Introduction
Linear food waste disposers are CE & RoHS certified.
Our models have been installed across Europe, Asia, Africa and also North and
South America, for over 10 years.
A Linear food waste disposer is an innovative household product that will enhance
any kitchen. With the potential to reduce odour, harmful bacteria and viruses
caused by rotten food leftovers, in addition to reducing land-fill waste, a Linear
food waste disposer really is the ideal solution for the modern kitchen.
All of our units use an electric motor to grind food waste into very small pieces
which can be flushed away through the sewer system and sent to the waste water
treatment plant. The result is a cleaner kitchen, with no bins full of rotting food
waste.
What your Linear Food Waste Disposer can be used for:
✔Food leftovers, fish bones, vegetable scraps, egg shells, tea
leaves, corn cobs, small bones, vegetable peelings, nut shells etc.
✘Plastic bags of any type or size, rope, glass, ceramics, aluminium
cans, foamed plastics, big bones etc.
The above list is not exhaustive and care should be taken when deciding what can
be disposed of using the unit. If in doubt, please use alternative disposal method.

Dishwasher connection
If you are utilising a dishwasher, complete the following procedure:
Decide which connection method is more appropriate for1.
your installation, either using the connection on the outlet
elbow, or directly on the machine case. If choosing to
use the direct connection to the unit case, the following
procedure must be followed.
Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden dowel),2.
knock out entire plug. Do not use a screwdriver or sharp
instrument. When knockout plug falls into disposer, you
may remove it or simply leave it to be ground up when the
disposer is first used. This will not damage the disposer in
any way, but may take some time to grind over the course
of several uses. (figure. 10)
Connect dishwasher hose using a jubilee clip to secure.3.
Make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in
accordance with all building regulations. Run water and
check for leaks. (figure. 11)

perfectly normal as the disposer is actually increasing torque (grinding power)
and is operating under normal conditions.
Before turning disposer o, let water and disposer run for approximately 154.
seconds after disposal stops. This assures that all waste is thoroughly flushed
through trap and waste pipe.
It is not recommended to use hot water while running the unit. Cold water will5.
keep waste and fats solid so disposer can flush away particles.
Tips for successful operation

Troubleshooting
Before seeking repair or replacement, please review the following:
Phenomenon Possible reason and action
Loud noise (Other than those during grinding of small bones and fruit
stones/pips): These are usually caused by accidental entry
of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign object. To correct
this, turn o unit and isolate electrical power. After unit
has stopped, remove splash guard, remove object with long
handled tongs, and replace splash guard.
Unit does not
start
Unplug power cord or turn either the wall switch or breaker
box switch to “OFF” position, or push the air switch,
depending on your model and wiring configuration. Remove
stopper and/or splash guard. Check to see if turntable will
rotate freely using a wooden spoon handle. If turntable
rotates freely, replace splash guard and check re-set button
to see if it has been tripped. Re-set button is red and
located at the bottom of the machine. Push button in until it
clicks and remains depressed. If re-set button has not been
tripped, consult a qualified electrical engineer to check for
shorted or broken connections, electrical power switch, fuse
box and circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical components
are intact, the unit may have internal problems that require
service or replacement in which case contact the customer
helpline.
If turntable does
not rotate freely
Turn o disposer, then check for any foreign object lodged
between the turntable and grinding ring. Dislodge object
by rotating table with a wooden spoon handle and remove
object. If no foreign object is present, there may be internal
problems in which case contact the customer helpline.
Leaks If the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:
Improper seating of sink flange (gasket centring, putty1.
or tightening).
Support ring not tightened properly.2.
Defective or improperly installed splash guard.3.
If unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due to
improper tightening of elbow flange screws.

Cleaning and maintenance
I) Do not attempt to lubricate your disposer.
The motor is permanently lubricated. The disposer is self cleaning with each use.
NEVER put chemical drain cleaners into the disposer, as they cause serious corrosion
of metal parts. If used, resulting damage is easily detected and all warranties are
void. Mineral deposits from your water can form on the stainless steel turntable,
giving the appearance of rust. DO NOT BE ALARMED, the stainless steel turntables
used will not corrode and can be cleaned with specialist cleaner such as ‘Bar Keepers
Friend’.
II) How to use the Reset button.
Pull the plug out from the socket to cut o power source.1.
If the blockage is caused by very hard objects such as metals, ceramics, nylon2.
products and so on, use long tweezers to pick them up, if not use long wooden
objects, for example a wooden spoon, to move the cutter head to the right and
left.
Insert one end of a hex-key into the centre hole at the bottom of the machine3.
and turn it to the right and left till it can revolve freely.
Press down the red reset button. When the motor is blocked by some objects, the4.
Overload Protection System will trip to protect the motor. The Reset button will
pop up at once and the machine will stop automatically.
Insert the plug back into the socket to supply power again and the machine can5.
be used normally.
Marks caused by deposits or scale on the cutter head are normal after use. The inner
components and surfaces of the food waste disposer is made up of corrosion-proof
materials.
