• 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 a waste disposer, use the self-
service wrenchette.
• When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposer, use
long-handled tongs or pliers.
• 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, steel shot, tin
cans, or utensils), hot grease or other hot liquids.

W A R N I N G
When using electric appliances, basic precautions are always to be followed, including:
W A R N I N G
DO...
• First turn on cold water and then turn on the disposer. Continue run-
ning cold water for several seconds after grinding is completed to flush
the drain line.
• Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and ice. A
scouring action is created by the particles 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 large amounts of egg shells or 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove stopper from sink opening and run cold water.
2. Turn on wall switch to start disposer.
3. Slowly insert food waste into disposer.
WARNING!
Position stopper to minimize possible ejection of material while grinding.
4. After grinding is complete, turn disposer off and run water for a few seconds to flush drain line.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For all grounded, cord-connected disposers:
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. If your disposer did not include a factory
installed power cord, use a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. (InSinkErator power cord accessory CRD-00 recommended.)
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
For permanently connected disposers:
This disposer must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the disposer.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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
you are using does not fit the outlet, do not modify the plug or attempt to
force the plug into the outlet – have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• This disposer must be properly grounded.
• Do not attach ground wire to gas supply line.
• Disconnect power before installing or servicing disposer.
• 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.
