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. Use GE Part Number PM3X215.

or

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.
