WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY (cont.)

If you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

The power cord and/or connections must comply with the National Electrical Code, Section 422 and/or local codes and ordinances.

For Models Not Equipped with a Cord:

If your disposer does not come equipped with a cord, you can connect it in two ways:

1. Attach a power cord, minimum 18” in length and not to exceed 36” in length. Use GE Part Number PM3X215.

2. Wire the disposer directly into the house 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.

DANGER: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualiﬁ ed electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

NOTE:

Disconnect electric power to disposer circuit before installation. Turn the circuit breaker to the OFF

position or remove the fuse.

A. Connect the disposer to 110-120 Volt, 60 Hz AC

current only.

B. If a plug-in

cord is used, use a threeprong plug. Ground wire should be attached to the ground screw in the bottom of the disposer (end bell).

Trace lead connected to this blade and attach that lead to white wire on disposer. Ribbed Side

NOTE: When viewing face of

electrical plug with grounding pin at top, the larger left blade is connected to the identiﬁ ed wire.

C. Use a cable clamp

strain relief connector where power cord enters the disposer.

Heyco Box Connectors Part No. 30403

To Wire Your Disposer Directly into the House Current:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

A. If you use BX cable:

1. These products are designed for household use.

2. Connect white wire to white lead of disposer with a wire nut. Connect black wire to black lead of disposer with a wire nut. Connect bare ground wire to the ground screw. The ground wire should be clamped and held by a strain relief.

3. Do not use a rigid conduit for the wiring connection.

4. A dedicated acceptable motor switch, with the off position marked, shall be provided for this disposer at the time of installation. The switch shall be mounted in sight of the disposer or the sink opening for the disposer.

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.

To House Current or Power Cord

B. If your power supply does not include a

ground wire, you must provide one unless metal cable is used. Attach a copper wire securely to disposer ground screw and attach other end of wire to a reliable ground. Use only UL approved ground clamp. If plastic pipe is used in your home, a quali ed electrician should install a proper ground.
