CLEANING
The food waste disposer should be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. Allow the disposer to run
a few minutes after disposing of all food waste to completely flush out the interior. If food waste is
allowed to accumulate due to improper clean-up, it will give off offensive odors. If this happens,
cleaning can be accomplished by using a stiff brush with a strong soap and hot water solution. Light
cleaning can be accomplished by grinding ice and a lemon through the disposer.
CAUTION: Do not use chemical solvents or other drain cleaning compounds through the disposer.
MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is required for the food waste disposer. The disposer has grease packed sealed
bearings requiring no service.
CUTTER BLOCKS
The cutter blocks (1, Fig. 1) may be rotated by a qualified Hobart Service Technician if the cutting edges
become worn.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The disposer motor is protected by a thermal, resettable overload protector and will trip if the motor is
overloaded. To reset, allow approximately five minutes for cooling, then press the manual reset button
located on the motor shell opposite the motor junction box. An arrow on the motor shell indicates
location of the button. Restart the disposer using normal operating procedure. If overload protector
continues to trip, contact your local Hobart Service Office.
WATER SEAL VENT
A small weep hole (1, Fig. 6) in the side of the lower housing vents the dry side of the water seal. Water
leaking from this weep hole is an indication of water seal leakage. If leaking, the water seal should be
replaced. DO NOT plug or put grease in the weep hole.
