In-Sink-Erator Commercial disposers are warranted against defects in material
and workmanship for one year from the date of installation. The warranty includes parts and labor, provided the service is performed by an In-Sink-Erator
Factory Authorized Service Center. This warranty does not apply if failure is
due to:
installation, product abuse or misuse, accidental damage, grinding elements
jammed by foreign objects, clogged drain lines, improperly sized unit (as specified by In-Sink-Erator).
Commercial disposer accessories are included in this warranty only if they are
included in the original disposer purchase package.

1 for a typical installation).
See Table 1 on page 3 for the approved disposer/
mounting adapter combinations. See Table 3 on page
7 for the approved disposer/control combinations.

When installing an In-Sink-Erator commercial disposer to a non-In-Sink-Erator style sink bowl, a special mounting
adapter kit is required. The special mountings are described in the
information, call 1-800 558-5712 and select
option 4).

To allow easy access to overload reset button, the
disposer plumbing should be connected with the
electrical control box facing the operator.
When connecting the drain line, place the “P-trap” as
close to the disposer outlet flange as possible. Do not
connect the drain line to a grease trap, interceptor, or
drum trap.
All horizontal runs should be as short as possible, with
a minimum fall of 1/4 inch per foot.
Property Damage
These plumbing instructions were written for an experienced and competent installer. If the installer is not experienced in plumbing installation, ISE recommends that competent professional assistance is sought. Damage to the
disposer or accessories as a result of improper installation is not covered under warranty. All installations must
comply with local plumbing codes.

Electrical Shock
• Turn off the electrical supply to the disposer before servicing. (Test the circuit with a volt meter or circuit tester
to ensure the power is off.)
• All control centers and disposers must be grounded.
• A properly fused disposer control (with a marked “off”
position) that disconnects all ungrounded supply conductors must be installed at the electrical supply source.
Personal Injury/Property Damage
If the electrical installer is not experienced in electrical installation, we recommend seeking competent professional
assistance. Disposer or accessory damage due to improper installation is not covered under warranty. All installations must comply with local electrical codes.
Property Damage
• Disposers shipped from the factory are not wired for a
specific voltage. Refer to the motor connection wiring
diagram in the terminal box for voltage instructions.
• Ensure that the disposer motor voltage and phase match
that of the electrical supply.
DISPOSER CONTROLSDISPOSER CONTROLS
DISPOSER CONTROLS
DISPOSER CONTROLSDISPOSER CONTROLS
Install the disposer controls within sight of the disposer (per local codes) so the disposer can be reached easily in an
emergency situation. In-Sink-Erator approved disposer/control combinations are listed in Table 3.
1. Remove the screw in the center of the disposer
terminal box.
2. Pull the terminal box out of the stainless-steel trim
shell.
3. Connect an electrical conduit connector to the hole
in the bottom of the exposed wiring compartment.
4. Connect the ground wire to the ground screw.
5. Connect the incoming wires to the motor leads.
(Make sure the wiring connections are the same as
those on the motor control wiring diagram for your
specific control.) (See pages 10 - 17.)
6. Reinstall the terminal box cover on the trim shell.
Electric Shock
Be careful not to pinch or damage the electrical wires when
replacing the terminal box.
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: Complete electrical information is located
NOTE:NOTE:
inside the disposer terminal box.
7. Test the disposer to ensure that the cutting elements
revolve and the water flows automatically. Make
sure the disposer is securely mounted and does not
leak from any of the connections.

Personal Injury
• Food waste disposers are designed to grind and dispose of normal food waste. Inserting materials or items
other than food waste into the disposer could cause
personal injury and/or disposer damage.
• To reduce the risk of injury from materials that may be
expelled from the disposer grind chamber, ensure that
the disposer baffle is properly installed.
• To prevent the ejection of food waste and to keep foreign material out of the grind chamber, replace the
splash baffle when it becomes worn.
• Do not put any of the following items into the disposer:
clam or oyster shells, drain cleaner, glass, china, plastic, plastic wrap, large bones, metal objects, explosive materials, or extremely hot water or grease/oil.
• Turn the power off before attempting to clear a jam,
removing an object, or pressing the reset button.
• Do not insert your fingers into the disposer. Use a
long-handled tongs or a pliers to remove objects from
the disposer.
• Loosen any jams with the dejamming bar.
• Be certain that all persons who will operate the disposer read the safety and operating instructions prior
to operating the disposer.
• To prevent accidents, ensure that the disposer is
turned off before you leave the area.
Fire Hazard
To minimize the possibility of fire, do not store flammable
items near the disposer. Do not use or store gasoline or
other flammable liquids near of the disposer.
Electric Shock
• Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the
disposer.
• Ensure that the disposer and controls are properly
grounded.

TROUBLESHOOTINGTROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting for problems other than what is listed below should only be performed by a qualified service
person. Troubleshooting performed by untrained personnel could result in electrical shock or damage to the
disposer. (Disconnect the power before servicing the disposer.)
PROBLEMSOLUTIONPOSSIBLE CAUSE
The disposer will not
start and water does
not flow.
The disposer will not

No incoming power.
The disposer overload protector is
tripped.
The disposer is jammed.
Turn the circuit line power on.
Turn control to the off position and press the red
reset button on the disposer.
Turn the control to the off position and complete
the following steps:
1. Insert the dejamming bar (slot down) through
the sink opening. Place the slot over one end
of the raised bars found on the top of the
rotating shredder.
2. Using an adjustable wrench or a pipe wrench
for leverage, twist the dejamming bar back and
forth to free the jam. (The rotating shredder
should revolve freely when the jam is released.)
3. Remove all foreign material that caused the
stoppage.
4. Allow the disposer to cool for 3-5 minutes after
it stops running. Press the red reset button to
reset the overload protector. (Never strike the
reset button with an object.)
5. If the disposer remains inoperative after
following these steps, contact the nearest InSink-Erator Factory Authorized Service
Center. (You may obtain the telephone
