Insinkerator | How To Use

To understand how to use the InSinkErator, one must first understand what it is. It is not a trash compactor; it does not crush. It grinds. This distinction is vital. Inside the unit, a motor spins a flywheel at high velocity, flinging food waste against a stationary grind ring using centrifugal force. It is a mechanism of friction and momentum. Therefore, the first rule of usage is the rejection of the inorganic. The InSinkErator is a voracious consumer of the organic, but it is defenseless against the synthetic. To drop a bottle cap, a piece of glass, or a peach pit into its maw is to invite a mechanical seizure—a sudden, grinding halt that serves as a stark reminder that nature’s waste is soft, while man’s debris is often hard.

If the unit hums but doesn't spin, it’s likely jammed. Every InSinkErator comes with a "Jam-Buster" silver hex wrench. Insert this into the hole in the center of the bottom of the unit and turn it back and forth. This manually rotates the plate to break the jam without you having to stick your hand down the drain.
