- ٿڌي پاڻي جي وچولي وهڪري کي چالو ڪريو.
- Turn on the disposal unit.
- Slowly feed food waste into the disposal opening.
- Allow the disposal to run until all food waste is ground and flushed away. You will hear only the sound of the motor and running water.

مشڪلاتون
If your disposal stops working or experiences issues, try these common troubleshooting steps:
Disposal Not Starting (Humming Sound)
If the motor hums but the disposal does not grind, it may be jammed. Turn off the disposal and the water. Use the Jam-Buster Wrench (included with your unit) to insert into the center hole on the bottom of the disposal. Rotate it back and forth until the jam is cleared. Remove the wrench, then press the red reset button on the bottom of the disposal. Turn on the water and then the disposal to test.
Disposal Not Starting (No Sound)
If the disposal makes no sound when turned on, check the red reset button on the bottom of the unit. Press it firmly. If it does not reset, check your home's circuit breaker. Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working outlet if applicable.
ليڪ ڪرڻ
Leaks can occur from various points. Inspect all plumbing connections, including the discharge tube, dishwasher connection, and mounting assembly. Ensure all nuts and clamps are tightened securely. If the leak is from the bottom center of the disposal, the internal seals may have failed, indicating the unit needs replacement.
