ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Turn off the electrical supply to the disposer before
servicing. Test the circuit with a voltmeter or circuit
tester to ensure the power is off.
• Installation must conform to all local
electrical codes.
• All control centers and disposers must
be grounded.
• A properly fused disposer control (with a marked
"off" position) that disconnects all ungrounded
supply conductors must be installed at the
electrical supply source.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
• Disposers shipped from the factory are not wired
for a specific voltage. Refer to the motor
connection wiring diagram in the terminal box for
voltage instructions.
• Ensure the disposer motor voltage and phase
match that of the electrical supply.
• The disposer motor wiring connection is shown in
the disposer terminal box.
Electrical Connections
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To connect the disposer to the electricity:
1. Remove the screw in the center of the disposer
terminal box.
2. Pull the terminal box out of the stainless steel
trim shell.
3. Connect an electrical conduit connector to the hole in
the bottom of the exposed wiring compartment.
4. Connect the ground wire to the ground screw.
5. Connect the incoming wires to the motor leads. Make
sure the wiring connections are the same as those on
the electrical connection diagrams (see page 8).
6. Reinstall the terminal box cover on the trim shell.
7. Test the disposer to ensure the cutting elements
revolve and the water flows automatically. Make sure
the disposer is securely mounted and does not leak
from any of the connections.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Be careful not to pinch or damage the electrical
wires when installing the terminal box. PERSONAL INJURY/PROPERTY DAMAGE
If the electrical installer is not experienced in
electrical installation, we recommend seeking
competent professional assistance. Disposer or
accessory damage due to improper installation is
not covered under warranty. All installations must
comply with local electrical codes.
NOTES:
• Pressure switches may be connected across the
line at 5 horsepower or less. Large horsepower
motors require connection in the pilot circuit of a
magnetic starter.
• The magnetic and manual starters supplied by
InSinkErator do not require heaters to complete the
circuit. InSinkErator disposers are equipped with
overload protectors.
• A time delay may only be used with a water
solenoid valve.
