panel until proper grounds are installed.

Disposer Circuit Requirements

w

-Remove fuse (or open the circuit breaker) before connecting d_sposer to circuit.

???Batch feed disposers do not require a separate wall switch - switch is built into disposer and disposer is wired directly into circuit.

oIf junction box is used, connect the junction box to the switch on a separate 15 or 20 Amp, 115 Volt c_rcuit with the appropri- ate cable. (Use 14 gauge wire with 15 Amp circuit, and 12 gauge wire with 20 Amp circuit).

??If you install a double receptacle to handle other small kitchen appliances, include a wall switch in disposer receptacle c_rcuit and wire other receptacle directly to power source.

??This d_sposer requires a switch with a marked "Off" position (wired to disconnect all ungrounded supply conductors)

installed within sight of the disposer sink opening (1 HP mini- mum rating).

Connect Disposer to Electrical Supply/Ground Disposer

Follow these instructions to direct wire the disposer. (if adding a cord and plug, follow the directions included with the cord and plug).

1Remove electrical cover plate from bottom of disposer and pull out black and white wires (see Figure 9-1). DO NOT REMOVE CARDBOARD INSULATION SHIELD.

2Run electrical cable through access hole (A) on bo[tom ot cihsposer/w_[n 1/2"

conduit or 3/8" flex) and secure with clamp connector.

3.Strip wTres back approximately 1/2 inch. Connect white (neutral)

electrical wire to white disposer wire, and black (hot) electrical wire to black disposer wire (may have colored stripe) with wire nuts (see Figure 9-1). Insulate wire connections with electrical tape, and push connections into disposer housing without displacing cardboard insulation shield. Do not reinstall electrical plate until disposer is properly grourded.

Once the circuit you are using is grounded at the service panel, attach the ground

wire to the green ground screw (B) in the electrical cover plate opening and secure the electrical plate (C) (see FEgure9-1).

Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and ice A scour- mg action is created by the par- tEcles reside the grind chamber. Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain smells

Use a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodorizer as necessary to relieve objectionable odors caused by grease build-up.

DON'T...

oDon'tpour grease or fat down your disposer or any drain. It can build up in pipes and cause drain

blockages. Put grease in a jar or can and dispose in the trash.

oDon'tuse hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods.

oDon'tfill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels m gradually.

oDon'tgrind extremely fibrous matenals like corn husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid possible drain blockage.

,,Don'tturn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of motor and water is heard.

oDon'tbe alarmed if a brown discoloration appears on the face of the grinding d_sc. This _snormal It is surface discoloration only and will not affect the life or performance of the d_sposer.
