A. PLUG INTO APPROPRIATE OUTLET
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
all local codes and ordinances. If the supply cord is

GROUNDING: 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.
An acceptable motor control switch with a marked off
position shall be provided at the time of installation to
disconnect the disposer from all ungrounded supply
conductors. The switch shall be mounted in sight of the
disposer or in sight of the sink opening for the disposer.
WARNING: Electric Shock
Turn off power before installing or servicing disposer. All
wiring must comply with local electrical codes.• Do not
connect electrical current at main breaker panel until
adequate ground is established. Inadequate connection of
the ground wire can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult with a certified electrician or tradesman if there is
any doubt whether the disposer in inadequately
grounded. Your disposer must be adequately grounded.

B. CONVERT TO PERMANENT WIRE INSTALLATION
1. Remove Cord and Plug from the disposer – Simply
cutting the plug off of the existing cord is not allowed and
voids the warranty.
2. Follow instructions below for Permanent Wire Installation
instructions.
If you are using flexible armored (BX) cable:
1.
Install cable fitting in the disposer end bell hole.
2.
Secure the cable to the fitting and install an insulating
bushing or equivalent.
3. Connect white wire from the junction box to the white
(or blue) wire of the disposer.
4.
Connect black wire from the junction box to the black
(or brown) wire of the disposer.
5.
Connect bare ground wire from the junction box to
green ground screw within the disposer end bell.
If you are using nonmetallic-sheathed (ROMEX) cable:
1.
Install cable fitting in the end bell hole and secure the
cable to the fitting.
2.
Connect white wire from the junction box to the white
(or blue) wire of the disposer.
3.
Connect black wire from the junction box to the black
(or brown) wire of the disposer.
4.
Connect bare ground wire from the junction box to
green ground screw within the disposer end bell.
If your power supply cable does not include a grounding
wire, one must be provided. Attach a copper wire securely
to the disposer ground screw and attach other end of
ground wire to a metal cold water pipe. Do not attach
ground wire to a gas supply pipe. Use only UL Listed
grounding clamp. If plastic pipe is used in your home, a
qualified electrician should install a proper ground.
