Strain Relief  
For Models Not Equipped with a Cord:  
If your disposer does not come equipped with a  
cord, you can connect it in two ways:  
Nut  
1. Attach a power cord, minimum 18in length  
and not to exceed 36in length.

2. Wire the disposer directly into the house  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Operating instructions.  
This disposer uses anti-jam swivel impellers that make  
a clicking sound as they swing into place. This indicates  
normal operation.  
Continuous Feed Models  
A. Remove the sink stopper and turn on  
D. Before turning the disposer off,  
a medium flow of cold water.  
let the water and the disposer run  
for approximately 25 seconds after  
shredding stops. This assures that all  
waste is thoroughly flushed through  
the trap and drain.  
B. Turn the switch to ON.  
C. Scrape in food waste. To speed up food  
waste disposal, cut or break up large  
bones, rinds and cobs. Large bones and  
fibrous husks require considerable  
grinding time and are more easily  
E. Do not use hot water while running  
the disposer. Cold water will keep  
food waste and fats solid so they can  
be flushed down the drain.  
thrown away with other trash. Do not be  
alarmed that the disposer slows down  
while grinding. The disposer is actually  
increasing torque (grinding power) and  
is operating under normal conditions.  
Batch Feed Models  
A. Remove the sink stopper and turn on  
a medium flow of cold water.  
B. Scrape in food waste.  
C. Insert the stopper to start the disposer.  
One of the two small slots in the stopper  
base must line up with the switch  
plunger inside the neck of the disposer.  
NOTE: The oval shaped handle aligns with the  
2 small slots in the stopper.  
Oval  
Handle  
Push down firmly to start.  
D. Run the disposer for 25 seconds after  
shredding stops. This assures that all  
waste is thoroughly flushed through  
the trap and drain.  
Small  
Lift the stopper to shut the disposer off.  
E. To fill the sink, insert the stopper so that  
the largest slot lines up with the switch  
plunger. The stopper can now be  
pushed down to seal the sink without  
starting the disposer. When the  
medium-sized slot in the stopper base is  
lined up with the switch plunger, water  
can drain, but tableware, etc., cannot be  
accidentally dropped into the disposer.

Operating instructions.  
Helpful Hints  
A. Be sure the disposer is empty before  
using the dishwasher so it can drain  
properly.  
D. TO SPEED UP FOOD WASTE  
DISPOSAL... Cut or break up large  
bones, melon rinds, grapefruit skins and  
corn cobs. Items such as large bones,  
fibrous husks like lima bean pods and  
corn husks require considerable cutting  
time. For this reason, you may prefer to  
place them in the trash can or trash  
compactor.  
B. You may want to leave the stopper in the  
drain when not in use to prevent utensils  
and foreign objects from falling into the  
disposer.  
C. The disposer is ruggedly built to give you  
years and years of trouble-free service. It  
will handle all normal food wastes–BUT  
it will not grind and dispose such items as  
tin cans, bottles and bottle caps, glass,  
china, leather, cloth, crockery, rubber,  
string, feathers, or clam or oyster shells.  
These are waste materials and belong in  
the trash can or trash compactor.  
Care and maintenance.  
THE MOTOR IS PERMANENTLY LUBRICATED FOR LIFE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO  
LUBRICATE YOUR DISPOSER. The disposer is self cleaning and scours itself with  
each use.  
NEVER put lye or chemical cleaners into  
the disposer, as they cause serious  
corrosion of metal parts.  
Your disposer, except for the Batch Feed  
model, is equipped with a removable  
splash guard for ease of cleaning or  
replacement. Remove the splash guard  
by pulling it out from the top. To replace,  
insert into the sink flange and push down  
until it is properly seated.  
If an odor develops, run orange or lemon  
rinds through the disposer. A dozen ice  
cubes sprinkled with a little household  
scouring powder will also work.

Troubleshooting Tips  
Save time and money! Review the chart on this page first  
and you may not need to call for service.  
SAFETY NOTE: Before investigating, you must disconnect the power supply.  
WARNING!  
Before resetting, disconnect the power supply–please see SAFETY NOTE above. The overload control prevents  
the motor from operating should overloading occur. This feature protects your house wiring and your disposer.  
When overloaded, the motor will stop automatically.  
Problem  
Possible Causes  
What To Do  
Loud noises (other than  
those during grinding of  
bones and fruit pits)  
Silverware, bottle cap or other  
foreign object has fallen into the  
disposer.  
Remove the splash guard* and remove the object with  
long-handled tongs. Replace the splash guard*.  
Disposer does not start  
Reset button has been tripped.  
With the splash guard* removed, check to see if the  
turntable will move freely using a broom handle. If the  
turntable moves freely, replace the splash guard* and  
check the reset button to see if it has been tripped. The  
reset button is red and located opposite the discharge  
elbow, near the bottom of the disposer. Push the button  
in until it clicks and remains depressed. If the reset  
button has not been tripped, check for a shorted or  
broken wire connecting to the disposer. Check the  
electrical power switch, fuse box or circuit breaker.  
If wiring and electrical components are intact, the  
unit may have internal problems that require  
service or replacement.  
Reset  
Button  
Serial No.  
Turntable cannot rotate.  
If the turntable does not turn freely, check for an  
object lodged between the turntable and the grind  
ring. Dislodge the object by moving the turntable  
with a broom handle. Then remove the object.  
If no foreign object is present, there may be internal  
problems.  
Remove  
Splash Guard  
Turntable  
Disposer leaks  
If the leak is at the top, it may be  
caused by:  
1. Improper seating of sink flange  
(gasket choice, putty or tightening).  
2. Support ring not tightened properly.  
3. Defective cushion mount.  
If the leak is at the discharge elbow, leak  
may be caused by improper tightening  
of elbow flange screws.  
*Batch Feed does not include splash guard.
