TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
1. Be sure disposer is empty before using your dishwasher so it may drain properly.
2. You may want to leave the stopper in the sink drain when not in use to prevent utensils and
foreign objects from falling into the disposer.
3. Your disposer is ruggedly built to give you many years of trouble free service. It will handle all
normal food waste, but it will NOT grind or dispose of such items as plastic, tin cans, bottle
caps, glass, china, leather, cloth, rubber, string, clam and oyster shells, aluminum foil or
feathers.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not attempt to lubricate your disposer!
The motor is permanently lubricated. The disposer is self cleaning and scours its internal parts
with each use.
NEVER put lye or chemical drain cleaners into the disposer, as they cause serious corrosion of
metal parts. If used, resulting damage can be 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before seeking repair or replacement, we recommend that you review the following:
LOUD NOISES: (Other than those during grinding of small bones and fruit pits): These are usually
caused by accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign object. To correct this, turn off
electrical switch and water. After disposer 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, depending on your model and wiring configuration. Remove stopper and/or
splash guard. Check to see if turntable will rotate freely using a wooden broom handle. If turntable
rotates freely, replace splash guard and check reset button to see if it has been tripped. Reset
button is red and located on the front of the disposer. Push button in until it clicks and remains
depressed.

If reset button has not been tripped, check for shorted or broken wire connecting
to disposer. Check electrical power switch, fuse box or circuit breaker. If wiring
and electrical components are intact, the unit may have internal problems that
require service or replacement.
IF TURNTABLE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELY: Turn off disposer, then check
for any foreign object lodged between the turntable and grind ring. Dislodge
object by rotating table with a wooden broom handle (see 7A) and remove
object. If no foreign object is present, there may be internal problems.
