DON’T...
• DON’T POUR GREASE, OIL 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.
• DON’T use hot water when grinding food
waste. It is OK to drain hot water into the
disposer between grinding periods.
• DON’T turn off water or disposer until
grinding is completed and only sound of
motor and water running is heard.
• DON’T grind brous materials like
corn husks, artichokes, etc., in any
Models 66, 56, 46, BW4, BW3 or BW2 to
avoid possible pipe blockage.
Also avoid grinding animal skins in
these models.
• DON’T grind raw chicken or duck feet in
any disposer.
• DON’T grind non-food waste of anykind.
• DON’T use this appliance to dispose of
hard materials such as glass and metal.
• DON’T ll disposer with a lot of food
waste all at once. Instead, turn the
water and disposer on rst and then
feed the food waste in gradually.
• DON’T waste food. Nearly a quarter
of the food we buy is thrown away
untouched: salad, bread and cakes
and fruit head the list. Three tips to
stop waste and save you money: only
buy, or cook, the portions you need for
the meal; check the fridge and cupboard
for food you haven’t eaten – make it
your next snack or freeze it; and make
sure you leave that food off your next
shopping list!

AIR SWITCH (Evolut ion Models, MODELS 66, 56, BW5, BW4, BW3
and E75)
The Evolution Models, Model 66, Model 56, Model BW5, Model BW4, Model BW3
and Model E75 disposers include a built-in air switch. An air switch activates/
turns off the unit by sending a pulse of air to the control box.
AIR SWITCH INSTALLATION
If you wish to change the button nish (optional), simply pry off the existing
button and snap the other button nish onto the bellows. (See Figure 11.2)
1. Drill a 33 mm wide hole into the kitchen work top, or the corner of the sink
unit, at the most convenient point for use. Some sink units may already
have a suitable hole in them which can be exposed by removing the cap.
2. Remove the nut from the push button bellows, while keeping the stainless
steel washer and rubber gasket in place. Push one end of the PVC tubing
onto the spout of the push button bellows, feed the other end of the tube
through the hole in the work top and through the nut underneath the work
top. (See Figure 11.3)
3. Fit the push button bellows in the hole and then thread the nut underneath
the work top until it is hand tight. . Do not use a wrench to tighten the nut
(See Figure 11.4)
4. Take the other end of the air tube and rmly push it over the spout of the
air switch, which is located on the underside of the waste disposer
(See Figure 11.5).
DISABLING THE AIR SWITCH
The air switch can be disabled if wall switch operation is preferred.
The disposer is shipped with the switch in the “off ” position.
1. Push one end of the PVC tubing provided onto the spout of the push
button bellows. (See Figure 11.3)
2. Take the other end of the air tube and rmly push it over the spout of the
air switch, which is located on the underside of the waste disposer
(See Figure 11.5).
3. Depress the air switch one time until you hear the switch “click.” Remove
and discard the push button bellows and PVC tubing. The disposer may
now be activated by a wall switch.
The disposer installation is complete. Read all operating and safety
instructions in Instruction 12 before operating the disposer.
Lastly, place stopper in sink in close position. Fill sink with water,
remove stopper, turn disposer on and check for leaks.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• If three-prong, ear th (grounded) plug is used, plug must be inserted
into three-hole, earth (grounded) receptacle.
• Do not modify plug provided with unit (if applicable).
• Improper connection of equipment earth (grounded) conductor can
result in electric shock.
• All wiring must comply with local electrical codes.
• Do not attach earth wire (ground wire) to gas supply pipe.
• Do not reconnect electrical current at main service panel until proper
earth (grounded) outlets are installed by a qualied electrician.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied-persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
NOTE: You must have access to a separate circuit wall socket that is
earth (grounded) to main service panel. Any additional socket should
be tted by a qualied electrician and properly earthed (grounded). The
disposer is tted with a power supply cord plug.
ON/OFF CONTROL
There are two types of controls for continuous-feed disposers: a double-
pole switch and an air switch (built in for Evolution Models, Model 66, Model
56, Model BW5, Model BW4, Model BW3 and Model E75; available as an
accessory on all other models).
DOUBLE POLE SWITCH (1):
If a wall switch (not supplied) is required for your installation, it must have
on/off markings and be installed by a qualied tradeperson. It should be
located in a convenient position above the work surface with a minimum of
3 mm contact separation between each pole. In New Zealand, please refer
to AS/NZS 3000:2007 for electrical installation. Connect to a 20 amp earth
(grounded) wall socket (2) using a 20 amp cable. (See Figure 11.1)
See instructions for DISABLING THE AIR SWITCH.

RELEASING DISPOSER JAM
If the motor stops while the disposer is
operating, the disposer may be jammed.
To release jam:
1. Turn disposer power and water off.
2. Insert one end of the self-service
wrenchette into the center hole on the
underside of the disposer (see Figure
12.5). Work the wrenchette back and
forth until it turns one full revolution.
Remove wrenchette.
3. Reach into the disposer with tongs and
remove object(s). Allow the disposer
motor to cool for 3 - 5 minutes and
lightly push red reset button on the
underside of the disposer (see Figure
12.6). (If the motor remains inoperative,
check the service panel for tripped
circuit breakers or blown fuses.)
CLEANING DISPOSER
Over time, grease/food particles may
accumulate in the grind chamber and
bafe, causing an unpleasant odor. To
clean the disposer:
1. Turn off disposer and disconnect
power supply.
2. Reach through sink opening and
clean underside of splash bafe and
inside upper lip of grind chamber with
scouring pad.
3. Place stopper in sink opening and ll
sink halfway with warm water.
4. Mix 60 ml baking soda with water.
Turn disposer on and remove stopper
from sink at same time to wash away
loose particles.
PERSONAL INJURY
Install and route tubing for air switch as such to reliably reduce likelihood
of mechanical damage or stress, allowing proper on/off operation of the
air switch.
When using electronic appliances,
basic precautions are always to be
followed, including:
• In Australia, product may require
approval of the relevant regulator
and/or the sewerage system operator.
• If the air switch or wall switch fails to
shut off or turn on disposer, unplug
power cord plug and contact your
qualied trade person.
• This product is designed to dispose of
normal household food waste;
inserting materials other than food
waste into disposer could cause
personal injury and/or property
damage. 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).
• This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and under
stand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
• When attempting to loosen a jam in
the food waste disposer, switch off or
unplug the appliance before attempting
to free a jammed rotor. Use a self
service wrenchette as described in the
Releasing Disposer Jam section.
• Use long-handled tongs or pliers to
remove objects from disposer.
• To reduce the risk of injury by materials
that are expellable by a waste disposer,
do not operate Evolution or Model BW5
disposers without the sound bafe in
place (see Figure 8.4). Place stopper in
sink opening as shown in Figure 12.2
or 12.4. Do not put the following into a
disposer: clam or oyster shells, caustic
drain cleaners or similar products,
glass, china, or plastic, large (whole)
bones, metal (such as bottle caps, steel
shot, tin cans, or utensils), hot grease or
other hot liquids.
• Replace sound bafe/mounting gasket/
splash bafe when worn to help prevent
entry or ejection of material and water.
• When not using disposer, leave stopper
in place to reduce risk of objects falling
into disposer. Make sure disposer
power switch is turned off.
• Before pressing reset button,
attempting to clear jam, or removing
objects from inside disposer, make sure
disposer power switch is turned off.
• Do not insert hands or ngers
into disposer.
