How to use a food waste disposer

1. Preparation before starting
‌Turn on the faucet‌: Make sure the cold water is flowing. The water flow can help crush and flush the residue to prevent the sewer from being blocked.
‌Check the power supply and equipment‌: Confirm that the power supply of the disposer is connected and there are no large foreign objects in the sink (such as metal, glass and other non-food garbage).
2. Steps for putting in food waste
‌Start the machine first and then put it in‌: Press the power switch to start the disposer. After it runs normally, slowly put in the food residue. ‌Do not put the garbage in first and then turn on the machine‌, otherwise it may cause the motor to overload.
‌Control the amount and type of putting in‌: ‌Avoid hard objects‌: Hard garbage such as large bones and ribs may damage the blade.
‌Limit fiber‌: Long-fiber foods such as sugarcane and edamame skin are easy to entangle the blade, so be careful when putting them in.
‌Prohibit non-food garbage‌: Non-crushable objects such as metal, glass, and plastic will damage the machine.
3. Precautions during use
‌Keep the water flow continuous‌: Keep the water flow throughout the crushing process to help the residue discharge and cool down.
‌Slowly put in‌: Especially for hard garbage, it should be put in small amounts and multiple times to avoid overload operation.
‌Avoid hot oil‌: High-temperature grease may solidify and block the pipe, and needs to be cooled before processing.
4. Cleaning and maintenance after use
‌Rinse the grinding chamber‌: After turning off the processor, continue to let the water flow rinse for 10-15 seconds to remove residual residue.
‌Regular deep cleaning‌: Clean the grinding chamber with alkaline detergent every 10 days or so to remove oil and odor.
‌Power off for long-term inactivity‌: If it is not used for a long time, unplug the power plug to save energy.
‌Key tips‌: Correct operation can extend the life of the equipment, and incorrect use (such as putting in non-food garbage or hard objects) may cause malfunctions or blockages.
