~ER USAGE - ALL MODELS

recommended water flow for efficient grinding

is 1 1/2 gallons per minute (medium to full faucet

flow.) Remember to turn the water on first, and

then the disposer to avoid a possible drain block

age. After grinding is complete, the disposer and

water may be turned off.

Depending upon your particular instaliation, it may

be necessary to allow a water flush after grinding

to completely clear the horizontal drain line. The

water flow lime after grinding will depend on the

quantity of food waste that was ground, and the

length of the horizontal drain fine. Ground food

waste and water flow at an approximate rale of 2

seconds per foot in a properly pitched horizontal

drain pipe.

grind food waste only with a strong flow of

water.

grind hard material such as bones, fruit pits,

A scouring action is created by the particles

e of the grind chamber,

dispose of coffee grounds in your disposer

rdless of whether or not you are on

opolltan sewer or septic tank. Coffee

nds will not harm the action of the septic

iispose of small amounts of fats and greases

)ur disposer. Be sure to have the disposer

ating and use a strong flow of cold water. If

have a large amount of fat and grease, we

lest you place It in a container, allow it to

ify, then dispose of it in the trash.

Hush disposer for cleaning. Allow disposer

and cold water to run after grinding or after drain

ing sink of dish water. Some detergents are

caustic; flushing will pass such material into the

drain line without disposer damage.

DON'T use hot water when grinding food waste,

However, hot water can be drained inlo the

disposer between grinding periods.

DON'T turn off motor or water until grinding is

completed and only a motor and water sound is

heard.

DON’T become alarmed if a brown discoioration

appears on the face of the grinding disc. This is

normal. II is a surface discoloration only and will

not affect the life or performance of the disposer,

DON’T grind exiremely fibrous maferial like corn

husks, artichokes, etc. to avoid possible drain

blockaae.

tl you should encounter an objectionable odor

coming from your disposer, it may be the water

itself, which in some areas develops a slight odor

at times. Or it may be coming from bits of food

waste left inside the disposer, because the unit

was turned off before the grind cycle was com

pleted or not enough water was used. Try this

remedy, after all remaining food waste is dis

posed of inside the unit:

Heat a large pan of water (approximately 3 to 4

quarts). To this add one-half cup of baking soda.

Mix in thoroughly so it is completely dissolved.

When wafer reaches approximate boiling point,

turn disposer on and pour heated mixture into

sink. This hot, swirling, treated water will then

flush the inside of the disposer housing.
