then push the reset button again on the bottom of the disposal.
Tip: Ice cubes can be put in the disposal for routine cleaning to your garbage disposal, sharpening the
blades, and breaking up any grease build-up which can accumulate over time. Regularly toss a few ice
cubes into the garbage disposal and run it. Try this once or twice a month to keep your garbage disposal
maintained.
