Keep the water running throughout the entire use, and cold water is recommended. Cold water can solidify grease, preventing it from sticking to the inner walls of the pipes and causing clogs. After processing the waste, it is recommended to continue running water for 15–20 seconds to thoroughly flush away residual debris in the pipes.

There are no sharp blades in the traditional sense. The device relies on blunt rotating impellers to press food against the edge of the grinding ring and grind it into particles. The grinding chamber is located about 20 cm below the drain opening. Under normal use, the grinding components cannot be reached, and legitimate products are equipped with overload protection, power-off protection, and other safety mechanisms, so they are safe to use.

Can be processed: vegetable leaves, leftovers, melon and fruit peels and cores, fish bones, small chicken and duck bones, shrimp shells, eggshells, corn cobs, and other common kitchen waste.

Yes. Most food waste disposers are equipped with a dishwasher inlet, allowing the dishwasher drain hose to be connected directly. The wastewater discharged by the dishwasher can also help flush the interior chamber of the disposer.
