electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate oudet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Most houses have electrical outlets
under tim sink that are half-hot. Tiffs means one
outlet is controlled by the wall switch, while the
other is always hot. The batch-feed or "TC" model
connects to the hot side, while the continuous feed
model connects to tim switch side.

NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of the sink
flange parts, as they have been correctly assembled
by the factory.
A. Disassemble the sink flange assembly flom the
disposer by turning the mount ring to the left
(clockwise) and removing it.
B. Raise the mount ring toward the top of the sink
flange. Remove the cushion mount and the mount
ring. You may want to practice installing the
cushion mount at this point before you are under
the sink.
C. Unscrew the support ring flom the sink flange and
remove the tiber gasket. You are now left with the
sink flange and the rubber gasket.
D. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers
putty with stainless steel sinks.
E. If no putty is used, insert the sink flange through
the rubber gasket into the sink opening. Do not
turn the flange once it is seated.
E If you use putty instead of the gasket, form a ring
around the underside of the sink flange. Insert the
flange into the sink opening, press down hard to
squeeze out excess putty. From under the sink,
trim off excess putty flush with the bottom edge
of the sink opening. Use putty sparingly on cast
iron sinks.
G.From underneath the sink,
slip the tiber gasket onto the
exposed sink flange. With
arrows pointing up, screw the
support ring onto the sink
flange and hand tighten until
the sink flange will not move. At
Hand-tightensink
flange
this point you may want to insert the stopper
in the sink and fill with water to check the sink
flange seal and insure there are no leaks.
H.Place the mount ring over
the sink flange and hold in
place while installing the
cushion mount (large side
down). Make sure the
groove on the inside of the
cushion mount fits over the
lip on the sink flange, CushionMountDetail
similar to putting the lid Top
on a plastic container.
Run your fingers
around the entire
cushion mount with
slight pressure. Do not press too hard. When the
cushion mount is properly seated, the mount ring
can be pulled downward over the cushion mount
and will be fiee to turn.

go on to "Attaching the Discharge Elbow" section.
%KNOCK OUT PLUG
Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden
dowel), knock out entire plug. Do not use a
screwdrNer or sharp instrument. When knockout
plug falls into disposer, you may remove it or
simply grind it up when the disposer is used. This
will not damage the disposer in any way, but may
take some time to grind, over the course of several
uses. Knockout

This disposer uses anti-jam swivel impellers that make a clicking sound as they swing into place.
This indicates normal operation.
ContinuousFeedModels
A. Remove the sink stopper and turn on
a medium flow of cold wateL
B. Turn the switch to ON.
C. Scrape in food waste. To speed up food
waste disposal, cut or break up large
bones, rinds and cobs. I,arge bones
and fibrous husks require considerable
grinding time and are more easily
thrown away with other trash. Do not
be alarmed that the disposer slows down
while grinding. The disposer is actually
increasing torque (grinding power) and
is operating under normal conditions.
D. Before turning the disposer off, let
the water and the disposer run for
approximately 25 seconds after
shredding stops. This assures that
all waste is thoroughly flushed through
the uap and drain.
E. Do not use hot water while running the
disposeL (;old water will keep food waste
and fats solid so they can be flushed
down the drain.

HelpfulHints
A. Be sure the disposer is empty before using
the dishwasher so it can drain properly.
B, You may want to leave the stopper in the
drain when not in use to prevent utensils
and foreign objects flom falling into the
disposeL
C° The disposer is ruggedly built to give you
years and years of trouble-flee service.
It will handle all normal food wastes--
BUT it will not grind and dispose such
items as tin cans, bottles and bottle caps,
glass, china, leather, cloth, crocke_y,

D. TO SPEED UP FOOD WASTE
DISPOSAl .... Cut or break up large bones,
melon rinds, grapefruit skins and corn
cobs. Items such as large bones, fibrous
husks like lima bean pods and corn husks
require considerable cutting time. For this
reason, you may prefer to place them in
the trash can or trash compactoL
Careandmaintenance.
THEMOTOR IS PERMANENTLY LUBRICATEDFOR LIFE.DO NOT ATTEMPT TOLUBRICATE
YOURDISPOSER. The disposer is self cleaning and scours itself with each use.
_NEVER put lye or chemical cleaners into the

E1 cable el_ctrico y/o las conexiones deben cmnplir
con el cddigo National Electric, Secci6n 422 y/o cddigos
locales y ordenanzas.
Para modelos no equipados con un cable:
Si su tritmador no viene equipado con un cable, usted
puede conectaflo de dos manecas:
1. Adhieca un cable el6ctrico, de una longitud mfnima
de 18" y que no exceda 36:' E1 Kit GE #PM3Xl15
proporciona las partes necesarias paca llacer
esta conexion.
2. Conecte el tritucador directamente al sistema el_ctrico
de la casa. GE recomienda que la conexi6n la llaga un
t&cnico calificado.
Para conectar un cable electrico:
INSTRUCCIONES DECONEXION A TIERRA: Este apamto debe
ser conectado a tiena. En el caso de una mvrf._ o dafio, la
conexiGn a tierFa stnninistFa una vfa de menor resistencia
paca la corriente el_ctrica a fin de reducir el riesg*) de una
descarga el_ctrica. E1 cable el_ctrico (a instalar) debe tenet
un conductor y un encllulc de conexi6n a tierca. E1 encllulc
debe conectarse a un tomacorriente apropiado que est_
instalado correctamente y con conexi6n a tierFa de acuerdo
con todos los cddig,)s y regulaciones locales. Si no existen
cddigos locales y/u ordenanzas, el encllulc debe ajustarse
a los requisitos NEC.

Si usted est_i conectando una lavadora de platos,
complete el siguiente paso. Si pot el contrario, usted
no va a conectar una lavadora de platos, pase a la
seccidn "St{jetando el codo de descarga."
IT] TAPON DE VACIADO
Con un instrumento sin puma (punzdn de acero o
clavija de madera), retire el tap6n completamente.
No use un destornillador o insuumento afilado.
Cuando el tapdn de vaciado caiga dentro del
uimrador, lo puede quitar o simplemente tritfirelo
cuando utilice el trimrador. Esto no dafiard de
ninguna manera el trimrador, pero puede tomar
algfin fiempo para uimrarse, en el uanscurso
de varios usos.
CONECTE LA MANGUERA
Conecte la manguera de la lavadora de platos
utilizando una abrazadera de manguera. Si el
tamafio de la manguera es diferente, necesitar_
un adaptador de caucho escalonado.
