OPERATION WITH
DISHWASHER
QE If your dishwasher drains through your
disposer run the disposer for a short
time before starting the dishwasher.
Mg This will insure that the disposer is free
MEE of any unground food waste. Such
waste could cause a “backup” of the
discharge water from the dishwasher.
DO NOT OPERATE THE DISPOSER
WHILE THE DISHWASHER IS IN OP-
ERATION. After operating the dish-
washer, run the disposer for a short
time to clean and flush all particles dis-
charged by the dishwasher into the dis-
poser down the main drain line.
When the dishwasher is in operation,
we recommend the cover be placed in
the DRAIN position. This will eliminate
the possibility of water splash out.
GROUNDING
INFORMATION
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead
on the disposer. For detailed instruc-
tions see Installation Instructions.
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL
CODES.
This disposer is Listed by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc.
USE
ENERGY
WISELY
A food waste disposer uses a negligible
amount of energy. Total energy require-
ments associated with operating a food
waste disposer will be minimized by fol-
lowing the recommendations in this
Use and Care Guide.
CARE AND
CLEANING
The unique design of the grinding ele-
ments of the disposer create a whirling
water action which keeps the grinding
chamber always clean and free of
odors.
Do not “store” food waste in the dis-
poser between grindings. This can lead
to odors, a clogged drain or a jam.
Use COLD water only when operating
the disposer. Cold water hardens
greasy substances, making it easy to
grind them into tiny particles. Cold
water also keeps grease from sticking
to the drain lines.
CAUTION: NEVER use chemical or
solvent drain compounds in the dis-
poser. They can cause serious damage
and are unnecessary if the disposer is
operated according to the above in-
structions. If a drain cleaner is abso-
lutely necessary, use one labeled “safe
for disposers” or “enzymatic cleaner”
like Rid-X.
Your KitchenAid disposer is perma-
nently lubricated and will never need
additional lubrication.
