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.
