An InSinkErator food waste disposer is undoubtedly the best thing to have around when it comes to ensuring that your kitchen is clean and hygienic, devoid of odours and food waste. They are convenient and simple to use. All you have to do is, follow a few basic rules.
It’s a disposer, not a dump yard!
We all know about the phrase ‘Haste makes Waste’. Just as every dish requires its own sweet time for preparation;one should take time while disposing food waste in a food waste disposer. It is recommended that the food waste is gradually put in the InSinkErator, one by one, and not all the waste at once together like it is usually put in a dustbin.
Follow the operation recipe.
Just like you’d follow a recipe to the script to cook a perfect meal, same goes for disposing food waste in an InSinkErator.
Follow these steps for quick and easy food waste disposal:
1. Begin with running cool water
2. Followed by turning the disposer on
3. This in turn is followed by the waste being put in gradually, one by one
4. And lastly, run the disposer until the particles are all gone. In the end, turn the InSinkErator off and let the water run for another 10 seconds to flush out the drain.
Allow one basic truth to sink in.
Food waste disposers are specifically built to grind only food waste. Hence, wooden matches, cigarettes, rubber bands, plastic wrap, glass pieces and stickers found on fruit should never be put into an InSinkErator.
Clean the Cleaner.
It is important to clean an InSinkErator regularly, and well. And that’s where a few slices of lemon or a bit of lime will come in handy. All you have to do is toss them in; they are first-rate cleaners and can eliminate odours. Ice cubes are also a good option. Grind a few; they will knock off bits of food that may be caught inside the disposal. A note of warning: don’t get carried away and reach for the bottle of bleach or drain cleaners. They will play havoc with the disposer; hence strictly avoidable.
Fat is bad – while eating, and even while cleaning.
Please ensure that you do not pour grease, ghee, oil or fat into the disposal. The problem with grease especially is that it can solidify in the pipes like candle wax.
Follow these simple rules to avoid wasting time and get the maximum from your InSinkErator food waste disposer
