DO'S AND DON'TS
DO …
• First turn on a moderate to strong flow of cold water
and then turn on the disposer. Continue running cold
water for a few seconds after grinding is completed
to flush the drain line.
• Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits,
and ice. A scouring action is created by the particles
inside the grind chamber.
• Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up
drain smells.
Important – The model LC-50 is designed specifically for light commercial use. Examples of these applications
include: grocery/convenience store delis, fast food restaurants, office/church kitchens, and bed and breakfast inns.
Use of this disposer in applications other than those named above may void your warranty.
• Use a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodorizer as
necessary to relieve objectionable odors caused by
grease build-up.
OPERATING THE DISPOSER
1. Remove stopper from sink opening and run strong flow of cold water.
2. Turn on wall switch to start disposer.
3. Slowly insert food waste into disposer and position stopper to minimize possible ejection of material while
grinding. After grinding is complete, turn disposer off and run water for a few seconds to flush drain line.
DON'T …
• Don't pour grease or fat down your disposer or any
drain. It can build up in pipes and cause drain
blockages. Put grease in a jar or can and dispose in
the trash.
• Don't use hot water when grinding food waste. It
is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between
grinding periods.
• Don't fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at
once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first
and then feed the peels in gradually.
• Don't grind large amounts of egg shells or fibrous
materials like corn husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid
possible drain blockage.
• Don't turn off disposer until grinding is completed and
only sound of motor and water is heard.
