Use cold water only to operate your disposal.
Once or twice a month, fill your disposal with ice from your freezer and turn it on.
Reduce disposal odors by feeding lemon and orange rinds into your disposal while running cold water.
Your disposal does not have blades; it has impellers that push the food towards the grind shear ring. If the impellers freeze, food cannot be ground up properly.
Try using beef or pork bones—or even a peach stone. Place the object in the unit, run cold water and cover it with the supplied lid. It will be loud, but the Insinkerator is built to take it
Don't fear the worst yet! Just because it is not responding to the power switch, it could simply be the thermal fuse reset button. Place your hand under the unit and feel for a square button. Once you locate it, try pushing it in. If it feels like it went in, try the power switch again, and if it runs, problem solved. If not, call us.
Don't throw items in disposal that can be easily thrown away in your trash can, as those items can clog the circumference of the drain pipe from the disposal outlet all the way to the soil stack. If that occurs, a new drain line will be needed.
Stringy vegetable stalks and husks tend not to grind well. They will stick to the side of the grind chamber and prevent water from draining.
If your disposal is not operating and is out of warranty, please call us. We will recommend an Insinkerator PRO Model with an extended warranty that will fit your needs and budget.
