Garbage Disposer Tips
Do:
- Do run cold water while grinding waste
- Do grind beef bones, chicken bones, peach pits
- Do grind lemon or orange peels to eliminate odors
- Do let water and disposer run for several seconds after grinding is complete
- Do grind ice to clean the blades and impeller
Don't:
- Don't reach into the disposer with your hand, use tongs and only when the unit is unplugged
- Don't grind fibrous foods like corn husks, artichokes, banana peels or celery
- Don't operate the disposer without running water
- Don't use hot water for grinding, it melts fats which later may clog the drain
- Don't grind coffee grounds. They aren't a problem for the disposer but they build in the pipes.
