Disposal will not accept food easily; opening seems too tight and food sits on top of the splash guard.

Safety First: Turn OFF power before adjusting or replacing the splash guard.

• Step 1 – Clean guard slits: Lift the splash guard slightly and rinse away any debris. Use a brush to clean the underside.
• Step 2 – Flex the guard: For new AmazonCommercial guards, manually flex the rubber flaps several times to soften them.
• Step 3 – Verify correct part: Ensure the splash guard is the correct size and model for your disposal; an undersized guard can overly restrict the opening.
• Step 4 – Replace if necessary: Install a compatible guard with properly sized slots to allow food to pass while still containing splashes.
