OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO START

1. Check to ensure disposer is free of foreign objects.
2. Ensure power is on.
3. Push start button. Disposer motor will run and water

will flow into the disposer.

4. Water flow will decrease to 1 GPM approximately

30 seconds after intitial start-up if no load is

present in disposer.

TO STOP

1. Push stop button. Disposer motor and water will stop.
2. Water may continue to flow into disposer for up to

10 minutes, per the time set on the water shutoff

delay timer.

NOTE: This post-flush clears the drain lines of
food waste.

WATER SHUTOFF DELAY ADJUSTMENT

Locate the water shutoff delay at the top of the printed
circuit board in the AS-101K (See Figure 8). Set the
dip switches for the desired water shut off delay. Use
the guide printed on the circuit board to set minutes of
delay. The dip switches should be moved to match the
filled-in areas of the guide.

NOTE: This feature is set in the manual position at the
factory. To activate the automatic timed disposer
shut-off, disconnect the electric power to the control
center, then open the control center door. Locate the
Dip Switch Module at the top of the printed circuit board
(see Figure 8). Move the #5 dip switch from MANUAL to
AUTOMATIC. The disposer now automatically shuts off
10 minutes after it starts.

AQUA-SAVER ADJUSTMENT

CURRENT SENSING CONTROL SET-UP

See Figure 9.

1. Adjust the trip

delay to mid-setting. This adjusts

the length of the time the water runs at full flow

after grinding is completed. Mid-setting is

approximately 15 seconds.

2. With the disposer running at high water flow:

a. Adjust the trip point control to maximum
position, the light is not illuminated.

b. Turn the trip point control counterclockwise
until the red fault light is illuminated, stop.

c. Turn the trip point control clockwise slowly,
stopping immediately when the red fault light
is no longer illuminated. Turn slightly
counterclockwise incrementally with the light
remaining off to assure you are at the exact set
point. To ensure sensitivity, the trip point must
be set at the exact point the light becomes no
longer illuminated.

NOTE: Water flow will decrease after trip delay time
setting expires.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

• Turn off the electrical supply to the disposer before

attempting any work on it. Use a voltmeter or

circuit tester to ensure that power is off.

• Installation must conform to local plumbing and

electrical codes.

• All control centers and disposers must be carefully

and permanently grounded.

• A properly fused disconnect must be installed at

the electrical supply source for the control center.

PERSONAL INJURY

To adjust the water shutoff delay, disconnect the

electrical power to the control panel and open the

control center door.

Example 1: Dip switches 1, 2, 3, 4 pushed to the down

position will give a 0 minute delay.

Example 2: Dip switches 1, 3, 4 pushed to the up

position; and dip switch 2 pushed to the
down position will give a 10 minute delay.

AUTOMATIC TIMED DISPOSER SHUTOFF

This water saving feature allows the disposer to run for
up to 10 minutes before it automatically shuts off and
must be manually restarted.
