The Do’s and Don’ts of Waste DisposingOperating Instructions
To operate your waste disposer
Remove stopper from sink opening and1.
run water. Water should be cold, and flow
should be strong.
Slowly insert food waste into disposer,2.
and position stopper to minimize potential
ejection of material while grinding.
Press Air Switch (or operate Wall Switch)3.
for 1-2 seconds to start the disposer.
After grinding all food waste, press Air4.
Switch (or Wall Switch) for 1-2 seconds to
stop the disposer.
Run water for at least 15 seconds to flush5.
and aid draining.
WARNING
In the case of a sudden power outage during
operation of the disposer, please be sure to
turn the unit “off” by pressing the Air Switch
until you hear an audible “click” or set the Wall
Switch to the “off” position. Please then unplug
the disposer from the power supply to ensure
the unit is not on when power resumes.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Press Air Switch (or set Wall Switch to off) to
stop the unit, or turn electrical power off at
fuse box or circuit breaker.
Your De’Longhi Waste Disposer is designed to dispose of food waste including small bones, fruit
and vegetable waste, egg shells and coffee grounds.
Large pieces of food waste like melon rinds should be cut into smaller pieces before being put
into the disposer.
DO NOT put items like glass, china, metal, tin cans, bottle caps or oyster and clam shells into the
disposer. These items belong in the trash; damage may result to both disposer and drain system
if this type of trash is placed in the disposer.
Do…
Do turn on a moderate to strong flow of•
cold water before turning on the disposer.
Continue running cold water for at least
15 seconds after grinding is completed to
flush the drain line.
Do grind hard materials such as small•
bones, fruit pits, and ice. The particles
scour the inside of the grind chamber.
Do grind citrus fruit peels to freshen up•
the drain.
Do 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 down any drain. It can build
up in pipes and cause drain blockages.
Place grease in a jar or can and dispose
of in the trash.
Don’t use hot water when running the•
disposer. You may drain hot water into the
disposer between grinding periods.
Don’t fill disposer with a large mass of•
vegetable peel all at once. Instead, turn
the water and disposer on, then gradually
feed the peel into the disposer.
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. You should only hear the
sound of the motor and water.
Don’t be alarmed if a brown discoloration•
appears on the face of the grinding disc;
this is normal. It is only a superficial
discoloration and will not affect the life or
performance of the disposer.
