HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY (cont.)
If you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician.
The power cord and/or connections must
comply with the National Electrical Code,
Section 422 and/or local codes and ordinances.
For Models Not Equipped with a Cord:
If your disposer does not come equipped with a
cord, you can connect it in two ways:
1. Attach a power cord, minimum 18" in length
and not to exceed 36" in length.
or
2. Wire the disposer directly into the house
current.
To Attach a Power Cord:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance
must be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The power cord (to
be installed) must have 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:
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 appliance
is properly grounded.
NOTE: Disconnect electric power to disposer circuit before
installation. Turn the circuit breaker to the OFF position or
remove the fuse.
A. Connect the disposer to 110–120 Volt, 60 Hz
AC current only.
B. If a plug-in
cord is used,
use a three-
prong plug.
Ground wire
should be
attached to
the ground
screw in the
bottom of
the disposer
(end bell).
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

To Wire Your Disposer Directly into the House
Current:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance
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 appliance.
A. If you use BX cable:
1. Install the cable connector in the hole.
2. Connect white wire to white lead of
disposer.
3. Connect black wire.
4. Connect bare ground wire.
If BX cable is not used, provide a separate
ground wire to nearest reliable ground, using
the screw in the end bell for the ground wire.

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 reliable ground. Use
