INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
W A R N I N G
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is required when an
appliance is used near children.
• Do not put fingers or hands into a waste disposer.
• Turn the power switch to the off position before attempting to
clear a jam, removing an object from the disposer or pressing reset
button.
• When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposer, use the self-
service wrenchette.
• When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposer, use
long-handled tongs or pliers.
• Do not put the following into a disposer: clam or oyster shells,
caustic drain cleaners or similar products, glass, china, or plastic,
large (whole) bones, metal (such as bottle caps, steel shot, tin
cans, or utensils), hot grease or other hot liquids.
Personal Injury: Do not position your head or body under disposer;
unit could fall during removal or installation.
Electric Shock
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• This disposer must be properly grounded.
• Do not attach ground wire to gas supply pipe.
• Disconnect power before installing or servicing disposer.
• If three-prong grounded plug is used, plug must be inserted into three-hole grounded receptacle.
• All wiring must comply with local electrical codes.
• Do not reconnect electrical current at main service panel until proper grounds are installed.
1. Remove stopper from sink opening and run strong flow of cold water.
2. Turn on wall switch to start disposer.
3. Slowly insert food waste into disposer. CAUTION! Position stopper to minimize possible ejection of material while grinding.
4. After grinding is complete, turn disposer off and run water for a few seconds to flush drain line.
DO...
• First turn on a moderate to strong flow of cold water and then turn
on the disposer. Continue running cold water for a few seconds after
grinding is completed to flush the drain line.
• Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and ice. A
scouring action is created by the particles inside the grind chamber.
• Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain smells.
• Use a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodorizer as necessary to
relieve objectionable odors caused by grease build-up.
Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for water leaks, as
water leaks can cause property damage. Manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for property damage as a result of water leaks.

, 9, 10s
®
• When not operating a disposer, leave the stopper in place to reduce the
risk of objects falling into the disposer.
• This product is designed to dispose of normal household food waste;
inserting materials other than food waste into disposer could cause
personal injury and/or property damage.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not use the sink containing the
disposer for purposes other than food preparation (such as baby
bathing or washing hair).
• Do not dispose of the following in the disposer: paints, solvents, house-
hold cleaners and chemicals, automotive fluids, plastic wrap.
• FIRE HAZARD: Do not store flammable items such as rags, paper
or aerosol cans near disposer. Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in vicinity of disposer.
Do not use plumber's putty on any other disposer connection other
than sink flange. Do not use thread sealants or pipe dope. These may
harm disposer and cause property damage.
W A R N I N G
DON'T...
• Don't pour grease or fat down your disposer or any drain. It can build
up in pipes and cause drain blockages. Put grease in a jar or can and
dispose in the trash.
• Don't use hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot
water into the disposer between grinding periods.
• Don't fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn
the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels in gradually.
• Don't grind large amounts of egg shells or fibrous materials like corn
husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid possible drain blockage.
• Don't turn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of
motor and water is heard.
