IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO
PERSONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING – When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when an appliance is used near children.
3. Do not put fingers or hands into a waste disposer.
4. Turn the power switch to the off position before
attempting to clear a jam or remove an object
from the disposer.
5. When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposer, use a long wooden object such as a wooden
spoon or the wooden handle of a broom or mop.
6. When attempting to remove objects from a waste
disposer use long-handled tongs or pliers. If the
disposer is magnetically actuated, non-magnetic
tools should be used.
7. To reduce the risk of injury by materials that may
be expelled 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, aluminum foil or utensils;
hot grease or other hot liquids; whole cornhusks.
8. When not operating a disposer, leave the stopper
in place to reduce the risk of objects falling into
the disposer.
9. DO NOT operate disposer unless splash guard is
in place. (Does not apply to the Top
Control/Batch Feed units.)
10. For proper grounding instructions see the ELECTRICAL CONNECTION portion of this manual.
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
mount ring to the left clockwise (see 1B). If you
are unable to turn the mount 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 mount 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 plugin 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.

2. DISHWASHER CONNECTION
If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following procedure. If dishwasher is not to be connected
go on to section 3.
A. Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden
dowel), knock out entire plug (see 2A). Do not
use a screwdriver or sharp instrument. When
knockout plug falls into disposer, you may
remove it or simply grind it up when the disposer
is used. This will not damage the disposer in any
way, but may take some time to grind, over the
course of several uses. Go to Section 3.
B. Connect dishwasher hose using hose clamp. If
hose size is different, you will need a Dishwasher
Connector Kit (see 2B). Make sure all plumbing
connections are tight and in accordance with all
plumbing codes and ordinances. Run water and
check for leaks.

NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of mount
assembly parts, as they have been correctly assembled
by the factory. (See 3A and 3B.)
A. Disassemble the mounting assembly, as it has
been shipped, by turning the sink flange until the
projections align with the notches in the mount
ring and allow you to pull the sink flange up and
out of the remaining mount assembly. Note the
sequence of these parts as they are stacked and
refer to 3A and 3B to identify each part. Unpack
the 3 mount screws and screw them half way
through the mount ring (notice “THIS SIDE UP”
is imprinted on top of the mount ring).
Next, stack the rubber gasket on top of the protector ring and sit them on top of the pointed
ends of the mount screws.
B. Keep these assembled parts together and set aside.
Before you connect the disposer to the mount
assembly under the sink, you may want to practice engaging the groove of the Hush Cushion®
to the ridge at the bottom of the sink flange (see
3A and read Sec. 6).
C. Be sure your sink is clean. Pack the underside rim
of the sink flange with plumber’s putty (see 3C).
Position the sink flange so it is centered and readable as you look into your sink. Push the sink
3-Bolt Mount System

flange firmly into the sink opening to make a good seal. DO
NOT move or rotate the sink flange once seated or the seal
may be broken.
D. Take the remaining portion of the mount assembly, as it was
set aside and make sure that the rubber gasket is on top of
the protector ring. From under the sink, while holding the
sink flange firmly with one hand, line up the notches in the
mount ring with the projections of the sink flange. Slide the
mount assembly up onto the sink flange, past the projections and give the mount assembly a 1/4 turn, so that it will
hang by itself (see 3D).
E. Tighten the 3 mounting screws evenly with a screwdriver
(see 3E). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Trim off excess putty.

together.
A. Disassemble mount assembly from disposer by
turning mount ring to the left (clockwise) and
remove.
B. Raise mount ring toward top of sink flange.
Remove cushion mount. Remove mount ring. You
may want to practice installing the cushion
mount at this point before you are under the
sink. See paragraph H. Also see the “Important
Notice: Cushion Mount Detail.”
C. Unscrew support ring from sink flange and
remove fiber gasket. You are now left with sink
flange and rubber gasket.
D. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers
putty with stainless steel sinks. Other sinks will
require putty.
E. If no putty is used, insert sink flange through rub-
ber gasket into sink opening. Do not rotate sink
flange once it is seated.
F. If you use putty instead of the gasket, 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 gasket onto
exposed sink flange. With arrows pointing up,
screw support ring onto the sink flange, hand
tighten until the sink flange will not move (see
3F). At this point you may want to insert stopper
in sink and fill with water to check sink flange
seal and insure there are no leaks.

The Anti-Jam Swivel Impellers make a clicking
sound as they swing into place. This indicates
normal operation.
A. Remove sink stopper. Turn on a medium flow of
cold water.
B. Turn switch to ON position; your motor is turn-
ing 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 consider-
able 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.
6F
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 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.
BATCH FEED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Anti-Jam Swivel Impellers make a clicking sound as they swing into place. This indicates normal operation.

9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
8. 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 object. To correct this, turn off electrical switch
and water. After disposer has stopped, remove *splash
guard, 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 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 object 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 (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.

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.
