do:
- Grind
food waste w/ a moderate flow of cold water
- Grind
hard materials such as bones, fruit pits, etc. A
scouring action is created by the particles
inside the grind chamber.
- Grind
peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain
smells.
- Dispose
of coffee grounds in your disposer whether or
not you are on metropolitan sewer or septic
tank.
- Flush
disposer for cleaning. Allow disposer & cold
water to run after grinding or after draining
sink of dish water. Some
detergents
are caustic; flushing will pass such material
into the drain line w/out disposer damage.
- Use
a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodorizer as
necessary.
don't
- Use
hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to
drain hot water into the disposer between
grinding periods.
- Turn
off motor or water until grinding is
completed.
- Be
alarmed if a brown discoloration appears on the
face of the grinding disc. This is normal. It is
surface discoloration only
&
will
not affect the life or performance of the
disposer.
- Grind
extremely fibrous material like corn husks,
artichokes, etc. to avoid possible drain
blockage.
