04 SERIES FOOD WASTE DISPOSERS 13. Position the machine below the hopper rim on the rubber floor-sealing gasket, taking care not to damage or displace the gasket. 14. Insert and tighten the floor fixing bolts or screws. 15. Raise the machine height until the hopper fits snugly around the welded rim (as shown at Fig 6).
04 SERIES FOOD WASTE DISPOSERS INSTALLATION METHOD 3 – UNDER TABLING WITH WELDED ATTACHMENT The waste disposer hopper is welded directly to the cutout in the tabling. The fabricator of the tabling will normally undertake the necessary welding work, and a hopper will have been sent in advance to enable this to be done.
04 SERIES FOOD WASTE DISPOSERS 11 Raise the machine into contact with the hopper by means of the height adjustment nuts (M) ensuring that the top face of the motor unit remains level. 12 On 904 machines, insert the four bolts (I) from below the motor unit flange, fit spring washers and nuts (H) and tighten uniformly.
IMC 04 Food Waste Disposers must have an independent waste pipe, which does not also serve sinks, dishwashers and similar equipment. It is imperative that the waste pipe from the Disposer bypasses any grease trap, which may be present.

Model 1204 18-27 litres per minute Model 1604 27-36 litres per minute Every machine is run and tested by IMC before dispatch. The water flow adjustments are made then but will require resetting when installed in the final location. The pipefittings supplied with the machine include a service valve (V) and this should be set fully open.
2. Connect cable into the control box terminal block as wiring diagram, removing the blanking plug (X-Fig 2) and replacing it with cable gland supplied. If your IMC 04 Food Waste Disposer was initially ordered with a remote control button box, this unit will be supplied pre-wired to the control box.
By the time the knob is fully unscrewed and the safety baffle open, the rotor in the grinding chamber will have completely stopped. When these checks, tests and adjustments are completed, the 04 IMC Food Waste Disposer is ready for use. NORMAL OPERATION 1.
