Instruction Sheet
This kit is designed for use where it is desired to attach a 3-wire line cord
with plug to an InSinkErator household disposer. It is necessary to have a
3-wire grounded receptacle within 3 feet of the disposer installation. If the
receptacle is not properly located, make sure a receptacle is installed by a
qualified electrician.
Tools required: Screwdriver (1/4″ flat blade), electrical tape
Parts supplied in kit
Lower End Frame
- Terminal Plate
- Terminal Plate Screw
- Romex Connector Hole
- Splice Compartment (green ground screw is in splice compartment)
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Turn off electrical power at fuse box or circuit breaker before assembling. Do not plug unit to power supply until properly completing all assembly steps.
-
Loosen terminal plate screw and remove terminal plate to expose splice compartment located on bottom of disposer. (Figure 1)
Note: DO NOT remove insulation shield from splice compartment. -
Reach in splice compartment and extend the black and white wires.
-
Keep nut on Romex connector. Tighten nut on Romex connector until nut lays against the connector shoulder. Screw the Romex connector threaded barrel into the lower end frame and then tighten Romex connector nut against lower end frame.
-
Loosen the two screws on the Romex connector and insert the cord. Reach into the splice compartment and guide the cord into the splice compartment. Make sure the cord is pushed in such that the Romex connector cord clamp with clamp on the outer insulation encases the cord. Tighten the two slotted screws until the clamp is tight. Check to see that a strong pull on the cord will not cause the cord to slip in the Romex connector.
WARNING
When securing wire connections with the wire nuts, check to insure that all wire strands are enclosed by the wire nuts before wrapping connection with electrical tape. -
From the Power Cord Kit, connect the power supply wire with the ribs to the disposer white wire. Connect the smooth black power cord wire to the disposer black wire. Tighten supplied wire nuts securely and then wrap with electrical tape.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. If you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the cord – if it will not fit the receptacle, have a proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. DO NOT use an extension cord. -
Fasten ring terminal on the green ground wire to the green ground screw (E G) in the splice compartment. Tighten green ground screw securely.
-
Place all wires inside the splice compartment.
-
Replace terminal plate and tighten the terminal plate screw.
