Please...t/y

This from Waste King's owner's guide:
" It is not recommended to use hot water while
running disposer. Cold water will keep waste and
fats solid so disposer can flush away particles."

The Insinkerator I installed moons ago warned about overheating the
motor. The motor *is* cooled by the water.

Did the manual say that the motor was cooled by the water, or are you just
guessing.

Did the manual, in fact, say, "always run cool water so the motor won't
overheat," or something similar.

Point is, my table saw motor will get hot, but the manual says nothing about
water - hot OR cold - having any bearing on the motor's temperature.
