GROUNDING 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
r esistance for electric current. This disposer is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. 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.
Food waste disposers provide an environmentally responsible alternative to transporting food waste to landfills.
And they can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At capable wastewater treatment plants, food waste can
be converted to biosolids and used as fertilizer. Capable plants can also recycle food waste into renewable energy.
(Check the plant in your area.)
