FAQs
Can I put bones in the Rangemaster 800?
Yes, it is designed for heavy-duty use, but you should stick to soft bones; avoid large or extremely hard marrow bones.
Is this unit compatible with my existing kitchen sink?
It is designed to fit most standard sink openings, but please verify your sink's material strength due to the unit's heavy-duty weight.
How do I clean the disposal safely?
Grind ice cubes mixed with rock salt or lemon peels to naturally clean the grinding chamber without using chemicals.
Should I use hot or cold water?
Always use cold water while the disposal is running to help congeal fats and move them through the pipes more efficiently.
What is the difference between this and the 700/750 models?
The 800 series is built for higher volume heavy-duty usage compared to the mid-duty or standard models, featuring a more robust motor for larger households.
Troubleshooting
Unit hums but does not grind
The flywheel may be jammed. Turn off the power and use a wooden object to dislodge any obstructions from the sink opening.
Water leaking from the bottom of the unit
Check the mounting flange and the dishwasher inlet connection for loose bolts or damaged seals.
Unit does not turn on at all
Press the reset button on the bottom of the unit and ensure the wall switch or air switch is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the WDU800/-DS involves securing the mounting flange to your sink basin and connecting the discharge pipe to the existing plumbing system. Due to its heavy-duty nature, it is highly recommended to have a professional plumber verify that your sink basin can support the unit's weight. To care for your unit, avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, as these can corrode the internal grinding components. Instead, periodically grind a small amount of ice cubes or citrus peels to clean the chamber and sharpen the cutting surfaces. Always ensure the power supply is isolated when inspecting the grinding chamber for any stuck items.
