Dehumidifier and Garbage Disposal Tips

To prevent a dehumidifier from icing up, it is recommended to place the unit on a rug, or elevate it off the floor.  Having the unit on a cold floor can cause colder air temperatures to resonate through the unit and cause the coils to ice up.

Room temperatures less than 60 degrees and with less than 50% humidity levels can cause dehumidifiers to freeze up also. If this happens, unplug the unit for 30 minutes. This will allow the coils to thaw out.

GARBAGE DISPOSALS:

To keep your garbage disposal blades sharp and in shape, simply put a handful of icecubes through the disposal once a week.  To eliminate unpleasant odors, run lemon peels through the disposal once a week.

If your disposal locks up and is making a humming noise:  first, try the reset button located near the bottom of the unit.  If that doesn’t fix the problem, attempt to turn the break away nut with the 5/16ths allen wrench that came with the dispoal.  By turning the nut, the blades should free up.

**Always unplug or shut off power to the garbage disposal before attempting to dislodge the blades.**
