Operating Instructions/Aqua-Saver Adjustment

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO START

1.Check to ensure disposer is free of foreign objects.

2.Ensure power is on.

3.Push start button. Disposer motor will run and water will flow into the disposer.

4.Water flow will decrease to 1 GPM approximately 30 seconds after intitial start-up if no load is present in disposer.

TO STOP

1.Push stop button. Disposer motor and water will stop.

2.Water may continue to flow into disposer for up to 10 minutes, per the time set on the water shutoff delay timer.

NOTE: This post-flush clears the drain lines of food waste.

PERSONAL INJURY

To adjust the water shutoff delay, disconnect the electrical power to the control panel and open the control center door.

WATER SHUTOFF DELAY ADJUSTMENT

Locate the water shutoff delay at the top of the printed circuit board in the AS-101K (See Figure 8). Set the dip switches for the desired water shut off delay. Use the guide printed on the circuit board to set minutes of delay. The dip switches should be moved to match the filled-in areas of the guide.

Figure 8.

Example 1: Dip switches 1, 2, 3, 4 pushed to the down position will give a 0 minute delay.

Example 2: Dip switches 1, 3, 4 pushed to the up position; and dip switch 2 pushed to the down position will give a 10 minute delay.

AUTOMATIC TIMED DISPOSER SHUTOFF

This water saving feature allows the disposer to run for up to 10 minutes before it automatically shuts off and must be manually restarted.

NOTE: This feature is set in the manual position at the factory. To activate the automatic timed disposer shut-off, disconnect the electric power to the control center, then open the control center door. Locate the Dip Switch Module at the top of the printed circuit board (see Figure 8). Move the #5 dip switch from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC. The disposer now automatically shuts off 10 minutes after it starts.

AQUA-SAVER ADJUSTMENT

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

•Turn off the electrical supply to the disposer before attempting any work on it. Use a voltmeter or circuit tester to ensure that power is off.

•Installation must conform to local plumbing and electrical codes.

•All control centers and disposers must be carefully and permanently grounded.

•A properly fused disconnect must be installed at the electrical supply source for the control center.

CURRENT SENSING CONTROL SET-UP

See Figure 9.

1.Adjust the trip delay to mid-setting. This adjusts the length of the time the water runs at full flow after grinding is completed. Mid-setting is approximately 15 seconds.

2.With the disposer running at high water flow:

a.Adjust the trip point control to maximum position, the light is not illuminated.

b.Turn the trip point control counterclockwise until the red fault light is illuminated, stop.

c.Turn the trip point control clockwise slowly, stopping immediately when the red fault light is no longer illuminated. Turn slightly counterclockwise incrementally with the light remaining off to assure you are at the exact set point. To ensure sensitivity, the trip point must be set at the exact point the light becomes no longer illuminated.

NOTE: Water flow will decrease after trip delay time setting expires.
