CLEANING & CARE
10. Cleaning & care
The disposer does not require any servicing and is virtually self-cleaning. However, food
waste may accumulate in the grinding chamber and rubber protective collar over time. This
may cause odours, which means the rubber collar and/or grinding chamber need(s) to be
cleaned. There are several ways of cleaning the disposer and counteract odours:
a. Quick, easy cleaning:
Run hot water frequently through the disposer between the individual grinding
processes. If necessary, you can add a little dish-washing detergent to the hot water.
You should not operate the shredder for a long period time when doing so; otherwise,
it might overheat and the disposer will switch off automatically.
b. Giving the grinding chamber a quick clean:
Throw ice cubes into the grinding chamber and switch the disposer on. The ice cubes
will be shredded and clean the grinding chamber quickly and effectively without much
effort and without causing any damage.
c. Giving the grinding chamber an intensive clean:
Fill the disposer grinding chamber with pieces of lemon, lime or orange along with the
ice cubes and switch on the disposer briefly so that the ice cubes and citrus fruit are
shredded together a little. The ice cubes clean the grinding chamber and the citric acid
removes the bad odour and reduces lime scale. Leave the partially shredded matter in
the disposer for around 30 min. before you use the disposer again. This allows the citric
acid to take effect.
d. Cleaning the splash guard (2) and grinding chamber by hand:
Disconnect from the power supply by removing the plug from the socket outlet.
Carefully pull the rubber collar from the sink opening and clean the rubber collar
and the grinding chamber with an item such as a brush. Then put the rubber collar
back into the sink opening and close it. Fill the sink half full with warm water. You
can either add a few drops of washing-up liquid or dissolve a teaspoon of baking
soda (sodium bicarbonate) in the water. Reconnect the power supply and switch
on the disposer. Now remove the plug from the sink. The warm water will clean and
purge the grinding chamber.

Unusual noises
Foreign objects in the grinding chamber
Particular types of kitchen waste can make unusual or loud noises when
being shredded. The harder the waste, the louder the disposer is.
A foreign object stuck in the grinding chamber may also be the cause.
Remove the object as described in the Cleaning & care chapter.
Wear
Intensive use of the disposer may cause wear in the grinding parts, motor
shaft bearings or other product parts. Contact BLANCO Customer Service
(see Section 1. a for contact details) or your contractual partner/specialist
retailer.
