There's an Odor Coming From Garbage Disposal

IMPORTANT

• Over time, food particles may accumulate in the grind chamber and baffle. Do not stick your hand in the garbage disposal at any time.

1. Turn off power.
   Turn off the garbage disposal and disconnect the power supply.
2. Clean the baffle.
   Reach through the sink opening and clean the underside of the baffle and inside the upper lip of the grind chamber with a scouring pad.
3. Fill the sink with water.
   Place the stopper in the sink opening and fill the sink halfway with warm water.
4. Mix baking soda and water.
   Mix 1/4 cup of baking soda with water in the sink. Turn on the garbage disposal and remove the stopper from the sink at the same time to wash away loose particles.

Tips for Success

• Run garbage disposal along with a moderate flow of cold water. Continue to run cold water for a few seconds after grinding is complete.
• Avoid using hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the garbage disposal between grinding periods.
• Never pour grease or fat into your garbage disposal or drain.
• Consider one of our LEDefense units - LEDefense technology kills 99% of odor-causing bacteria, combating the smell that comes from bacteria forming as a result of food waste in your sink.
