Continuous Feed Disposer Operating Instructions:
1. Remove stopper from sink opening and run strong
flow of cold water.
2. Turn on wall switch to start disposer.
3. Slowly insert food waste into disposer and position
stopper to minimize possible ejection of material
while grinding.
4. After grinding is complete, turn disposer off and run
water for a few seconds to flush drain line.
