Specifications
Air Switch (Evolution 200, Evolution 100, Model 65, 
Model 55-1B A/S, 55-3B A/S and 45-1B A/S): 
The Evolution 200, Evolution 100, and Model 65 disposers include a 
built-in air switch (Satin Nickel and Chrome finishes). An air switch 
activates/turns off the unit by sending a pulse of air to the control box.  
AIR SWITCH INSTALLATION
The air switch includes two different button finishes. If you wish to 
change the button finish (optional), simply pry off the existing button 
and snap the other button finish 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 screw up 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 firmly 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 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.

TO RESET
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 qualified 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 is not intended for use by persons (including 
  children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, 
  or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given 
  supervision or instruction concerning use of appliance by a person  
  responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to 
  ensure that they do not play with disposer. To reduce the risk of 
  injury, close supervision is required when an appliance is used 
  near children. 
• 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 disposers without the sound 
  baffle 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 baffle/mounting gasket/splash baffle 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 fingers into disposer.
• FIRE HAZARD: Do not store flammable items such as rags, paper,  
  or aerosol cans near disposer. Do not store or use gasoline or other 
  flammable vapors and liquids in vicinity of disposer.
• Do not dispose of the following in the disposer: paints, solvents, 
  household cleaners and chemicals, automotive fluids, plastic wrap.
•  Don’t fill disposer with a lot of vegetable peels all at once. Instead, turn 
  the water and disposer on first and then feed the peels 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!
CLEANING DISPOSER
Over time, grease/food particles may accumulate in the grind 
chamber and baffle, 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 
  baffle and inside upper lip of grind chamber with scouring pad.
3. Place stopper in sink opening and fill 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.
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 bottom 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 disposer bottom (see Figure 12.6). (If

Any additional socket should be fitted by a qualified electrician and 
properly earthed (grounded). The disposer is fitted with a molded plug 
and cable.
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 200, 
Evolution 100, and Model 65; 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 qualified tradeperson. It 
should be located in a convenient position above the work surface 
with a minimum of 3 mm contact separation between each pole (20 
ADP switches to BS 3676). In New Zealand, please refer to AS/NZS

   PROPERTY DAMAGE
• Wearing safety glasses is recommended during the installation 
  of the food waste disposer.
• All Evolution 200 and Evolution 100 models must be connected 
  to the supplied tailpipe with the supplied spring type hose clamp.  
  (See Figure 10.1) In Australia it is required to use the supplied 
  straight discharge tube with supplied spring type hose clamp. 
  (See Figure 10.2) Failure to use the supplied tubes and spring 
  type hose clamp will void the guarantee and possibly cause 
  premature failure of the Anti-Vibration Tailpipe Mount
™
.
• Do not use plumber’s putty on any other disposer connection 
  other than on sink flange. Do not use thread sealants or pipe 
  dope. These may harm disposer and cause property damage.
• Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for water leaks, 
  as water leaks can cause property damage. Manufacturer cannot  
  be held responsible for property damage as a result of water leaks.
