Garbage Disposals
Here are some Do's &
Don'ts for your garbage disposal:
-
Grind food waste with
moderate flow of water.
-
Grind small amounts of
peelings from citrus fruits (1/4 of an
orange) to freshen up your drain.
-
Flush your disposal to
allow for cleaning by allowing the
disposal and water to run after grinding
or dumping dishwater.
-
Use a disposal cleaner or
degreaser or deodorizer as needed.
-
Do not use hot water when
grinding food waste. It is ok to drain hot
water between grinding periods
-
Do not turn off the
disposal or the water until grinding is
completed.
-
Do not grind fibrous
materials like cornhusks, artichokes,
onionskins, celery, etc. to avoid possible
drain blockage.
-
Never overload the
grinding chamber as this can overload the
motor and cause it to stop.
-
Don't pour liquid grease
down the drain. Before washing pots and
pans, wipe out congealed grease with a
paper towel.
If you have odors from
your sink, this is likely due to build up
of food debris inside you garbage
disposal. To eliminate these odors, place
ice cubes and lemon peels in the disposal
and let it run for about 30 seconds, then
rinse it with cold water for about 20
seconds.
Does the Air Gap on top
of your sink “spit?” This is probably
due to something restricting the drainage
line. Make sure the line FROM the air gap
is not kinked and that nothing is
partially blocking it where it connects to
the drain.
