O CONNECT DISPOSERTO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Electric SHock
• Impreper 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 instaned 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 dis-
poser.
• 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.
There are two ways to connect electrical power to your disposer:
1.) Direct wire
2.) Plug in cord -installed at factory, or from Kenmore Kit #60686 (for all models listed in this manual)
Disposer Circuit Requirements
Ensure the following electricalrequirementsare met before connectingdisposer to switch(see Figure9-1 for typicaldirect
wired electricalcircuitdiagram):
Remove fuse (or open the circuit breaker) before connecting
disposer to circuit.
Batch feed disposers do not require a separate wall switch
- switch is built into disposer and disposer is wired directly
into circuit.
If junction box is used, connect the junction box to the switch
on a separate 15 or 20 Amp, 115 Volt circuit with the appropri-
ate cable. (Use 14 gauge wire with 15 Amp circuit, and 12
gauge wire with 20 Amp circuit).
•If you install a double receptacle to handle other small kitchen
appliances, include a wall switch in disposer receptacle circuit
and wire other receptacle directly to power source.
• This disposer requires a switch with a marked "Off" position
(wired to disconnect all ungrounded supply conductors)
installed within sight of the disposer sink opening (1 HP mini-
mum rating).
Connect Disposer to Electrical Supply/Ground Disposer
Follow these instructions to direct wire the disposer. (If adding a cord and plug, follow
the directions included with the cord and plug).
1. Remove electrical cover plate from bottom of disposer and pull out black and white
wires (see Figure 9-1). DO NOT REMOVE CARDBOARD INSULATION SHIELD.
2. Run electrical cable through access hole (A) on bottom of disposer (with 1/2"
conduit or 3/8" flex) and secure with clamp connector.
3. Strip wires back approximately 1/2 inch. Connect white (neutral)
electrical wire to white disposer wire, and black (hot) electrical wire to black
disposer wire (may have colored stripe) with wire nuts (see Figure 9-1). Insulate
wire connections with electrical tape, and push connections 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). 9-1
Grounding Instructions for Direct Wired Units
This appliance must be connected to agrounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-greunding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead
on the appliance.
Grounding Instructions for Cord Connected Units
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
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 an local codes and ordinances.
OCONNECT DISPOSERTO MOUNTING ASSEMBLY

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.
1ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN LINE
Determine appropriate installation based upon new installation or plumbing configuration: Two-
Bolt Discharge Tube or One-Bolt Discharge Tube.
Property Damage
Do not use thread sealants or pipe dope; they may harm the disposer and
cause property damage.
Two-Bolt DlechargeTube Installation (PreferredTwo-Bolt Installation)
if replacing existing disposer, remove and discard existing discharge tube and gasket. (Unit will
not seal properly with old discharge tube.)
1. Slide metal flange (A) over discharge tube (B) (see Figure 11-1).
2. Insert rubber gasket (C) into discharge outlet. Secure metal flange and discharge tube to
disposer with two bolts (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 ahardware 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, astraight discharge may be used (see Figure
11-2). Slide metal flange (A) over straight discharge tube (B, not supplied), install rubber gasket
(C) into discharge outlet, and secure metal flange and straight discharge tube to disposer with
two bolts (D).
One-Bolt Discharge Tube Installation (Preferred One-Bolt Installation)

O, CONNECT DISHWASHER DRAIN (IF APPLICABLE)
Connect the dishwasher to the disposer through an air gap (A). (Most
dishwasher manufacturers recommend that the discharge water runs through
an air gap to prevent backflow and/or dishwasher contamination.) Ensure
knockout plug is removed (see Instruction 1). Plumbing connections must
comply with local plumbing codes.
If you have a 7/8" 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 dish-
washer drain hose (for drain hose other than 7/8" diameter), use a hose
clamp to attach the drain hose/connector to the dishwasher inlet on the
disposer.
OATTACH SPECIFICATION DECAL

TIONS on the next page before operating the disposer.
WARNING
When using electric appliances, basic precautions are always to be followed, including:
•Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is required when an
appliance is used near children.
• Do not put fingers or hands into a waste disposer.
• Turn the power switch to the off position before attempting to clear a •
jam, removing an object from the disposer, or pressing reset button.
• When attempting to loosen a jam in awaster disposer, use the self-
service wrenchette or a long wooden object such as a wooden spoon •
or the wooden handle of a broom or mop.
• When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposer use a
long-handled tongs or pliers. For a disposer that is magnetically •
actuated, use nonmagnetic tools.
• To reduce the risk of injury by materials that are expellable by a•
waste disposer, do not put the following into a disposer: Clam or
oyster shells, caustic drain cleaners or similar products, glass, china,
or plastic, large (whole) bones, metal (such as bottle caps, tin cans,
or utensils), hot grease or other hot liquids.
This product is designed to dispose of normal household
food waste; inserting materials other than food waste
into disposer could cause personal injury and/or property
damage.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not use the sink containing
the disposer for purposes other than food preparation (such
as baby bathing or washing hair).
Do not dispose of the following in the disposer: paints,
solvents, household cleaners and chemicals, automotive
fluids, plastic wrap, or whole corn husks.
Replace anti-splash baffle when worn to help prevent entry
or ejection of material and water.
FIRE HAZARD: Do not store flammable items such as rags,
paper, or aerosol cans near disposer. Do not store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in vicinity
of disposer.
CONTINUOUS FEED DISPOSERS
1. Remove stopper from sink opening and run strong flow of cold water.
2. Turn on wall switch to start disposer,
3. Slowly insert food waste into disposer and position stopper to minimize possible ejection of
material while grinding (see Figure A).
4. After grinding is complete, turn disposer off and run water for at least 15 seconds to flush
drain line.
BATCH FEED DISPOSERS
Batch feed disposer differ from continuous feed models in that the batch feed on/off switch is
built into the disposer and activated by the stopper. (See Instruction 1,/nstal/ation Dimensions
chart, for model reference.)
1. Read important safety instructions contained in the Installation, Care & Use manual.
2. Remove stopper from sink opening and place food waste into disposer grind chamber. Do
not pack chamber with waste. Place stopper back in sink opening. Run a strong flow
of cold water.
3. Turn on disposer by lifting stopper slightly and turning to left or right untildisposer starts.
(See Figure B; Sea/- Completely in, Drain - Lift 1/4 inch and turn, Start - Turn fully left
or right.)
4. After grinding is complete, turn disposer off by removing the stopper and allow water to run
for at least 15 seconds to flush drain Fine.
DO...
First turn on amoderate to strong
flow of cold water and then turn
on the disposer. Continue running
cold water for 15 seconds after
grinding is completed to flush the
drain line.
• Grind hard materials such as small
bones, fruit pits, and ice. A scour-
ing action is created by the par-
ticles 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 extremely 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.
Don't be alarmed if a brown discoloration appears
on the face of the grinding disc. This is normal. It is
surface discoloration only and will not affect the life
or performance of the disposer.
