Proper Garbage Disposal Usage 

 

Turn water on first: Always run a steady stream of cool water before turning on the unit, and keep it running for a few seconds after turning it off. 
 

Turn disposal on before feeding food: 
 

Drop food scraps in gradually while the motor runs rather than packing it full at once. 
 

Avoid tough items: 
 

Never put grease, oil, potato peels, coffee grounds, bones, or fibrous materials like celery down the drain, as they cause clogs or jams
