When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■
■
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■
■
Read all the instructions before using the
appliance.
■
■
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision
is required when an appliance is used near
children.
■
■
Do not put fingers or hands into a waste
disposer.
■
■
Turn the power switch (normally a wall switch)
to the off position before attempting to clear
a jam or remove an object from the disposer.
■
■
When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste
disposer, use a long wooden object such as
a wooden spoon or the wooden handle of
a broom or mop.
■
■
When attempting to remove objects from
a waste disposer, only use long-handled,
non-magnetic tools or utensils, since the
disposer may be actuated magnetically.
■
■
To reduce the risk of injury by materials that may
be expelled by a waste disposer, do not put the
following into a disposer:
a) Clam or oyster shells.
b) Caustic drain cleaners or similar products.
c) Glass, china or plastic.
d) Large whole bones.
e) Metal, such as bottle caps, tin cans, utensils
or aluminum foil.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
If you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician.
DANGER:
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the appliance if it will not fit
the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For Models Equipped with a Grounded Cord:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must
be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
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 outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Most houses have electrical outlets
under the sink that are half-hot. This 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 the switch side.
