10,a.GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
CORD
CONNECTED
UNITS.
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.
If 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.
DANGER
- Improper
connection
of the equip-
ment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Check with a qualified
electri-
cian or serviceman
if you are in doubt as to
whether
the appliance
is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appli-
ance -- if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

conductor
must
be run with
the
circuit
conductors
and connected
to the
equipment-grounding
terminal
or lead on the
appliance.

USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
Trouble Shooting
Loud noises while your disposer is operating
are usually caused by dropping metal ob-
jects into the disposer. To correct this, turn
off the disposer switch and water. After
grinding disc has stopped turning, investi-
gate. Remove object by reaching into unit
with tongs.
Motor stops while your disposer is opera-
ting. This can be caused by overloading the
unit. First, check the cause of the over-
load - often some foreign material is in the
disposer.
To avoid personal injury turn
off the disposer switch and water. Remove
the object
as previously
explained.
TO
RESTART THE MOTOR: wait 3 to 5 min-
utes, then push in on the small red reset
button located on the bottom of your disposer
(Fig. 1). If motor remains inoperative, check
your Service Panel and replace any blown
fuses, or look for a tripped circuit breaker.
NOTE: If water does not drain as readily as
you think it should, and food waste tends to
float or take too long to grind, don't reduce
water flow to solve this problem. It is very
likely that the drain line is partially clogged
and should be cleaned with a drain auger. A
blocked drain may also cause food waste to
drain into the dishwasher. Like any precision
machine, your disposer was built to perform
a particular job. If unusual demands are plac-
ed on it, service interruptions are possible.
These
service
interruptions,
mentioned
below,, are usually not serious and in most
cases, can be remedied without calling a
service technician.
To Save The Cost of a Service Call to Free a Jam.
To save the cost of a service call to free a jam.
The accidental entry of foreign material will cause any
disposer to jam occasionally. To free jammed material,
follow these steps to avoid persona! injury:
1. Turn off disposer and shut off cold water.
2. Insert one end of yo0r Self-Service
Wrenchette
pro-
vided with your disposer, into the center hole of the bot-
tom of the disposer as shown. (Fig. 2).
3. Work the Wrenchette
back and forth until it moves
freely for at least one complete
revolution.
Remove
foreign object with tongs.
Remove Wrenchette
before
restarting disposer.
4, Wait 3 to 5 minutes to allow disposer motor to cool and
then push red reset button, (Fig. 1).Before pressing red
reset button
be sure
the wall switch
is In the off
position
and on batch
feed models
remove
the
stopper from the run position.
Your Self-Service Wrenchette will free virtually every jam
that may occur due to foreign objects entering the
disposer. Very rarely, however, a piece of metal (bobby
pin, thumb tack, paper clip, silverware, etc.) causes a
jammed
condition
too tight
for your
Self-Service
Wrenchette
to handle. To free this type of jam, a pry bar or
tool must be used.
Be sure wall switch is turned off. Remove as much food
A pry bar or tool should be inserted through the sink
waste from the disposer as is possible with tongs. Use a
opening into the disposer. The end then must be placed
flashlight to determine the direction
the unit was running
alongside the grinding protrusion near the outside edge
at the time of the jam+
of the grinding disc. Be sure to place the pry tool on the
proper side of the protrusion so when pressure is applied
the grinding disc will move in the proper direction to un-
