Turn the power switch to the off position before attempting to clear a jam or remove an object from the disposer. R26;When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposer, use the Jami-nator Button (model 1000) or the self-service

wrenchette as described below.

R26;When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposer, use long-handled tongs or pliers.

R26;To reduce the risk of injury by materials that are expellable by a waste disposer, do not put the following into a dis- poser:

a)Clam or oyster shells

b)Caustic drain cleaners or similar products

c)Glass, china, or plastic

d)Large (whole) bones

e)Metal (such as bottle caps, tin cans, or utensils)

f)Hot grease or other hot liquids.

R26;When not operating the disposer, leave the drain cover in place to reduce the risk of objects falling into the disposer. R26;This product is designed to dispose of normal household food waste; inserting materials other than food waste into dis-

poser is not recommended. To reduce the risk of injury, do not use the sink containing the disposer for purposes other than food preparation (such as baby bathing or washing hair).

R26;Do not dispose of the following in the disposer: paints, solvents, household cleaners and chemicals, automotive fluids, or gasoline.

R26;Replace anti-splash baffle when worn to help prevent entry or ejection of material and splashing water.

R26;Before pressing reset button, attempting to clear jam, or removing objects from inside disposer, make sure disposer power switch is turned off.

R26;FIRE HAZARD: Do not store flammable items such as rags, paper, or aerosol cans near disposer. R26;Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in vicinity of disposer.
