Connect Disposer to Plumbing
- Reconnect plumbing (and dishwasher connection if used).
NOTICE
Property Damage: Risk of water leakage if not properly assembled.
To reduce the potential of leaking, the drain line must be properly pitched (not less than 6.4 mm of pitch per 0.3 metres of run) from the disposer to the drain connection, with the drain connection being lower than the disposer discharge. Failure to do so could lead to premature corrosion or leaking due to standing water left in the disposer.
For disposers equipped with an Anti-Vibration Tailpipe Mount™, make sure tailpipe mount is not flexed. You may need to trim tube for proper fit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
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 resistance for electric current. Use of InSinkErator EZ Connect power cord is required. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
![]()
Improper connection of the 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 disposer is properly grounded. If the EZ Connect power cord provided does not fit the outlet, do not modify the plug or attempt to force the plug into the outlet – have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
- This disposer must be properly grounded.
- Do not attach ground wire to gas supply line.
- Disconnect power before installing or servicing disposer.
- EZ Connect power cord must be inserted into 3-hole grounded receptacle.
- All wiring must comply with local electrical codes.
- Do not reconnect electrical current at main service panel until proper grounds are installed.
NOTICE
- Do not use silicone caulk on any other disposer connection other than sink flange. Do not use thread sealants. These may harm disposer and cause property damage.
- For models equipped with the Anti-Vibration Tailpipe Mount™, failure to use the spring load hose clamp provided voids the warranty.
- To properly drain and prevent standing water in the disposer when utilizing a straight pipe discharge tube, the tube connection opposite the disposer outlet must be lower, not higher, than the disposer outlet.
![]()
When using electric appliances, basic precautions are always to be followed, including:
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is required when an appliance is used near children.
- Do not put fingers or hands into disposer.
- Turn the power switch to the off position before attempting to clear a jam or removing an object from the disposer.
- When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposer, use the wrenchette.
- When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposer, use long-handled tongs or pliers.
- Do not put the following into a disposer: clam or oyster shells, caustic drain cleaners or similar products, glass, china, or plastic, metal (such as bottle caps, steel shot, tin cans, or utensils), hot grease or other hot liquids.
- When not operating a disposer, leave the stopper in place to reduce the risk of objects falling into the disposer.
- This product is designed to dispose of normal household food waste; inserting materials other than food waste into disposer could cause personal injury and/or property damage.
- Do not dispose of the following in the disposer: paints, solvents, household cleaners and chemicals, automotive fluids, plastic wrap.
- FIRE HAZARD: Do not store flammable items such as rags, paper or aerosol cans near disposer. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in vicinity of disposer.
- LEAK HAZARD: Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for leaks, which can cause property damage and could result in personal injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS*
- Remove stopper from sink opening and run cold water.
- Turn on disposer.
- Slowly insert food waste into disposer.
- After grinding is complete, turn disposer off and run water for 10–15 seconds to flush drain line.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
DO...
- First turn on cold water and then turn on the disposer. Continue running cold water for several seconds after grinding is completed to flush the drain line.
- Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and ice. A scouring action is created by the particles inside the grind chamber.
- Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain smells.
- Use a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodoriser as necessary to relieve objectionable odours caused by grease build-up.
NOTICE
Failure to flush the disposer properly may result in damage to the disposer and/or property damage.
DON'T...
- Don't pour grease or fat down your disposer or any drain. It can build up in pipes and cause drain blockages. Put grease in a jar or can and dispose in the bin.
- Don't use hot water when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods.
- Don't fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels in gradually.*
- Don't grind large amounts of egg shells or fibrous materials like corn husks, artichokes, etc., to avoid possible drain blockage.
- Don't turn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of motor and water is heard.
*Cover Control user should refer to the Cover Control instruction manual.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING DISPOSER
Over time, food particles may accumulate in the grind chamber and baffle. An odour from the disposer is usually a sign of food build-up.
To clean disposer:
- Place stopper in sink opening and fill sink halfway with warm water.
- Mix together a solution of baking soda with water. Turn disposer on and remove stopper from sink at same time to wash away loose particles.
- Remove Sink Baffle and clean by hand or in dishwasher. Do not operate disposer without Sink Baffle in place.
RELEASING DISPOSER JAM
If motor stops while disposer is operating, disposer may be jammed. To release jam:
- Turn off disposer and water.
- Insert one end of wrenchette into centre hole on bottom of disposer. Work wrenchette back and forth until it turns one full revolution. Remove wrenchette.
![]()
- Reach into disposer with tongs and remove object(s).
-
- Disposer is equipped with an automatic overload switch. Allow disposer to cool for a period of up to 20 minutes before turning back on. (If motor remains inoperative, check service panel for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses).
![]()
Allow disposer motor to cool for 3 - 5 minutes, then lightly push red reset button on disposer bottom. (If motor remains inoperative, check service panel for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.)
