Proper use of a food waste disposer not only extends its life, but also ensures safety and efficiency. Here are some suggestions for using your food waste disposer:

1. read the instruction manual: carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance provided by the manufacturer before using the disposer for the first time.

2. Start it up correctly: Turn on the faucet before using it, then start the disposer, and only lastly pour in the food waste.

3. Avoid Hard Objects: Do not put hard objects such as metal, glass, plastic, large bones, fruit shells, etc. into the disposer; these items may damage the machine or cause clogging.

4. Use cold water: Use cold water rather than hot water as hot water may solidify grease and cause clogged pipes.

5. Clean regularly: Clean the disposer regularly to avoid the buildup of grease and food residue. Ice cubes or baking soda can be used to help clean the grinding disk.

6. Avoid overloading: Do not put too much food waste in at once, this can cause the disposer to overload and break.

7. Rinse after use: After use, allow cold water to continue running for a few seconds to help remove residual food waste.

8. Regular Maintenance: Check the parts of the disposer, such as the blades and grinding discs, regularly to make sure they are in good condition.

9. Watch for Noise: If the disposer makes an unusual noise, turn it off immediately and check for foreign objects stuck in it.

10. PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE: If there is a problem with the disposer, contact a service professional for inspection and repair; do not disassemble it yourself.

11. Comply with local codes: Know and follow local plumbing and electrical codes to ensure that the disposer is installed and used in compliance.

12. Splash Guard: Use a splash guard when the disposer is in operation to prevent splashing of food residue and to protect the user.

13. Power Cord Maintenance: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a professional to avoid electrical safety risks.

By following these recommendations, you can ensure the long-term stable operation of your food waste disposer and reduce the need for repairs and replacements.
