GE Disposal Operating Instructions
This disposer uses anti-jam swivel impellers that make a clicking
sound as they swing into place.
This indicates normal operation.
- A. Remove the sink stopper and turn on
a medium flow of cold water.
- B. Turn the switch to ON.
- C. Scrape in food waste. To speed up food
waste disposal, cut or break up large
bones, rinds and cobs. Large bones
and fibrous husks require considerable
grinding time and are more easily
thrown away with other trash. Do not
be alarmed that the disposer slows down
while grinding. The disposer is actually
increasing torque (grinding power) and
is operating under normal conditions.
|
- D. Before turning the disposer off, let
the water and the disposer run for
approximately 25 seconds after
shredding stops. This assures that
all waste is thoroughly flushed through
the trap and drain.
- E. Do not use hot water while running the
disposer. Cold water will keep food waste
and fats solid so they can be flushed
down the drain.

| Helpful Hints |
- A. Be sure the disposer is empty before using
the dishwasher so it can drain properly.
- B. You may want to leave the stopper in the
drain when not in use to prevent utensils
and foreign objects from falling into the
disposer.
- C. The disposer is ruggedly built to give you
years and years of trouble-free service.
It will handle all normal food wastes---
BUT it will not grind and dispose such
items as tin cans, bottles and bottle caps,
glass, china, leather, cloth, crockery,
rubber, string, feathers, or clam or oyster
shells. These are waste materials and
belong in the trash can or trash
compactor.
|
- D. TO SPEED UP FOOD WASTE
DISPOSAL…Cut or break up large bones,
melon rinds, grapefruit skins and corn
cobs. Items such as large bones, fibrous
husks like lima bean pods and corn husks
require considerable cutting time. For this
reason, you may prefer to place them in
the trash can or trash compactor.
