Safety first: Turn off the unit and allow it to cool before touching.

Limit run time: Use the Reginox disposal in short bursts rather than continuous operation.
Improve ventilation: Clear stored items away from around the disposal to allow air circulation through the housing vents.
Check for jams: Ensure the grinding mechanism turns freely using the bottom hex socket.
Monitor behavior: If the unit overheats quickly and trips the reset frequently, internal motor wear is likely and replacement should be planned.

Garbage disposal is unusually hot to the touch after short periods of use.
