 1. WHY DO PEOPLE BUY AND USE FOOD WASTE DISPOSERS?
Consumers buy and use food waste disposers for three main reason s:


 2. WHY SHOULD I BUY A WASTEMAID DISPOSER?
Our disposers use the latest technology including permanent magnet motors that provide high torque and faster grinding to prevent jams. We also utilize corrosion-proof materials to prevent rust and extend the life of the product.

 3. HOW DOES THE WASTEMAID DISPOSER WORK?
All models work by simply and safely grinding food waste material into very fine particles, which are then flushed through the waste pipes without harm. Since WasteMaid disposers use no blades or knives, they are very safe to operate.

 4. ARE WASTEMAID DISPOSERS EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL?
Through the use of our Speed Master mounting system, WasteMaid Disposers are inexpensive and simple to install. No putty, glues or special tools are necessary.

 5. WILL IT FIT IN A NORMAL SINK?
WasteMaid disposers are designed to fit sinks with a 90mm sink hole. If the sink hole is not this size, it is a simple matter to connect your disposer by use of one of the following methods:

1.   Stainless steel , ceramic or marble sink holes can be enlarged by using  either a hole punch tool or a hole saw.
2.   Thin Stainless steel sinks (2-3mm) can be fitted with a 60mm adapter that   is available to replace the current mounting assembly on the WasteMaid disposer. 

6. IS THE WASTEMAID DISPOSER DIFFICULT TO USE?
No, waste disposal with the WasteMaid disposer is quite simple. Four easy steps are all that is needed:

1.   Turn on the Water.
2.   Switch on the WasteMaid disposer.
3.   Scrape the food waste into the disposer.
4.   Let the water and the disposer run for 25 seconds after the waste is  
     gone and then turn off the water and the disposer

7. IS THE WASTEMAID DISPOSER NOISY?
None of the models are noisy, but the degree of sound insulation improves with the model range. The Heavy Duty and Deluxe models are exceptionally quiet due to their full sound shell insulation. All of our disposers feature the exclusive Torque Master Grinding System with its balanced turntable and armature help keep noise and vibration to a minimum.

8. WHAT IF MY WASTE DISPOSER JAMS?
This is a problem mostly experienced with our competitor's products. They use induction motors which are slow starting and could jam if food is placed in the disposer before it is switched ON. WasteMaid disposers are designed not to jam by using permanent magnet motors. This motor produces high torque (twisting power) immediately when switched on. This feature prevents jams.

In the unlikely event that an WasteMaid disposer jams, dejamming is very simple. Turn off the switch to the disposer, check for foreign objects, dislodge the object by rotating the turntable with a long screwdriver or broom handle and remove the object.

9. WITH ALL OF THE WATER ACTING ON THE METAL PARTS, WILL IT RUST?
No, because WasteMaid disposers are constructed from stainless steel (grinding components) and thermoplastic materials (grinding chamber). All models are covered by a lifetime corrosion warranty.

10. DO FOOD WASTE DISPOSERS CREATE AN UNPLEASANT ODOR?
Some waste disposers smell because food accumulate s under the Splashguard, allowing bacteria from food particles to grow and generate odors. This cannot be cleaned with our competitor's units without removing and dismantling their disposer from the sink. All WasteMaid disposer models have a Splashguard that is easily removed from the top of the sink for cleaning or replacing. Food odors are eliminated if this is done regularly. We also are the only disposer with Bio-Shield antimicrobial for odor protection. Our other products, including Mr. Scrappy Disposer Care and Disposer Brush can be used for effective odor prevention (Mr. Scrappy Disposer Accessories).

11. WILL THE MOTOR WEAR OUT?
All motors have the capacity to wear out eventually. How quickly depends on the stress or the load placed on the motor. The WasteMaid disposer models are designed to be long lasting. The durability and performance increases through the model range. The Heavy Duty and Deluxe models have slightly bigger motors which generate more torque and cutting power. This puts less stress on the motor, giving the WasteMaid disposer longer life.

The use of permanent magnet motors in WasteMaid disposers is vital. The nature of the motor is that it increases torque as the load increases. This not only means top performance when a full load of food waste is being ground, but also prevents jams from occurring frequently.

12. ARE WASTEMAID DISPOSERS SAFE TO USE?
Yes, because they contain no knives or blades they use centrifugal force generated by the turntable to hurl the food waste against the grinding ring, shredding it into fine pieces. 

13.  WHAT KINDS OF WASTE CAN I PUT IN MY DISPOSER?
The WasteMaid disposer will take most types of food waste, including:

Tea Bags

Vegetable Scraps

Chicken Bones/Small Bones

Grapefruit Halves

Fish Heads

Melon Rinds

Fish Bones

Nut Shells

Egg Shells

Coffee Grounds

Corn Cobs

Fruit Scraps

Fruit Pits

Tea Leaves
