GARBAGE DISPOSAL
- To clean the disposal, push ice cubes through it while running cold water.
- Always remember to run water during use and for at least two minutes after you finish. This
prevents stoppages.
- If the garbage disposal is leaking, check to make sure that the sink and drain connections are not
loose.
DISHWASHER
- If your dishes aren't cleaning well, run the hot water from the tap. This will allow hot water to flow
to the dishwasher immediately. Also check that the hot water setting is correct.
- Vinegar should take mineral deposits off the heating element which causes dishes to stay wet. Make
sure element is not hot when cleaning.
WATER HEATER
- If the water heater is not hot enough or is too hot, make sure your thermostat is set correctly. A
water heater blanket is helpful to keep the water temperature constant.
GAS RANGE
- IMPORTANT!!! If you smell gas around your oven, turn your gas off, air out the room and notify the
gas company immediately.
- If the flame on your cook isn't burning steadily, turn off the burners then clean the burner surface.
Afterwards, reset the burners.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- If any lights or outlets don't work, check your breakers at your electrical panel.
- If a breaker is not in the on position, turn the breaker off and then on. Or call First American if you
have a warranty already in effect.
