This disposer must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock in the event of a malfunction or breakdown.
Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current. This disposer is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING 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 disposer is properly
grounded. If the plug provided with the disposer does not fit the outlet, do not modify it.

Removal of Old Unit
Before starting this step, turn off electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. If your old mount is the
same as the mount on your new disposer, just reverse the assembly instructions found in section 3. If your
new mount system is different, follow these instructions:
A. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches to disposer discharge tube
(see 1A).
B. Remove disposer from sink flange by turning mounting ring to the left clockwise (see 1B). If you
are unable to turn the mounting ring, tap on one of the extensions from the ring with a hammer.
Some mounting systems have tubular extensions. Inserting a screwdriver into one tube will
provide additional leverage for turning the mount ring (see 1B). Some disposers may require
the removal or loosening of nuts from the mounting screws (see 1C). Some disposers may
require the removal of a clamp.
CAUTION: Be sure to support the disposer while performing this step or it may fall when the
mounting ring is disconnected from the mounting assembly. If your disposer is hard wired
(metal shielded cable not utilizing a wall plug), complete steps C and D. If you utilize a plug-in
cord, go on to step E.
C. When disposer is removed, turn up side down and remove electrical cover plate (see 1D).
D. Use screwdriver to remove green ground wire. Remove wire nuts from black and white
power wires and separate disposer wires from power cable wires. Loosen screws on cable
clamp and separate cable from disposer.
E. To remove remaining mount system from the sink, loosen mount screws, push mount ring
up. Under it is the snap ring. Use screwdriver to pop off ring (see 1E). Remove mount ring,
protector ring and gasket from sink flange. Some mounts will require the unscrewing of a
large ring holding the sink flange in place. Pull sink flange up through sink and clean off old
putty from sink.
IMPORTANT: Unless you have a new home, this is a good time to clean out the trap and drain lines by
running a drain auger or plumber’s snake before installing your new disposer.

READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts, as they have been correctly assembled
by the factory. Also, reference the cushion mount detail in illustration 3D below for the proper orientation of
the cushion mount.
NOTE: Try practicing this assembly before you get under the sink to get the “feel” of how the parts fit
together.
A. Disassemble mount assembly from disposer by turning mounting ring (KPGDMR01) to the left
(counterclockwise) and remove.
B. Raise mounting ring (KPGDMR01) toward top of sink flange (KPGDSF01). Remove mounting seal
ring. Remove mounting ring. You may want to practice installing the mounting seal ring at this point
before you are under the sink. See paragraph H. Also see the “Important Notice: Mounting Seal Ring
Detail.”
C. Unscrew mounting nut from sink flange (KPGDSF01) and remove fiber washer (KPGDFW01). You
are now left with sink flange and rubber washer (KPGDRW01).
D. The rubber washer (KPGDRW01) is used instead of plumbers putty with stainless steel sinks. Other
sinks will require putty.
E. If no putty is used, insert sink flange (KPGDSF01) through rubber washer (KPGDRW01) into sink
opening. Do not rotate sink flange once it is seated.
F. If you use putty instead of the washer, form a ring around underside of sink flange. Insert flange
into sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out excess putty. From under sink, trim off excess
putty flush with bottom edge of sink opening.
G. From underneath sink, slip fiber washer (KPGDFW01) onto exposed sink flange (KPGDSF01) (see
3A). With arrows pointing up, insert backup flange (KPGDBF01) and mounting ring (KPGDMR01)
onto the sink flange (see 3B). Install the snap ring (KPGDSR01) onto the sink flange (see 3C). Hand
tighten the screws until the sink flange will not move. Tighten mounting screws with the included hex
wrench (KPGDHW01) (see 3D). At this point you may want to insert stopper (KPGDDS01) in sink
and fill with water to check sink flange seal and insure there are no leaks.
H. Place mounting ring (KPGDMR01) over sink flange (KPGDSF01) and hold in place while installing
mounting seal ring (large side down) so the groove on the inside of mounting seal ring fits over lip on
sink flange, similar to putting the lid on a plastic container (see 3B, 3C & 3D). Please read important
notice below.
Important Notice: Mounting Seal Ring Detail
When the mounting seal ring is installed correctly, the lip of the sink flange (KPGDSF01) fits into the
groove on the inside of the mounting seal ring and mounting ring can be pulled downward over mounting
seal ring and will be free to rotate. The bottom bead of the mounting seal ring acts as a gasket between
the bottom of the sink flange and the top of the disposer. See illustration 3D.

Operating Instructions
The Anti-Jam Swivel Impellers make a clicking sound as they swing into place. This indicates normal
operation.
A. Remove sink stopper (KPGDDS01). Turn on a medium flow of cold water and check for leaks.
B. Turn switch to ON position; your motor is turning at full speed and ready to use.
C. Scrape in food waste. Down the drain go table scraps, peelings, rinds, seeds, pits, small bones and
coffee grounds. 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 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.
D. Before turning disposer off, let water and disposer run for approximately 15 seconds after
shredding stops. This assures that all waste is thoroughly flushed through trap and drain.
E. It is not recommended to use hot water while running disposer. Cold water will keep waste and
fats solid so disposer can flush away particles.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
A. Be sure disposer is empty before using your dishwasher so it may drain properly.
B. You may want to leave the stopper (KPGDDS01) in the drain when not in use to prevent utensils and
foreign objects from falling into the disposer.
C. Your disposer is ruggedly built to give you many years of trouble free service. It will handle all
normal food wastes, but it will NOT grind or dispose of such items as plastic, tin cans, bottle caps,
glass, china, leather, cloth, rubber, string, clam and oyster shells, aluminum foil or feathers.

Troubleshooting
Before seeking repair or replacement, we recommend that you review the following:
LOUD NOISES: (Other than those during grinding of small bones and fruit pits): These are usually caused
by accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign objects. To correct this, turn off electrical switch
and water. After disposer has stopped, remove *splash guard (KPGDSG01), remove object with long
handled tongs, and replace *splash guard.
UNIT DOES NOT START: Unplug power cord or turn either the wall switch or breaker box switch to
“°OFF”± position, depending on your model and wiring configuration. Remove stopper (KPGDDS01) and/or
*splash guard. Check to see if turntable will rotate freely using a wooden broom handle. If turntable rotates
freely, replace *splash guard and check re-set button to see if it has been tripped. Re-set button is red and
located opposite discharge elbow, near the bottom (see 8A). Push button in until it clicks and remains
depressed. If re-set button has not been tripped, check for shorted or broken wire connecting to disposer.
Check 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.
* - Splash guard not used on Top Control/Batch Feed unit.
IF TURNTABLE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELY: Turn off disposer, then check for any foreign objects
lodged between the turntable and grind ring. Dislodge object by rotating table with a wooden broom handle
and remove object (see 8B). If no foreign object is present, there may be internal problems.
LEAKS: If the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:
1. Improper seating of sink flange (KPGDSF01) (gasket centering, putty or tightening).
2. Support ring not tightened properly.
3. Defective or improperly installed cushion mount. If unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due
to improper tightening of elbow flange screws.
8A
TURNTABLE
8B
Cleaning and Maintenance
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE YOUR DISPOSER!
The motor is permanently lubricated. The disposer is self cleaning and scours its internal parts with each
use. NEVER put lye or chemical drain cleaners into the disposer, as they cause serious corrosion of metal
parts. If used, resulting damage can be easily detected and all warranties are void. Mineral deposits from
your water can form on the stainless steel turntable, giving the appearance of rust. DO NOT BE ALARMED,
the stainless steel turntables used will not corrode.
