Installing an InSinkErator Disposer
InSinkErator garbage disposers are easy to install, remove, and replace.

Do's & Don'ts for Trouble-Free Disposer Operation
Do:
- Run your garbage disposal regularly with cold water. Let cold water run for a few seconds after grinding is complete.
- See instructions on your specific model for what types of food you can grind.
- Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain smells.
Don't:
- Pour grease or fat down a disposer or any drain. It can build up in pipes and cause drain blockages.
- Use hot water when grinding food waste. It is ok to drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods.
- Turn off the motor or water until grinding is completed.
Installing an InSinkErator Hot Water Dispenser
InSinkErator instant hot water dispensers deliver near-boiling water right at the kitchen sink using an under-the-sink tank that heats the water to approximately 200° F. All InSinkErator hot water dispensers fit a standard 1.5-inch hole on the sink or the countertop, which makes them easy to install or replace.
Proper safety precautions should be followed when installing or replacing a hot water dispenser.
