Useful Tips For Your kitchen

Following these simple tips can help assure that the plumbing in your kitchen is operating correctly.

Garbage Disposal
You should never put hard to grind food components (coffee grinds, poultry skins, banana peels) in your kitchens garbage disposal.

Flushing Debris
Take a moment and run cool/cold tap water down your kitchen drain for 20 seconds before and after using the garbage disposal to make certain that you flush debris through the line.

Grease down the Drain
Never pour liquid greases down your kitchens sink. Wipe all excess grease from post, pans and the stove with a paper towel and dispose of in the wastebasket.

Odors from the Disposal
Over time odors may form from the buildup of food debris within your disposer. To help eliminate these odors try placing some ground ice cubes along with the lemon rinds for about 30-45 seconds. Another tip you may wish to try to rid the disposal of odors: Try placing a small amount of liquid dish detergent in the disposer with the disposer running. Rinse the remaining debris with cold water for approximately thirty seconds.

Disposal Stops Working
Should your garbage disposer stop working it may be because the system is overheating and automatically shut down. Should the disposer shut off while in operation try turning the disposer off. Keep your hands and any objects from the drain and with the power still off push the red reset button located at the base of the disposer. Then restart the disposer by turning the power switch back on.
