Rješavanje problema
Uobičajeni problemi
- Nepravilno pristajanje: Ensure the baffle is correctly seated in the disposal's groove. This baffle is specifically designed for InSinkErator EVOLUTION Series disposals. It is NE meant for Badger disposals. Attempting to use it with an incompatible model will result in an improper fit and poor performance.
- Istrošenost: Over time, the rubber material of the baffle may show signs of wear, such as tearing or becoming less flexible. This is normal with prolonged use, especially with exposure to hot water and food waste. If significant wear is observed, replacement is recommended to maintain optimal noise reduction and splash guard functionality.
- Odor Buildup: While the baffle has antimicrobial properties, food particles can still accumulate. If odors persist, remove and clean the baffle thoroughly. Consider also cleaning the disposal unit itself according to manufacturer guidelines.
