Installation

1.Attach a power cord, minimum 18″ in length and not to exceed 36″ in length.

2.Wire the disposer directly into the house current.

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.

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.

To Wire Your Disposer Directly into the House Current:

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.

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 nearest reliable ground, 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 a reliable ground. Use only UL approved ground clamp. If plastic pipe is used in your home, a qualified electrician should install a proper ground.
