USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
Trouble Shooting
Loud noises while your disposer is operating
are usually caused by dropping metal ob-
jects into the disposer. To correct this, turn
off the disposer switch and water. After
grinding disc has stopped turning, investi-
gate. Remove object by reaching into unit
with tongs.
Motor stops while your disposer is opera-
ting. This can be caused by overloading the
unit. First, check the cause of the over-
load - often some foreign material is in the
disposer.
To avoid personal injury turn
off the disposer switch and water. Remove
the object
as previously
explained.
TO
RESTART THE MOTOR: wait 3 to 5 min-
utes, then push in on the small red reset
button located on the bottom of your disposer
(Fig. 1). If motor remains inoperative, check
your Service Panel and replace any blown
fuses, or look for a tripped circuit breaker.
NOTE:
If water
does not drain as readily
as
you think it should,
and food waste tends to
float or take too long to grind,
don't reduce
water flow to solve
this problem.
It is very
likely that the drain
line is partially
clogged
and should
be cleaned
with a drain auger. A
blocked
drain may also cause food waste
to
drain into the dishwasher.
Like any precision
machine,
your disposer
was built to perform
a particular job. If unusual demands are plac-
ed on it, service
interruptions
are possible.
These
service
interruptions,
mentioned
below,, are usually
not serious
and in most
cases,
can
be remedied
without
calling
a
service technician.
