Installing the waste disposer When INSTALLING the disposer, refer to the EXPLODED VIEW on page 3. The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent or qualified plumber. Before installing a new disposer, inspect waste pipe. Ensure the drain is clear of obstruction before use. If the dishwasher drain pipe is to be connected to the disposer, it will be necessary to remove the knock out plug from the dishwasher discharge inlet on the disposer.
When using a gasket: Insert the sink flange through the sink gasket into sink opening. Do not rotate the sink flange, once it is seated. From underneath the sink, place the fibre gasket over the sink flange and screw the support ring on to the sink flange. Note There are arrows indicating the correct side to face upward. Do not overtighten, the sink flange will not move when tightened securely.
Electrical Connections The disposer is designed to be connected to a 240V 50Hz electricity supply. All electrical installation work should be carried out by a trained electrician or competent person. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility should these safety instructions not be carried out.
Operation 1 Turn on the tap 4 Run the disposer Remove drain plug and turn on a medium flow of cold water. Keep the water running so that any ground waste particles wash through the drain. Before turning the control switch off, let the water and the disposer run for a further 15 seconds after the shredding has stopped. This will help to flush all the waste through the trap and drain. 2 Starting up When you press the control switch the disposer is on and ready for use.
Cleaning and Maintenance Important Do NOT operate the disposer without the splash guard is in place. Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply. Cleaning The disposer is self-cleaning, but you can flush it by filling the sink with cold water, turning on the disposer and removing the plug. While the water is draining through the disposer, allow the tap to continue running. When the sink is empty, your disposer will be clean.
