WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

**** This appliance must be installed, commissioned, and serviced by a qualified person in accordance with national and local regulations in force in the country of installation.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person. Ensure that the plug/socket is accessible at all times.
Strip plastic coating and clean the appliance before use. Disconnect this appliance before servicing, maintenance or cleaning.

DELIVERY

The packaged machine also comes with a Release Key and Wall Plaque. Please notify the carrier and the supplier within 24 hours if anything is missing or damaged. Check that the correct machine has been supplied and that the voltage, marked on the rating plate on the motor, is suitable for the supply and control voltage available.

INTRODUCTION

These machines are intended for the disposal of food waste matter by maceration underwater flow and discharge into the drainage system. Before fitting this appliance ensure that the installation is allowed by the authorities.

INSTALLATION

For the installer:
These instructions contain important information designed to help the user obtain the maximum benefit from the investment in an IMC food waste disposer. Please read them carefully before starting work, and consult the supplier in the event of any queries. Be sure to leave this Instruction Manual with the user after the installation of the machine is complete.

Procedure

The 723 is designed to be fitted into a sink outlet of 83mm in diameter. The 725 is designed to be fitted in replacement of a 525 motor assembly. Please ensure clearance is sufficient to allow install. The 726 is designed to be fitted in replacement for the 526 motor assembly. (For frame modification sees IS775). The wall plaque supplied with the machine should be placed in a prominent position near the machine.
Waste Outlet Connection All 700 Series Disposers have a 2” BSP female threaded outlet which is designed to be connected to 54mm copper or plastic piping. The size of the waste outlet must not be reduced. A running trap should be fitted although ‘P’ or ‘S’ type traps can be used. Do not fit a bottle trap. The length of run between the machine and
the main junction must be kept to a minimum and the pipe must have a positive fall of at least 1 in 7. Changes of direction should be made with swept bends rather than elbows, and cleaning eyes should be fitted where possible, in accordance with standard plumbing practice.

The waste outlet position can be rotated at 90° intervals by unbolting the waste outlet casting from the hopper flange plate. Rotate the motor and waste outlet casting to the required orientation. Check that the gasket between the waste outlet casting and the flange plate is in place. Refit the nuts and bolts and tighten uniformly all around. Do not overtighten, but ensure that the gasket is nipped firmly and the hopper is rigidly fixed without any distortion of its bottom flange.
All Waste Disposers must have an independent drain pipe that does not also serve sinks, dishwashers or similar equipment. The end of the waste pipe must be beyond any grease traps and if the outlet feeds into an outside gully, the pipe should enter the gully below the covering grid. Use a back entry yard gully.
When fitting the trap make certain that the top invert of the trap lies below the waste outlet of the waste disposer. Failure to do this will prevent the machine from draining completely. In case of difficulty contact your supplier or Lincat.

WATER SUPPLY

A cold water supply with a minimum head of 0.2 to 10 bar is required. This is connected to the units at the water control valve using a 15mm compression joint, supplied with the machine. A stopcock should be fitted to the water supply.

These machines have approval from the Water Research Centre to be connected to a potable water supply via a Class A air break or for connection to a storage cistern by a distributing pipe to which no fittings for other purposes are connected. Lincat can supply Class A air brake parts if required.

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CONNECTION

All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and in accordance with the IET Codes of Practice. Examine the rating plate attached to the motor to ensure that the characteristics shown are correct for the supply available. The cables fitted to the controller are the minimum required for individual connection to the main supply. Site conditions may vary with an additional length of the cable run, encapsulation in trunking, bunched with other cables, etc. Should this apply, the electrician must alter the cable accordingly.

All machines are supplied with an RCD and starter/control box with forward, reverse and stop buttons. The starter also controls the water flow. This unit must be connected to the mains supply using the starter provided. Omission of the starter eliminates overload protection for the motor and will invalidate the guarantee.

The 700 Series Disposers should be connected to the 30A isolator provided (which has at least 3mm separation in all poles). The table below illustrates typical fuse ratings for an ambient temperature of 25°C to 35°C. Should the environment temperature be greater than this, de-rate accordingly?

Unit| Voltage| Full Load Current| Fuse Rating per
Phase
---|---|---|---
700| 400-3-50| 2.8 Amps| 5 Amps
| 230-1-50| 7.4 Amps| 15 Amps

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

If the supply cord becomes damaged it must be replaced by a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.

COMMISSIONING

1. Turn on the water supply, and check for leaks in the supply pipework.
2. Switch on the electricity supply.
3. Press one of the start buttons the unit will start and water flow into the disposer. Press the red button to stop the machine. All models are reversing and have two start buttons, one for each direction (check them both).
4. Inspect the waste piping for leaks. Adjust the water supply control valve to achieve the desired flow rate. Maximum flow is with the handle in line with the pipe.
5. Feed a small amount of food into the disposer to check that there are no obstructions in the waste pipe.
6. With the machine, running unscrews the hopper baffle knob. The machine will switch itself off. By the time the knob of fully unscrewed and the baffle has been removed the rotor in the grinding chamber will have stopped.

USAGE

The 700 series disposers are designed for the disposal of food waste. Fat can be safely disposed of provided that it has solidified. Non-food waste may also be disposed of in small quantities providing they are mixed in with the food waste.
**** DO NOT PUT CLING FILM, LIQUID FAT, STRING, CLOTH, PLASTIC, WIRE, GLASS, CORK, STYROFOAM, OR METAL OBJECTS INTO THE DISPOSER.
Do not introduce waste into the machine unless it is running. More efficient disposal will be obtained by introducing mixed rather than accumulating and introducing waste of a similar nature into the disposer.

OPERATION

723 Disposer

1. Turn on the cold water tap to medium flow.
2. Press the START button. NOTE units are reversing and have two start buttons, one for each direction, use them alternately.
3. Feed-in the food waste and leave the machine running until the noise of grinding ceases.
4. Allow running for 20-30 seconds longer to ensure thorough flushing through.
5. Press the red STOP button and turn off the tap.

NOTE: The unit should not be run without the water supply turned on! 725 and 726 Series Disposers

1. Close the baffle and screw the interlock knob fully down.

2. Take out any bulk waste in the baffle chamber. Rubber gloves are recommended.

3. Lower the release wrench through the aperture in the baffles and locate between the hexagonal boss on the center of the rotor and the vane of the rotor. Exert pressure in both directions until the jammed material releases.

4. Remove the release wrench.

5. Switch on at the mains isolating switch.

6. Press the START button and continue disposal.

725 and 726 Series Disposers

1. Switch off at the mains isolating switch.
2. Remove the baffle by unscrewing the interlock knob and lifting it off.
3. Take out any bulk waste in the disposal chamber. Rubber gloves are recommended. If the item which blocked the disposer is apparent, remove it.
4. Place the hexagon socket of the release wrench over the central hexagonal boss on the rotor and lever backward and forwards until the jammed material releases. Remove the release wrench and pull out the material.
5. Replace the wrench and ensure that the rotor is totally free throughout its full rotation. Remove the release wrench.
6. Replace the baffle, screwing the interlock knob fully home.
7. Switch on at the mains isolating switch.
