WHAT
CAN
BE
PUT
IN
YOUR
KITCHENAID
DISPOSER?
Your
disposer
is
designed
to
dispose
of
food
wastes
including
bones,
fruit
and
vegetable
wastes,
pits,
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.
If
the
disposer
drains
into
a
septic
tank,
grinding
wastes
such
as
egg
shells,
lobster,
crab
and
shrimp
shells
should
be
kept
at
a
minimum.
Grinding
large
amounts
of
this
type
of
waste
may
re-
quire
more
frequent
cleaning
of
the
septic
tank
system.
DO NOT PUT ITEMS LIKE GLASS,
CHINA,
METAL,
TIN
CANS,
BOTTLE
CAPS
OR
OYSTER
AND
CLAM

THE
DISPOSER.
THESE
ITEMS

THE
TRASH.
DAMAGE
MAY
RESULT
TO
BOTH
DISPOSER
AND

THIS
TYPE
OF
TRASH
IS
PLACED
IN
A
DISPOSER.

wheel
in
grind
chamber
does
not
turn
freely
—check
the
follow-
ing

for
each

your
dealer
and
possibly
save
the
cost
of
a
service
call.
NOTE:
/f
disposer
remains
jammed
for
longer
than
30
seconds,
a
built-in
over-
load
protector
will
turn
disposer
off.
See
instructions
below
for
Built-in

Protection.
Each

rection

greater
efficiency
and
longer
grinding
element
life.
Should
the

PROTECTION
KitchenAid
Disposers
are
equipped
