2. Electrical Supply
This disposer is rated at 220–240V~, 50/60 Hz and should be connected to a main distribution board or
consumer unit.
Always use a qualified electrician for all installations.
FOR MODELS WITH PROVIDED PRE-WIRED MOULDED PLUG AND LEAD (SEE 2A)
This disposer is designed to be connected to a 220–240V~-50/60Hz electrical supply through a three-pin plug
and socket. The disposer must be protected by a BS 1362 13 Amp fuse. This is already supplied in the moulded
plug and lead, attached to the disposer.
For Batch Feed Models:
Simply plug the disposer into a 13 Amp plug socket, located conveniently below the sink.
For Continuous Feed Models:
Connect to air switch provided or alternatively use the same 13 Amp plug socket for the batch feed models,
except switch the supply to this socket with a 13 Amp double pole switched spur. This spur switch should be
situated conveniently above the work surface, at least a metre away from the side of the sink unit, away from
splashes and out of reach of children. The spur switch used must be a double pole type with at least 3mm
contact separation in each pole (20 Amp DP switches to BS 3676 meet this requirement).
To help prevent accidentally leaving the disposer running, a switch with a neon indicator lamp is advised. A 13
Amp ASTA approved fuse, to BS 1362, must be fitted in the fuse carrier of this spur switch.
Electrical connections:
If your disposer was manufactured with a prewired moulded plug and lead, simply insert the plug into the socket.
