The InSinkErator Evolution Essential is designed for efficient and safe operation. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance.

How Your Disposer Works:

Unlike blenders, your disposer does not use blades. Instead, impellers (lugs) on a spinning plate use centrifugal force to push food waste against a stationary grind ring. The grind ring breaks down the food waste into very fine particles, which are then flushed away with water.

4. After grinding is complete, turn off the disposer and let the water run for a few seconds to flush the drain line.

Acceptable Food Waste:

The MultiGrind Technology allows for grinding of most food scraps, including fruit and vegetable peels, small bones, coffee grounds, and food leftovers.

• Grease or fat
• Non-food items (e.g., plastic, glass, metal, paper)

5. Manteniment

Regular maintenance helps keep your disposer running smoothly.

Cleaning Your Disposer:

• Regular Flush: Always run cold water for a few seconds after grinding to flush out any remaining food particles.
