Does anyone know if you are supposed to remove the interior rubber baffle (that normally stops some items from entering) while using this?

No, you just place the stopper, as it is, in the drain and water will run through it. You can also run your garbage disposal while this is in place but make sure to run the water. I often use the scrapper on the bottom to scrape off debris from my dishes or food scraps in the sink into the disposal.

Leave the baffle in place. The stopper allows water to run past, but it keeps things from falling down like silverware.

Piece stays in works great. No silverware in the disposal. Garbage goes down great

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

The black rubber baffle is part of your disposal. Those can be purchased for $5 at Lowe's and are specific to your disposal.

That is not normal. Mine stays tightly latched to the back while not in use. I can hear it "click" when I push it back in.

Hi Lara, it's the portruded part of the item at the front. It clicks in and out. And I must say it keeps the kitchen tidy when counter space is a challenge

It's possible, and has happened to me if I accidentally get food in the grooves. However, removing the gasket with a spoon and hand washing takes care of the problem.

Mine did - pretty sure that's just so it doesn't slide open. What could be faulty??

funny i just noticed that last week, yes it rattles or sounds like there is something loose in there, but it does not affect performance at all, actually i think it maybe the ios mechanism inside.

Mine is stuck to the plastic "wood" panel above my radio. Been there for 3 or 4 months. And I tug on it every time I squeeze the clip to put my phone in. I will say that it took me several attempts to get it seating properly at first. I don't know if it was dust that interfered or maybe the mechanics of how I navigated the curve of the surface. But the effort was well worth it.

I have the same experience that you do. It is the tab on the side that keeps it locked in. My hood release is on the same side as the tab, so it makes it very difficult to remove. I have to wiggle a screwdriver in between to try to push the tab. Ugh...

It comes with the rubber insert. I guess you could remove the rubber insert if you don't want to use it.

I don't recall anything moving in mine. Look through the slots and see what it is. Are you shaking it or just moving it around to hear the sound?

No There is a built-in stopper that keeps the drawer from opening too far and (maybe) falling out. You have to manually release it before you can take the drawer all the way out.

You can use the rubber baffle. We always do. You can also use the strainer portion on this disposal on top and seal off water with the lid that comes with it. FYI - because this is deeper, the disposal will be a bit lower than if you use the cheesy plastic flange that come with the Evolution.

honestly I don't know I'm reluctant to open case, I've kind of gotten used to it and I don't hear it anymore. but I'm sure if you locate the noisemaker in it you can probably disconnect it.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

Weird... Mine was not so hard. I just removed the rubber external frame first, then open front and rear parts with a little pressure.Sorry can't help you with more to say.Any way, these cases are a strong ones, so... Don't be scared to use a little more pressure than you first thought.
