It is recommended to leave the stopper in the drain when the disposer is not in use to prevent
utensils and foreign objects from falling into the waste disposer.
The waste disposer is designed to give you years of trouble-free service. The grinding mechanism
is built to handle all normal food wastes, but WILL NOT grind and dispose of items such as tin
cans, bottles, bottle caps, glass, china, leather, large bones, mussel or oyster shells. These are
waste materials that should be collected with your household rubbish.
We recommend cutting or breaking up items which require considerable grinding time, such
as melon rinds, grapefruit skins, small bones and corn cob husks or dispose of these items with
your household waste collection.
