Connect Disposer to Electrical Supply/Ground Disposer
Follow these instructions to direct wire the disposer.
1. Remove electrical cover plate from bottom of disposer and pull out
black and white wires (see Figure 9-1). DO NOT REMOVE CARD-
BOARD INSULATION SHIELD.
2. Run electrical cable through access hole (A) on bottom of disposer (with
1/2 inch [1.3 cm] conduit or 3/8 inch [0.9 cm] flex) and secure with
clamp connector.
3. Strip wires back approximately 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Connect white (neu-
tral) electrical wire to white disposer wire, and black (hot) electrical wire
to black disposer wire (may have colored stripe) with wire nuts (see Fig-
ure 9-1). Insulate wire connections with electrical tape, and push con-
nections into disposer housing without displacing cardboard insulation
shield. Do not reinstall electrical plate until disposer is properly
grounded.
Once the circuit you are using is grounded at the service panel, attach the
ground wire to the green ground screw (B) in the electrical cover plate
opening and secure the electrical plate (C) (see Figure 9-1).
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.
*Install a standard wire clamp (not supplied) into
the opening on the bottom of the disposer
*
WARNING
Electric Shock
•Disconnect electrical power at fuse box
or circuit breaker before installing or
servicing disposer. Failure to do so can
result in death or electrical shock.
CONNECT DISPOSER TO MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
10
Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting the disposer.
1. Position disposer with three mounting tabs (A) aligned in position to slide over
mounting tracks (B) (see Figure 10-1).
2. Lift disposer, insert top end (mounting gasket) into mounting assembly, and turn
lower mounting ring to right (with wrenchette or screwdriver) until mounting tabs
lock over ridges (C) on mounting ring tracks (see Figure 10-2). (MAKE SURE ALL
THREE MOUNTING TABS ARE LOCKED OVER RIDGES.) Disposer will now hang
by itself.
CAUTION
Personal Injury
Do not position your head or body under disposer; unit could fall during installa-
tion.
ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN
11
CONNECT DISHWASHER DRAIN (IF APPLICABLE)
12
One-Bolt Discharge Tube Installation
1. Slide metal flange (A) over discharge tube (B) (see Figure 11-1).
2. Rubber gasket (C) must be installed on top end of discharge tube. Secure metal flange and
Discharge tube to disposer with bolt (D).
3. Rotate disposer so that discharge tube is aligned with drain trap. (To prevent leaks, do not pull
or bend discharge tube to drain trap.) If discharge tube is too long, cut off as much of tube as
necessary with hacksaw (make sure cut is straight and clean.) If discharge tube is too short, you
can purchase an extension from a hardware store. (Disposer must remain in vertical position to
prevent vibration.)
4. Place P-trap nut, then beveled washer (not supplied) on bottom of discharge tube and tighten
on drain trap. (If you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides.)
5. Ensure lower mounting ring is securely locked over mounting flange ridges.
Although the supplied discharge tube is preferred, a straight discharge may be used. Slide metal
flange over straight discharge tube (not supplied), install rubber gasket onto discharge tube, and
secure metal flange and straight discharge tube to disposer with one bolt (see Figure 11-2).
In some areas, codes require that the dishwasher be connected to the disposer
through an air gap (A). (See Figure 12-1) (An air gap prevents waste water backflow
and/or dishwasher contamination.) Ensure knockout plug is removed (see Instruction 8).
Plumbing connections must comply with local plumbing codes.
•If you have a 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) ID diameter dishwasher drain hose, use a hose clamp
to attach the drain hose to the dishwasher inlet. (Verify that hose you are using is
rated for dishwasher use.)
•If you have already attached a dishwasher drain connector to your dishwasher drain
hose (for drain hose other than 7/8 inch [2.2 cm] ID diameter), use a hose clamp to at-
tach the drain hose/connector to the dishwasher inlet on the disposer.

The disposer installation is complete. Using the stopper, fill the sink with water. Remove the stopper, turn disposer on,
and check under sink for leaks. Read ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating the disposer.

CAUTION
Property Damage
