Disposal runs but there is a persistent foul odor from the sink opening

Safety first: Turn OFF the Evergrind unit before cleaning.

• Clean splash baffle: Remove the Evergrind rubber baffle and scrub both sides with hot, soapy water and a brush. Rinse and reinstall.
• Deodorize chamber: Pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar into the Evergrind chamber. Let it foam for 10–15 minutes, then flush with hot water while briefly running the unit.
• Ice and citrus: Grind a tray of ice cubes with small citrus peels (lemon/orange) to help clean the shredder ring.
• Clean P-trap: If odor persists, remove and clean the P-trap and horizontal drain line below the Evergrind unit.
