Fd wastes are fed into the dis~ser through the
sink drain
opning. The wastes fa]l into the grinding
mechanis
m
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, som
e
items require less time to grind than
others.
Items such as anlma] fat, stin and hard bones take
longer to grind than vegetable parings.
Mixing different ?Pes of ~s[e w1l improve grinding

HOW ~ OPEWTE YO~ DEPOS~
WARN~G-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
lNSTRU~IONS
before operating this appliance.
❑ Remove the stopper.
❑ Scrape food waste into the

through the sink drain but
DO NOT PACK
~ TIGHTLY.
~~R PUSH ~GERS
OR W- ~ED~G
~~ BEYOND THE
SW~H PLUNGER.
❑ ~rn on coti water to ftdl flow.
Cold water hardens greases so they
can be ground up and floated
away
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.
ALIGN
SMALLEST
SLOT WITH
PLUNGER
❑ To start disposer, insefi
stopper into sink opening so one of
the two
s-11 slots lines up with the
switch plunger inside the neck of
the disposer. Push down
fitiy. No
twisting is required.
❑ Run the disposer for 30
seconds after shredding stops
to
allow all food waste to be. flushed
through the drain line.
•~ shut the disposer off, lift
the stopper.
SEAL 1 DRAIN
POSITION POSITION
To fill sW, insefl stopper so the
k~esr slot lines up with the switch

down to A position without
activating disposer.
To drain sink, insert stopper so the
medium size slot is lined up with
plunger. Water can drain, but
tableware, etc. cannot be
accidendly dropped into disposer.
HOW to Speed Up
Food W-Disposal
Cut up or break up large bones,
melon rinds, grapefruit skins, com
cobs and fibrous materials such as
pineapple or vegetable stalks before
putting them into your disposer.
Items such as large bones and
fibrous husks like lima bean pods
require considerable cutting time in
your disposer. You may prefer to
put them in the trash can or trash
compactor.
Do not put lather, cloth, stdng,
rubber, mfood shells, artichoke
leaves or corn husks into your
disposer. These
items can cause
nuisance tripping of the motor
overload control.

Care and Cleani~
Your disposer is permanently
lubricated. No oiling is required
during the life of the unit.
Your 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.
