No grease, or hard objects like bones or avocado pits. pretty much any other food waste can go in. egg shells are usually ok, and most leftovers. avoid stringy vegetables.
Also, get in the habit of turning it on when dumping out pots, or releasing a sink-full of water- this will chop up any food bits and help the water drain faster- also run water when putting stuff in there.
NEVER put your hand in there, if it gets stuck, there's usually a place where you can insert an allen key in the bottom and free the motor up.

you have have been given 2 issues. A plugged line and a broken rubbish disposal. Unplug the rubbish disposal under the sink. Now be sure you are able to freely pass the teeth on the rubbish disposal. it won't pass if something is jammed in there, removing the rubber thingy interior the drain facilitates to work out greater desirable. i think of on the disposal itself there's a re-set button, you are able to press this and plug it back in and notice what happens. it could have burned up after being jammed, wherein case you like a clean one. setting up one isn't genuine perplexing, yet nonetheless a undertaking. If the dishwasher won't drain and the rubbish disposa area won't the two you have a clog someplace. Do you have a clean-out drain? it could be outdoors close to the kitchen outdoors partitions . it can be a three or 4 ": pipe with a cap on it and a sq. factor to place a wrench on it. turn it counter clockwise and do away with it. word that it could gush in spite of is in there out. If the water is status in there you ought to placed a snake down there and relax the clog. If this clean-out has no longer something in it then your clog is someplace between the disposal, the dishwasher and the cleanout. you additionally can attempt and placed the snake interior the already draining area i'm hoping this facilitates.

Bones, apple cores, grease (which you're not supposed to pour down drain either), corn cobs, etc. Generally anything that may be prone to clog up or damage the blades of the disposal should not be put down it.

Bones. Meats and fats: they get rancid. Fibrous veggies: celery stalks, corn stalks. Run water before, during and after you grind up food leftovers; it will keep the disposer from getting clogged.

utensils, your hand
Throw a lemon in there once in a while to keep it smelling fresh, though!
