How to Care for Your Garbage Disposal
The garbage disposal is a very useful device that is placed in the sink and shreds food waste so that it can pass through the pipe. A garbage disposal is effective to avoid the smell of garbage in the wastebasket.
Tips for using the garbage disposal in your kitchen
- Let cold water run while the disposer is on.
- Don´t place any type of oils, fat, or grease in a garbage disposal.
- Keep what is very hard outside the crusher
The food grinder could ruin or become less efficient because small, hard objects can jam the rotating parts. Here is a list of some objects you should avoid: hard shells of shrimp, crabs, other seafood parts, chicken bones. Remember that you can make your own compost in a container with this waste food. The user manual usually specifies a list of objects that you should avoid.
- Do not drop fibrous or starchy objects in the grinder
They can cause serious blockages in the drainage because they could become entangled and starches could thicken.
The following items should be placed in the shredder in small pieces or simply not placed:
Banana peels
Celery Potato husk
Big quantities of ground coffee or coffee filters
Fruit nuggets and hard seeds of avocados or peaches
Onion Peels
Eggshells should not be placed in the crusher as they become a material similar to sand and clog the pipe.
- Avoid placing garbage or hard objects in the disposer
Common sense will help you a lot, but here are some examples of objects you should avoid:
Rubber bands
Tin cans
Wire Ties
Grease or fat
Glass, screws, nails 
Cigarette butts or caps for bottles
Paper or plastic
Any type of cord, rags or sponges
