Electric Shock

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. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•This disposer must be properly grounded.

•Do not attach ground wire to gas supply pipe.

•Disconnect power before installing or servicing disposer.

•If three-prong grounded plug is used, plug must be inserted into three-hole grounded receptacle.

•All wiring must comply with local electrical codes.

•Do not reconnect electrical current at main service panel until proper grounds are installed.

DO’S & DON’T’S

DO...

•First turn on a moderate to strong flow of cold water and then turn on the disposer. Continue running cold water for a few seconds after grind- ing is completed to flush the drain line.

•Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and ice. A scouring action is created by the particles inside 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...

•Don't pour 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.

•Don't use hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods.

•Don't fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels in gradually.

•Don't grind large amounts of egg shells or fibrous materials like corn husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid possible drain blockage.

•Don't turn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of motor and water is heard.
