How does an Insinkerator work?

Food waste is fed into the disposer together with water from the ambient cold tap. The food waste is simply and quickly ground into fine particles, no knives and no blades. The food waste is then washed away through the waste disposer and into your normal waste system or into the sewerage.

The Insinkerator food waste disposer is designed to cope with most types of food waste, including — bones from fish and poultry and meat, fish scraps, vegetables, fruit, egg shells and much more. Food waste disposers are designed for food waste only and packaging materials should not be put into the disposer.

There are the 4 easy steps to operate a disposer:

  1. Collect all food waste in the sink during food preparation and at clean up.
  2. Turn on the ambient cold water followed by the disposer.
  3. Feed the food waste into the disposer. Listen for the disposer to finish its work.
  4. After grinding is complete, turn off the disposer and let the water run for a few seconds to flush the drain lines.

*Never pour grease or fat into disposer or any drain.

Insinkerator disposers are designed to be maintenance-free. Regular usage is the best way to keep your disposer in good condition. A moderate stream of ambient cold water following each use will keep your disposer clean.
