•  

  Be sure to use COLD water and run plenty of water when using disposal.

Please see below for items that should not be put down disposal

• Rice and pasta- No matter how much water you run or how long you run the appliance, you can never break rice or pasta down small enough. Both items swell when they are in contact with water, so the small pieces will eventually gather in the trap and swell until it is closed.
• Animal bones- The garbage disposal is just not strong enough to break these down small enough to fit through. Animal bones are the most common thing that jams disposals.
• Grease- The grease will eventually solidify and clog a portion, or all, of your drain.
• Egg shells- Despite what you may have heard, egg shells do not sharpen disposal blades
• Any kind of stringy or tough-peeled vegetable- This includes asparagus, lettuce, celery and potato peels.

• Reset GFI by pushing button in middle of outlet (usually a red button)
  • GFI units are usually in Kitchen, Bathroom & Garage
