Fd
wastes are fed into the
dis~ser
through the
sink drain
opning.
The
wastes fa]l
into the grinding
mechanism and are
shr~d~
into
pafiic]es
small enough
to k floated away by the
cold ~ter
running through
holes in the
flywheel
and the
stminer
around the
flywheel.
When
the
shr~der implle~
on the flywheel
strike
hard
objec~ such as ~nes,
they
wil]
swivel back to
reduce the possibility of jamming.
What It Grinds
The disposer
wll]
grind
almost all
items of food waste.
Naturally, some items
require
less
time to grind than
others.
Items
such as
anlma]
fat,
stin
and hard bones take
longer to grind than vegetable parings.

through the drain. A rapid flow of
cold
water assists grinding, cleans
out the disposer, carries food waste
through the drain lines and helps
kwp
pipes clean.

Your disposer is permanently
lubricated. No
oiling is required
during the life of the unit.

disposer is self<leaning
when used properly.
Always use a
rapid flow of cold water and allow
the unit to run long enough to do
a thorough job of grinding and
flushing the food waste throughout
each operation.
To deodorize your disposer,
should an odor develop in the unit,
run orange or lemon rind through
the disposer. This will dispel
unpleasant odors and leave the
sink with a clean, sweet smell.
Grinding a dozen or so ice cubes
sptied
with a generous amount of
regular household scouring powder
(not drain cleaner) also has a
cleaning, deodorizing
eff~t.
Do
not use water when grinding
ice cubes.
To
keep drain lines
clan,
flush
out the disposer once a day as
follows:
1. Operate disposer to eliminate
any fd waste in disposer.
2. Seal sink drain and run two to
three inches of inter in the sink.
3. Remove sink drain stopper and
allow sink to drain naturally.
