This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal
permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding con-
ductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected
to the equipment-grounding terminator or lead on the
appliance.
A. If you use BX cable:
1. Install cable connector in hole.
2. Connect white wire to white lead of disposer.
3. Connect black.
4. Connect bare ground.
If BX cable is not used, provide a serpareate ground wire to
nearest cold water metal pipe or other suitable ground, using
the screw in the bottom of the end bell for the ground wire
(see C).
B. If your power supply does not include a ground wire, you
must provide one unless metal cable is used. Attach a
copper wire securely to disposer ground screw and attach
other end of wire to a metal cold water pipe. Use only UL
approved ground clamp. If plastic pipe is used in your home,
a qualified electrician should install a proper ground.
