Manual Error? Baffle Removable?

Very confusing ordering processs
The product is excellent. Ordering the product is not. I ordered the product and specified delivery. As I was completing checkout, the website encouraged me to include a new gasket seal, which I did. The product was delivered as specified. The gasket seal was put in a locker at the store for pickup. I was not able to cancel the gasket seal order. Picking up the gasket at the store would entail a $100 uber ride. Makes no sense to me.

Stops working occasionally
Would Not RecommendThis one is installed in a sink that is used less than the main sink and therefore the garbage disposal isn't used that much. All the time it stops working and needs to be turned manually in order to be functional again
