With normal usage your disposer should not require any special care.
The motor is permanently lubricated and will not require oiling under normal usage conditions. If used according to the operating
instructions above, your disposer should not require cleaning. However should it start to smell grinding a tray of ice cubes in the disposer
will clean the grinding components. Grinding a lemon cut into quarters will also give your disposer a fresh, clean smell.

This switch of red colour has located on the bottom of the machine and it is suitable to the interrupt the current in case
that the motor has come to a very high temperature (in case the machine has been left accidentally switched-on)
Wait for few minutes to keep the motor cooler, then push the button in the higher position in order to start-up the
disposer.
2. VERIFY THE PRESENCE OF THE TENSION ON THE LINE
Check that to the shunt socket the presence of 220V current. Will be enough to insert in the socket another house
appliance having the same voltage and verify the running.
3. VERIFY THE SWITCH
Check that the switch or the eventual remote control has not been damaged.
Verify the level of the battery of the remote control, and eventually replace it.
4. VERIFY CABLE –PLUG – SOCKET
Check that the connection phase-neutral, switch, machine has been done correctly .
Warning: Turn off the power before to enter in such part.
5. VERIFY PROBABLE GRIPPING
Check that foreign matters (example: spoon) or a big quantity of material has not gripped the grinding mechanism.
Position the switch located on the system in OFF position or removes the plug from the socket.
Insert the hexagonal key, supplied as outfit, inside the relevant position located centrally on the bottom of the device
(Fig. 1) and turn clockwise and counter clockwise in order to release the disposer.

SECTION B
1. USE MODALITY BY THE CLIENT
Verify with the client the exact operating procedure:
Open the water (max bolt) switch on the machine, push the organic material inside the grinding chamber. At the end of
the grinding, flush the water with switched on machine for few seconds, switch off the disposer and close the water.
2. REMOVE ANTI-FLOW BULKHEAD
On different types of 2/3 ways drain traps, there is an inside anti-flow bulkhead to the level of the central coupler.
Disassemble the draining-trap with the help of a proper tool, remove this membrane that reducing the useful diameter
section might cause obstruction in this point (fig.3)
Fig. 3 BULKHEAD TO BE REMOVED
3. USE MORE WATER (AVOID THE DRY USE)
It is very important to do not load the grinding chamber before the water opening and the start up of the disposer.
In this case, or in case of using small quantity of water, it will become a mixture of a difficult scavenging or a possible
obstruction.

For the disposer, the water is the carrier of the waste; bigger will be the quantity of used water, better will be the result.
4. AVOID THE GRINDING OF PARTICULARLY FRIBROUS FOOD AND IN BIG QUANTITIES (ARTICHOKE AND
CELERY)
The disposer has not blades, but is working like a grater. This peculiarity keep the machine reliable on service, but at the
same time the missing of blades, keep problematic the discharge of very fibrous food (artichoke, celery, leek etc. in
considerable quantity).
In case of the disposer waste pipe obstruction due to the accidental insertion of the above material by the user, check
the drain-trap and remove manually the existing fibrous obstruction.
5. CLEANING OF PIPING
Could happen that in not recent houses, the drain pipes of the kitchen are in lead and/or with reduced diameter. In this
case, before the installation of the disposer, we suggest to make a preventive cleaning of the first section of the above
pipes, using common plumbers’ tool in order to remove eventual deposit due to sediment cleaner emulsions and
calcareous deposit, which further reduces the useful diameter.
SECTION C
VERIFY THE ACCIDENTAL INSERTION AND/OR FALLING OF FOREIGN
MATTERS.
Check the absence of foreign matters to the inside of the grinding chamber (example: screws, can’s tongue etc.) . If after
a first visual exam, nothing will be visible, remove the disposer from the sink (take out the plug, release the fixing clamp
and unloose the drain-trap), now verify carefully the presence of foreign matters.
Grinding particular hard subject, as fruit’s stone (peach and apricot) could happen that some small residual will remain
restrained on the grinding ring, causing a noisily running, to solve such problem, remove the above residual with the help
of a tool, than re-install the disposer.
VERIFY THE LUBRICATION
It happens that a sole grinding of a particular dry waste or of a sole vegetal origin, will not grant the necessary lubrication
to the rotating parts inside the grinding chamber, originating in this case a noisily running of the disposer.
To avoid such inconvenient, we suggest, during the running of the machine, to drop inside the grinding chamber a small
quantity of alimentary oil.

VARIOUS
The following notes , concerning the disposer, has been originated by our own experience acquired on “the battle
ground”:
•Absolutely do not use any acid or solvent (example caustic soda) for the sink where a disposer has been installed,
as the above substances could cause the corrosion of the seals with the high risk of serious damages.
•For sinks not in steel, we suggest to use as sealing, between the drain pipe and the sink as well, normal stopper for
sanitary wares.
•For a periodical cleaning of the disposer, we suggest to grind ice with some lemon clove.
•In case You would decide to connect the dishwater exhaust pipe on the foreseen connection on the disposer, must
be removed the plug normally closed, verifying that the above or part of the same, will not remain to the inside of
the grinding chamber, causing during the start up a noisily functioning.
•Best grinding results, will be obtained by the mixing of the different waste material (vegetable, bread, fruit’s stone,
paste and different peels)
