PREPARE DISHWASHER DRAIN CONNECTION (IF APPLICABLE)8

CONNECT DISPOSER TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY9

The knockout drain plug should only be removed if you are connecting a built-in dishwasher to the disposer. NOTE: If the dishwasher connection is made without removing the plug, the dishwasher may overflow. (Connections must comply with local plumbing codes.)

Remove Knockout Plug 1. Lay disposer on its side and insert screwdriver into dishwasher inlet so tip rests on

outer edge of knockout plug. 2. Tap end of screwdriver handle with hammer until molded plug breaks loose (see Fig-

ure 8-1). 3. REMOVE LOOSE KNOCKOUT PLUG FROM INSIDE DISPOSER.

Attach Dishwasher Drain Connector If your dishwasher drain hose is 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) ID diameter, go to Instruction 9. If your dishwasher drain hose is not 7/8 inch (2.2 cm ) ID diameter, you must attach a dishwasher drain connector to the dishwasher drain inlet. Follow the installation instruc- tions with the connection kit. (You will connect the dishwasher drain hose to the con- nector in Instruction 12.)

If you are not connecting a dishwasher to disposer, go to Instruction 9.

Disposer Circuit Requirements Ensure the following electrical requirements are met before connecting disposer to switch (see Figure 9-1 for typical direct wired electrical circuit diagram): Remove fuse (or open the circuit breaker) before connecting disposer to circuit. If junction box is used, connect the junction box to the switch on a separate 15 Amp, 120 Volt AC circuit with the appropriate cable. (Use 14 gauge wire with 15 Amp circuit).

If you install a double receptacle to handle other small kitchen appliances, include a wall switch in disposer receptacle circuit and wire other receptacle directly to power source.

This disposer requires a switch with a marked "Off" position (wired to disconnect all ungrounded supply conductors) installed within sight of the disposer sink opening (1 HP minimum rating).

WARNING Electric Shock

Disconnect electrical power at fuse box or circuit breaker before installing or servicing disposer. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Connect Disposer to Electrical Supply/Ground Disposer Follow these instructions to direct wire the disposer. 1. Remove electrical cover plate from bottom of disposer and pull out

black and white wires (see Figure 9-1). DO NOT REMOVE CARD- BOARD INSULATION SHIELD.

2. Run electrical cable through access hole (A) on bottom of disposer (with 1/2 inch [1.3 cm] conduit or 3/8 inch [0.9 cm] flex) and secure with clamp connector.

3. Strip wires back approximately 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Connect white (neu- tral) electrical wire to white disposer wire, and black (hot) electrical wire to black disposer wire (may have colored stripe) with wire nuts (see Fig- ure 9-1). Insulate wire connections with electrical tape, and push con- nections into disposer housing without displacing cardboard insulation shield. Do not reinstall electrical plate until disposer is properly grounded.

Once the circuit you are using is grounded at the service panel, attach the ground wire to the green ground screw (B) in the electrical cover plate opening and secure the electrical plate (C) (see Figure 9-1).

Grounding Instructions This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

*Install a standard wire clamp (not supplied) into the opening on the bottom of the disposer

WARNING Electric Shock

Disconnect electrical power at fuse box or circuit breaker before installing or servicing disposer. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

CONNECT DISPOSER TO MOUNTING ASSEMBLY10 Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting the disposer.

1. Position disposer with three mounting tabs (A) aligned in position to slide over mounting tracks (B) (see Figure 10-1).

2. Lift disposer, insert top end (mounting gasket) into mounting assembly, and turn lower mounting ring to right (with wrenchette or screwdriver) until mounting tabs lock over ridges (C) on mounting ring tracks (see Figure 10-2). (MAKE SURE ALL THREE MOUNTING TABS ARE LOCKED OVER RIDGES.) Disposer will now hang by itself.

CAUTION Personal Injury

Do not position your head or body under disposer; unit could fall during installa- tion.

ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN11

CONNECT DISHWASHER DRAIN (IF APPLICABLE)12

One-Bolt Discharge Tube Installation 1. Slide metal flange (A) over discharge tube (B) (see Figure 11-1). 2. Rubber gasket (C) must be installed on top end of discharge tube. Secure metal flange and

Discharge tube to disposer with bolt (D). 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 long, cut off as much of tube as necessary with hacksaw (make sure cut is straight and clean.) If discharge tube is too short, you can purchase an extension from a hardware store. (Disposer must remain in vertical position to prevent vibration.)

4. Place P-trap nut, then beveled washer (not supplied) on bottom of discharge tube and tighten on drain trap. (If you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides.)

5. Ensure lower mounting ring is securely locked over mounting flange ridges.

Although the supplied discharge tube is preferred, a straight discharge may be used. Slide metal flange over straight discharge tube (not supplied), install rubber gasket onto discharge tube, and secure metal flange and straight discharge tube to disposer with one bolt (see Figure 11-2).

In some areas, codes require that the dishwasher be connected to the disposer through an air gap (A). (See Figure 12-1) (An air gap prevents waste water backflow and/or dishwasher contamination.) Ensure knockout plug is removed (see Instruction 8). Plumbing connections must comply with local plumbing codes.

If you have a 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) ID diameter dishwasher drain hose, use a hose clamp to attach the drain hose to the dishwasher inlet. (Verify that hose you are using is rated for dishwasher use.)

If you have already attached a dishwasher drain connector to your dishwasher drain hose (for drain hose other than 7/8 inch [2.2 cm] ID diameter), use a hose clamp to at- tach the drain hose/connector to the dishwasher inlet on the disposer.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

When using electric appliances, basic precautions are always to be followed, including: Read all instructions before using the disposer. 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 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 the Jami-nator Button (model 1000) or the self-service wrenchette as described below.

When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposer, use long-handled tongs or pliers. To reduce the risk of injury by materials that are expellable by a waste disposer, do not put the following into a dis- poser:

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, or utensils) f) Hot grease or other hot liquids.

When not operating the disposer, leave the drain cover in place to reduce the risk of objects falling into the disposer. This product is designed to dispose of normal household food waste; inserting materials other than food waste into dis- poser is not recommended. To reduce the risk of injury, do not use the sink containing the disposer for purposes other than food preparation (such as baby bathing or washing hair).

Do not dispose of the following in the disposer: paints, solvents, household cleaners and chemicals, automotive fluids, or gasoline.

Replace anti-splash baffle when worn to help prevent entry or ejection of material and splashing water. Before pressing reset button, attempting to clear jam, or removing objects from inside disposer, make sure disposer power switch is turned off.

FIRE HAZARD: Do not store flammable items such as rags, paper, or aerosol cans near disposer. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in vicinity of disposer.

WARNING

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUOUS FEED MODELS Continuous feed disposers have a one-piece cover/stopper that acts only as a seal. A wall switch is used to turn the disposer on or off. To SEAL the cover for holding water in the sink, press the cover firmly in the disposer opening. CAUTION: Do not oper- ate the disposer with the cover in the SEAL position.

To Operate Disposer: 1. Remove the cover from sink opening and turn on a good flow of COLD water. (Cold

water hardens greasy substances, making it easy to grind them into tiny particles. Unlike hot water, cold water keeps grease from sticking to the drain lines.) It is important and absolutely necessary that cold water flows into the disposer while it is in operation. NEVER USE HOT WATER. If you have a double sink, make sure the faucet points to the side where the disposer is installed.

2. Turn the wall switch to ON position. 3. Scrape food waste into disposer opening. The splash guard will reduce splashing. Mix soft and hard food waste items

for most efficient grinding. 4. Allow both the disposer and cold water to run for about 30 seconds after grinding action is completed. This will assure

that any bone slivers or other hard objects that could cause jams are flushed from the grind chamber. This will also as- sure proper flushing of the external drain line.

5. Turn the wall switch to OFF position.

DONT... Dont pour grease or fat down your disposer or any drain. It can build up in pipes and cause drain blockages. Put grease in a jar or can and dispose in the trash.

Dont use HOT WATER when grinding food waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the disposer between grinding periods.

Dont fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels in gradu- ally.

Dont turn off disposer until grinding is completed and only sound of motor and water is heard.

Dont be alarmed if a brown discoloration appears on the face of the grind wheel. This is normal. It is surface discoloration only and will not affect the life or performance of the disposer.

DO... First turn on a moderate to strong flow of COLD WATER and then turn on the disposer. Continue running cold water for 15 seconds after grinding is completed to flush the drain line.

Grind hard materials such as small bones, fruit pits, and ice. A scouring action is created by the particles inside the grind chamber.

Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain smells.

Grind extremely fibrous materials like corn husks, arti- chokes, etc.

Use a disposer cleaner, degreaser, or deodorizer as neces- sary to relieve objectionable odors caused by grease buildup.

WHAT CAN BE PUT IN YOUR DISPOSER Your disposer is designed to dispose of food wastes including bones, fruit and vegetable wastes, pits, egg shells, and coffee grounds. Large pieces of food waste like melon rinds should be cut into smaller pieces before being put into the disposer. Do not put items like glass, china, metal, tin cans, bottle caps, or oyster and clam shells into the disposer. These items belong in the trash. Damage may result to both disposer and drain system if this type of trash is placed in disposer.

SEPTIC TANKS AND DISPOSERS Food waste disposers can definitely be used with septic tanks. In fact, 20% of all disposers in use discharge their ground waste into a septic tank. Food wastes from a disposer are actually beneficial to the bacterial acton which occurs in a septic tank. There are, how- ever, some items which are normally ground in a disposer which should not be if connected to a septic tank. These inorganic materi- als, which are not bacteria digestible, are shells from eggs, shrimp, crabs, lobsters, or the like. Clam and oyster shells should not be ground in any disposer. Putting those items through a disposer will cause the tank to fill quicker and require cleaning more often.

Recommended guidelines to accommodate all home usage including water bearing appliances like, clothes washers, dishwashers, and disposers are:

Number of People in House Recommended Tank Capacity 2 to 3 750 gallons 4 to 5 1000 gallons 6 or more 1500 gallons

In most cases, if there are no current septic tank problems, the addition of a disposer will not cause any problems. Many consider the installation of a disposer like adding a new member to the family as it simply causes the tank to be cleaned about 10% more often - every 6 to 7 years instead of every 7 to 8 years.

The best disposer for a septic tank is one which grinds the food into fine particles and adds as little water as possible. The VIKING grind system is super fast and extremely efficient and is especially well suited to installation with a septic tank.

CAUTION

Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for water leaks, as water leaks can cause property damage. Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for property damage as a result of water leaks.

10 11

USER - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CLEANING DISPOSER Over time, food particles may accumulate in the grind chamber and baffle. An odor from the disposer is usually a sign of grease and food buildup, caused by insufficient water flow during and after disposer use. To clean disposer: 1. Turn off disposer and disconnect power supply. 2. Reach through sink opening and clean underside of splash baffle and inside upper lip of grind chamber with scouring

pad. 3. Place stopper in sink opening and fill sink halfway with warm water. 4. Mix 1/4 cup (.06 L) baking soda with water. Turn disposer on and remove stopper from sink at same time to wash away

loose particles.

WHAT IF YOUR DISPOSER JAMS Jams of any nature are not considered a product deficiency and are not covered by in-warranty service or labor. Each time the disposer is operated, the grind wheel moves in the opposite direction for greater efficiency and longer grinding ele- ment life. Should the disposer become jammed, the reversing action will help clear many jams.

If your disposer appears to be jammed, the grind wheel inside the upper housing will not turn freely. Check the following procedure for each model before calling your dealer and possibly save the cost of a service call. Note: These disposers are equipped with built-in overload protection. If disposer is jammed for more than 30 seconds, an overload protector auto- matically cuts off current to the motor, preventing motor damage. See below for instructions on how to reset.

Procedure for releasing jam: 1. Each time the disposer is operated, the grind wheel moves in the opposite direction. Should the disposer become

jammed, the reversing action will help clear many jams. Flip the wall switch off and on. Repeat several times if neces- sary to clear the jam.

2. The exclusive Power Plus Jam-inatorTM button, (only available on 1000 model), uses a solid state control to vibrate the grind wheel back and forth 7000 times per minute. (See Figure B) This will eliminate almost any jam instantly. When a difficult jam occurs, follow these steps:

-Make sure the wall switch is in the ON position and the disposer is hum- ming.

-Press the Jam-inator button on the front side of the disposer and release - DO NOT HOLD.

-If the disposer is still jammed, repeat pressing and releasing the button until the disposer runs.

Figure B

3. If the disposer is still jammed, turn off disposer and water. Insert one end of self- service wrenchette into center hole on bottom of disposer (see Figure C). Work wrenchette back and forth until it turns one full revolution. Remove wrenchette.

4. Reach into disposer with tongs and remove object(s). Allow disposer motor to cool for 3 - 5 minutes and lightly push red reset button on the disposer bottom (see Fig- ure C). (If motor remains inoperative, check service panel for tripped circuit break- ers or blown fuses.)

If the disposer is jammed too long (approximately 9 seconds), the thermal overload protector will stop the motor (the motor will not hum). Wait 3 to 5 minutes, then press the red reset button on the bottom of the disposer. If disposer has been running for an extended period of time, you may have to wait 20 to 25 minutes for the motor to cool before pressing the red reset button. Lightly push red reset button on bottom of the disposer.

Operation With the Dishwasher If your dishwasher drains through your disposer, run the disposer for a short time before starting the dishwasher. This will ensure that the disposer is free of any food waste. Such waste could cause a backup of the discharge water from the dishwasher. DO NOT OPERATE THE DISPOSER WHILE THE DISHWASHER IS IN OPERATION. After operating the dish- washer, run the disposer for a short time to clean and flush all particles discharged by the dishwasher into the disposer down the main drain line.

When the dishwasher is in operation, we recommend the cover be placed in the DRAIN position. The will eliminate the possibility of water splash out.

Use Energy Wisely A food waste disposer uses a negligible amount of energy. Total energy requirements associated with operating a food waste disposer will be minimized by following the recommendations in this manual.

CAUTION Personal Injury

To prevent personal injury, turn disposer off before attempting to clear jams.

Figure C

If your disposer should fail to operate: 1. Is the grind wheel jammed? Make sure grind wheel is free to rotate. 2. Is the circuit breaker open, or is fuse blown? 3. Is the disposer wall switch turned ON?
