chart, for model reference.)
1. Read important safety instructions contained in the Installation, Care & Use manual.
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.
DOn.
,, 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-
ing action is created by the par-
ticles inside 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...
,, Don't pour grease or fat down your disposer or any
drain. Itcan build up in pipes and cause drain
blockages. Put grease in a jar or can and dispose
in the trash.
,, Don't use hot water when grinding food waste. It
is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between
grinding periods.
,, Don't fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at
once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first
and then feed the peels in gradually.
,, Don't grind extremely fibrous materials like corn
husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid possible drain
blockage.
,, Don't turn off disposer until grinding is completed
and only sound of motor and water is heard.
,, Don't be alarmed if a brown discoloration appears
on the face of the grinding disc. This is normal. It is
surface discoloration only and will not affect the life
or performance of the disposer.

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
Overtime, food particles may accumulate inthe grindchamber and baffle. An odor from the disposer
is usually a sign ofgrease and foodbuildup, caused by insufficientwater flowduring and after disposer
use. To clean disposer:
1. Turnoff disposer and disconnect power supply.
2. Reach through sink opening and cleanunderside of splash baffleand inside upper lip of grind chamber
with scouring pad.
3. Place stopper in sink opening andfill sinkhalfway with warm water.
4. Mix 1/4cup bakingsoda withwater.Turn disposer on and remove stopperfrom sink at same time
to wash away looseparticles.
RELEASING DISPOSER JAM
If the motor stops during operation, the disposer may be jammed. To release jam:
1. Turn off the disposer and water.
2. Insert one end of the self-service wrenchette into the center hole on the bottom of the
disposer (see Figure C). Work the wrenchette back and forth until it turns one full revolution.
Remove wrenchette.
3. Reach into the disposer with tongs and remove object(s). Allow the disposer motor to cool
for 3 - 5 minutes and lightly push red reset button on the disposer bottom (see Figure
C). (If the motor remains inoperative, check the service panel for tripped circuit breakers
or blown fuses.)
