HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY (cont.)

If you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician.

The power cord and/or connections must comply with the National Electrical Code, Section 422 and/or local codes and ordinances.

For Models Not Equipped with a Cord:

If your disposer does not come equipped with a cord, you can connect it in two ways:

1.Attach a power cord, minimum 18″ in length and not to exceed 36″ in length. GE Kit #PM3X115 provides the parts needed to make this connection.

or

2.Wire the disposer directly into the house current.

GE recommends that a qualified electrician make this connection.

To Attach a Power Cord:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The power cord (to be installed) must have an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

In the absence of local codes and/or ordinances, the outlet must comply with NEC requirements.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

NOTE: Disconnect electric power to disposer circuit before installation. Turn the circuit breaker to the OFF position or remove the fuse.

A. Connect the disposer to 110–120 Volt, 60 Hz AC current only.

B. If a plug-in cord is used, use a three-prong plug. Ground wire should be attached to the ground screw in the bottom of the disposer (end bell).

GE recommends that a qualified electrician make this connection.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

A.If you use BX cable:

1.Install the cable connector in the hole.

2.Connect white wire to white lead of disposer.

3.Connect black wire.

4.Connect bare ground wire.

If BX cable is not used, provide a separate ground wire to the nearest grounded connection, using the screw in the end bell for the ground wire.

B. If your power supply does not include a ground wire, you must provide one unless metal cable is used. Attach a copper wire securely to disposer ground screw and attach other end of wire to the nearest grounded connection. Use only UL approved ground clamp. If plastic pipe is used in your home, a qualified electrician should install a proper ground. Most houses have electrical outlets under the sink that are half- hot. This means one outlet is controlled by the wall switch, while the other is always hot. The batch-feed or “TC” model connects to the hot side, while the continuous feed model connects to the switch side.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
