CONNECTING DISPOSER TO 3-BOLT MOUNT ASSEMBLY
A. Remove sink stopper. Turn on
cold water using a medium flow.
B. Turn switch to ON position; your
motor is turning at full speed
and ready to use.
C. Scrape in food waste. Down the
drain go table scraps, peelings,
cobs, rinds, seeds, pits, bones
and coffee grounds. To speed up
food waste disposal, cut or
break up large bones, rinds and
cobs. Large 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 disposer off, let
water and disposer run for
approximately 25 seconds after
shredding stops. This assures
that all waste is thoroughly
flushed through trap and drain.
E. t is not recommended to use
hot water while running
disposer. Cold water will keep
food waste and fats solid so dis-
poser can flush away particles.
F. PM4 model is designed for
intermittent usage only and is
not rated for continuous
commercial usage.
A. Remove sink stopper and turn
on a medium flow of cold
water (see 6A).
B. Scrape in food waste. Down
the drain go table scraps,
vegetable peelings, cobs, rinds,
pits, bones and coffee grounds
(see 6B).
C. nsert stopper to start disposer
(see 6C). One of the two
small slots in stopper base
must line up with switch plunger
inside the neck of the disposer.
Push down firmly. Lift stopper to
shut disposer off.
D. Run disposer for 25 seconds
after shredding stops.
This assures that all waste is
thoroughly flushed through trap
and drain.
E. To fill sink, insert stopper so that
largest slot lines up with switch
plunger (see 6D). Stopper can
now be pushed down to seal
sink without actuating disposer.
When medium sized slot (see 6C)
in stopper base is lined up with
the switch plunger, water can
drain, but tableware, etc.,
cannot be accidentally dropped
into disposer.
A. Press firmly around the Hush Cushion® to ensure
it is engaged with the neck of the disposer.
B. Lubricate the top inside lip of the rubber Hush
Cushion® with a liquid soap.
C. Line up discharge elbow of disposer with trap
under mounting assembly. Guide disposer up and
engage the groove of the Hush Cushion® around
the ridge at the bottom of the sink flange (see 5E
& refer back to 3B). While still supporting the dis-
poser, tighten the screw-clamp around Hush
Cushion®. The disposer will now hang by itself.
D. f you need to turn the disposer make sure the sink
flange does not turn. t will break the seal created
when installed. Go back to steps 5A and 5B.
IMP RTANT – PLEASE READ
Do not remove clamp from Hush Cushion® or
Hush Cushion® from hopper. Both parts are factory
installed and installation ready.
Lubricate top angled surface of
rubber Hush Cushion® with liquid
soap prior to engaging disposer
to sink flange. Fit Hush Cushion®
lip into sink flange groove using a
slight rocking motion. Tighten
clamp (see 5F).

Before seeking repair or replacement, we recommend that you review the following:
L UD N ISES (Other than those during grinding of bones and fruit pits): These are usually caused by
accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign object. To correct this, turn off disposer and water. After
disposer has stopped, remove *splash guard, remove object with long handled tongs, and replace *splash guard.
UNIT D ES N T START: Unplug power cord or turn either the wall switch or breaker box switch to “off”
position, depending on your model and wiring configuration. With *splash guard removed, check to see if
turntable will rotate freely using a broom handle. f turntable rotates freely, replace *splash guard and check
reset button to see if it has been tripped. Reset button is red and located opposite discharge elbow, near the
bottom (see 7A). Push button in until it clicks and remains depressed.
f reset button has not been tripped, check for shorted or broken wire connecting to disposer. Check
electrical power switch, fuse box or circuit breaker. f wiring and electrical components are intact, the unit may
have internal problems that require service or replacement.
IF TURNTABLE D ES N T R TATE FREELY: Check for foreign object lodged between the turntable and grind
ring. Dislodge object by rotating table with a broom handle and remove object (see 7B). f no foreign object is
present, there may be internal problems.
LEAKS: f the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:
1. mproper seating of sink flange (gasket choice, putty or tightening.)
2. Support ring not tightened properly.
3. Defective cushion mount.
f unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due to improper tightening of elbow flange screws.
*Splash guard is not used with Batch Feed units.

TIPS - Helpful Hints
1.Be sure disposer is empty
before using your dishwasher so
it may drain properly.
2. You may want to leave the stop-
per in the drain when not in use
to prevent utensils and foreign
objects from falling into the dis-
poser.
3. Use it wisely! Your disposer is
ruggedly built to give you years
and years of trouble-free serv-
ice. t 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, rubber,
string, feathers, clam or oyster
shells, or stringy or fibrous food
waste. These are waste materi-
als and belong in the trash can
or trash compactor – not inside
your food waste disposer.
4. Use your disposer “before”
and “after” meals! While
preparing food, turn on your
disposer and the cold water,
clearing your sink of vegetable
peelings, or salad trimmings.
When the meal is over, scrape
food scraps directly into the
disposer.
5. TO SPEED UP FOOD WASTE
D SPOSAL... Cut or break up
large bones, melon rinds,
grapefruit skins, corn cobs.
tems 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 compactor.

8CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The motor is permanently lubricated for life. D N T ATTEMPT T LUBRICATE Y UR DISP SER!
The disposer is self cleaning and scours itself with each use.
Your disposer is equipped with a removable **splash guard for ease of cleaning or replacement. Remove splash guard by pulling it out
from the top. To replace, simply insert into sink flange and push down until properly seated.
NEVER put lye or chemical drain cleaners into the disposer, as they cause serious corrosion of metal parts. f used, resulting damage can
be easily detected and all warranties are void.
Mineral deposits from your water can form on the stainless steel turntable of your disposer, giving the appearance of rust. D N T BE
ALARMED, the stainless steel turntables used on PM2S2, PM2L7, PM2A, PM3, PM4, and Batch Feed models will not corrode.
