Note: If the dishwasher connection is made without removing the plug, the
dishwasher may overflow.
Remove Knockout Plug （Picture 7.1）

into the dishwasher inlet so tip rests on outer edge of
knockout plug.
2. Tap end of screwdriver handle with hammer until molded
plug breaks loose.
3. Remove loose knockout plug from inside disposer.
If you have a sink overflow, it should be connected to the overflow
inlet on the tailpipe. To connect the overflow, remove the plug in
the tailpipe by unscrewing the overflow connector cap.
7. Connect Disposer to Mounting Assembly
Note: To avoid personal injury, do not position your head or body under disposer, the
unit could fall during installation.
Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting
the disposer to the sink.
1. This product must be installed so that the motor reset button
located on the bottom of the disposer is readily accessible.
Keep this space clear of all objects.
2. Lift the disposer, inset the top end into the mounting assembly and
turn. So the mounting assembly bottom end end can slide into the
splash guard slot.
3. Mount the Locking ring and lock it up
4. Run water into sink, then check for leaks. Insert sound baffle into
sink flange.
8.Attach Discharge Tube to Waste Drain Pipe
Do not use plumbers putty on any other disposer connection other than on sink
flange. Do not use thread sealants. These may harm disposer and cause property
damage.
Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for water leaks, as water leaks can
cause property damage. Manufacturer can not be held responsible for property
damage as a result of water leaks.
Discharge pipe installation （Picture 9.1）
1. Place metal flange over discharge tube.
Insert rubber gasket with gasket lip facing
the metal flange into discharge tube.
2. Secure metal flange and discharge tube
to disposer with bolts.
3. Rotate disposer so that discharge tube
is aligned with drain trap. ( To prevent
leaks, do not pull or bend discharge
tube to drain trap.) If discharge tube
is too short, you can purchase an
extension from hardware store.
4. Place nut, then ferrule on discharge tube and tighten on drain trap.
(If you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides
of sink.)
Ensure lower mounting ring is still securely locked over ridges on
mounting flange.

power, contact a qualified electrician to connect
disposer to electrical circuit.
· If three-prong, earth plug is used, plug must be
inserted into three hole, earth receptacle.
· All wiring must comply with local electrical codes.

molded plug and cable.
On/off Control
Connect to a 10 amp earth wall socket using a 10 amp cable.
◎Air Switch：
Air switch is included with each disposer. An air switch activates/turns
off the unit by sending a pulse of air to the control box.
◎Air Switch Installation
1. Drill a 33mm wide hole into the kitchen work top, or the corner of the
sink unit, at the most convenient point for use. Some sink units may
already have a suitable hole in them which can be exposed by
removing the cap.
2. Remove the nut from the push button below, while keeping the
rubber gasket in place. Push one end of the PVC tubing onto the
spout of the push button bellows, feed the other end of the tube
through the hole in the work top and through the nut underneath
the work top. （Picture 10.3）
（Picture10.1）
3. Fit the Push button bellows in the hole and then screw up the nut
underneath the work top until it is hand tight.
（ Do not use a wrench to tighten the nut. ）（ Picture10.3）
4. Take the other end of the air tube and firmly push it over the spout
of the air switch, which is located on the underside of the waste
disposer.
◎Disable Air Switch
The air switch can be disabled if wall switch is preferred.
The disposer is shipped with the switch in the “off” position.
1. Push one end of the PVC tubing provided onto the spout of the
push button bellows.
2. Take the other end of the air tube and push it over the spout of air
switch, which is located at the bottom of the disposer unit.
3. Depress the air switch one time until you hear the switch “click.”
Remove and discard the push button and PVC tubing. The
disposer may now be activated by a wall switch.
The disposer installation is complete. Read all operation and safety
instructions in section 11 before operating the disposer. Lastly, place
stopper in sink to close position. Fill sink with water, remove the stopper,
turn the disposer on and check for leaks.
