Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficiency of your garbage disposal:

• Clean Regularly: Grind small bones or citrus peels (lemons, oranges) to help clean the grind chamber and freshen the drain.
• Removable Baffle: The removable baffle allows for easy cleaning of the grind chamber. Periodically remove and clean it to prevent odor buildup.
• Avoid Grease: Do not pour grease or oil down the disposal, as it can solidify and cause clogs.

Troubleshooting

If your InSinkErator Power 1HP garbage disposal encounters an issue, try these common troubleshooting steps:

• Disposal Not Starting: Check the reset button located on the bottom of the disposal. Press it firmly. Also, check your circuit breaker.
• Humming but Not Grinding: This usually indicates an item is jammed in the grind chamber. Turn off the disposal and water. Use the included wrenchette (or an Allen wrench) to insert into the center hole on the bottom of the disposal and turn it back and forth to free the jam.
• Leaking: Check all plumbing connections for tightness. Ensure the sink flange is properly sealed with plumber's putty.
• Odors: Grind citrus peels or ice cubes to help remove food particles and freshen the disposal.
