In case of a clog or malfunction, turning off the disposal and disconnecting the power is advisable. Never put your hand or any objects inside the disposal. You can use a disposal wrench or an Allen wrench to manually rotate the blades and dislodge any obstructions. If the problem persists, it's recommended to contact a professional. Remember that cleaning garbage disposal regularly is essential to maintain its performance and prevent unpleasant odors in your kitchen.
