Water and food splash back out of the sink opening when disposal runs

Safety first: Turn OFF the disposal before touching the sink opening.

• Inspect splash guard: Check if the rubber splash guard/baffle is installed in the sink flange. If it is torn, stiff, or missing, replace it with a compatible Everbilt splash guard.
• Install correctly: Press the new baffle firmly into the sink flange until it seats evenly all around.
• Adjust usage: Reduce water flow slightly and feed food waste gradually to minimize splash.
• Do not operate without baffle: Running the disposal without a splash guard increases risk of injury and mess.
