Keeping Your Garbage Disposal in Good Shape
The working of a garbage disposal unit is very simple. Most garbage disposals use a common technology that consists of a rotating masher made of steel and a disposal wall on the inside that has teeth to do the grinding work. It consists of a motor inside which rotates the flat plate in the grinding area.
Garbage disposal units should be allowed to run only until the food particles have been ground. The time required for this is only about 30 seconds. Then a stream of cold water should be allowed to pass and the disposal should be run for another 30 seconds.
The dishwasher should be connected to the garbage disposal unit to ensure that the food particles from the dishwasher are fed into it and disposed of through the disposal. When you’re looking for a new garbage disposal look for features such as corrosion protection and overload manual buttons.
As with any other appliance, proper maintenance and use will keep your garbage disposal in tip top condition. To keep your garbage disposal free of food odors, drop a small piece of lemon into it once in a while.
