Home Care Guide: Disposals
Food should not be deposited into an inactivated disposal and the unit then turned on. The disposal will provide more effective disposing action if cold water is running and the unit is turned on prior to depositing food into it. When the unit is running, cold water should be used. This helps to solidify any grease in the disposal which can then be chopped up and moved out with the remainder of the foods. Once a month, a tray of ice cubes can be deposited into the disposal and chopped up. This has a cleaning action on the blades and exit areas of the disposal. If the disposal is jammed:
- Turn off the switch for the disposal before trying to unclog.
- Use the Allen wrench provided.
- Remove whatever has jammed the disposal.
- Press the reset button which is located on the bottom of the disposal, and the unit should be ready to function again.
