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.
or
2. Wire the disposer directly into the house

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:
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 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 three-
prong plug.
