How to Use a Garbage Disposal

All models vary slightly, but typically a user initiates the chopping by flipping a switch next to the sink, above the counter. There is a reset button on the grinding chamber (beneath the sink), and also a stopper switch. Tips for getting the most out of your garbage disposal:

1. Before turning on the disposal, run cool/room temperature water.
2. If possible, before allowing food into the grinding chamber, turn the disposal on.
3. Gradually feed food waste into the disposal.
4. Allow the water to run for a few seconds after turning off the disposal.
