Operating instructions.

Continuous Feed Models
A. Remove the sink stopper and turn on
a medium flow of cold water.
B. Turn the switch to ON.
C. Scrape in food waste. To speed up food
waste disposal, cut or break up large
bones, rinds and cobs. Large bones
and fibrous husks require considerable
grinding time and are more easily
thrown away with other trash. Do not
be alarmed that the disposer slows down
while grinding. The disposer is actually
increasing torque (grinding power) and
is operating under normal conditions.
D. Before turning the disposer off, let
the water and the disposer run for
approximately 25 seconds after
shredding stops. This assures that
all waste is thoroughly flushed through
the trap and drain.
E. Do not use hot water while running the
disposer. Cold water will keep food waste
and fats solid so they can be flushed
down the drain.
This disposer uses anti-jam swivel impellers that make a clicking sound as they swing into place.
This indicates normal operation.
Batch Feed Models
A. Remove the sink stopper and turn on
a medium flow of cold water.
B. Scrape in food waste.
C. Insert the stopper to start the disposer.
One of the two small slots in the stopper
base must line up with the switch plunger
inside the neck of the disposer.
NOTE: The oval shaped handle aligns with the
2 small slots in the stopper.
Push down firmly to start.
D. Run the disposer for 25 seconds after
shredding stops. This assures that all
waste is thoroughly flushed through
the trap and drain.
Lift the stopper to shut the disposer off.
E. To fill the sink, insert the stopper so that
the largest slot lines up with the switch
plunger. The stopper can now be pushed
down to seal the sink without starting the
disposer. When the medium-sized slot in
the stopper base is lined up with the
switch plunger, water can drain, but
tableware, etc., cannot be accidentally
dropped into the disposer.
