the stopper, turn disposer on, and check under sink for leaks. Read ALL SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS on the next page before operating the disposer.
CONNECT DISHWASHER DRAIN (IF APPLICABLE)
Connect the dishwasher to the disposer through an air gap (A). (Most
dishwasher manufacturers recommend that the discharge water runs through
an air gap to prevent backow and/or dishwasher contamination.) Ensure
knockout plug is removed (see Instruction 1). Plumbing connections must
comply with local plumbing codes.
• If you have a 7/8" 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 dish-
washer drain hose (for drain hose other than 7/8" diameter), use a hose
clamp to attach the drain hose/connector to the dishwasher inlet on the
disposer.

The disposer specication decal has a removable portion to place on the front
side of the installed disposer, containing important information in the event
service is required.
