If your power suppb, does not include a ground wire,
you umst provide one unless metal cable is used.
Attach a copper wire securely to disposer ground
screw and attach other end of wire to the nearest
gxounded connection. Use only UL approved ground

electrician should install a proper ground. Most houses
have electrical oudets under the sink that are half-
hot. This means one oudet is conuolled by the wall
switch, while tile other is always hot. Tile batch-feed
or "TC" model connects to the hot side, while the
continuous feed model connects m the switch side.
