Viking VCFW1000 Installation Instructions - Page 4

Connect Disposer to Electrical Supply/Ground Disposer Follow these instructions to direct wire the disposer. 1. Remove electrical cover plate from bottom of disposer and pull out black and white wires (see Figure 9-1). DO NOT REMOVE CARDBOARD INSULATION SHIELD. 2. Run electrical cable through access hole (A) on bottom of disposer (with 1/2 inch [1.3 cm] conduit or 3/8 inch [0.9 cm] flex) and secure with clamp connector. 3. Strip wires back approximately 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Connect white (neutral) electrical wire to white disposer wire, and black (hot) electrical wire to black disposer wire (may have colored stripe) with wire nuts (see Figure 9-1). Insulate wire connections with electrical tape, and push connections into disposer housing without displacing cardboard insulation shield. Do not reinstall electrical plate until disposer is properly grounded. Once the circuit you are using is grounded at the service panel, attach the ground wire to the green ground screw (B) in the electrical cover plate opening and secure the electrical plate (C) (see Figure 9-1). WARNING Electric Shock •Disconnect electrical power at fuse box or circuit breaker before installing or servicing disposer. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. * *Install a standard wire clamp (not supplied) into the opening on the bottom of the disposer Grounding Instructions This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. 10 CONNECT DISPOSER TO MOUNTING ASSEMBLY Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting the disposer. CAUTION Personal Injury Do not position your head or body under disposer; unit could fall during installation. 1. Position disposer with three mounting tabs (A) aligned in position to slide over mounting tracks (B) (see Figure 10-1). 11 ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN CAUTION Property Damage Do not use thread sealants or pipe dope; they may harm the disposer and cause property damage. One-Bolt Discharge Tube Installation 1. Slide metal flange (A) over discharge tube (B) (see Figure 11-1). 2. Rubber gasket (C) must be installed on top end of discharge tube. Secure metal flange and Discharge tube to disposer with bolt (D). 3. Rotate disposer so that discharge tube is aligned with drain trap. (To prevent leaks, do not pull or bend discharge tube to drain trap.) If discharge tube is too long, cut off as much of tube as necessary with hacksaw (make sure cut is straight and clean.) If discharge tube is too short, you can purchase an extension from a hardware store. (Disposer must remain in vertical position to prevent vibration.) 4. Place P-trap nut, then beveled washer (not supplied) on bottom of discharge tube and tighten on drain trap. (If you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides.) 5. Ensure lower mounting ring is securely locked over mounting flange ridges. Although the supplied discharge tube is preferred, a straight discharge may be used. Slide metal flange over straight discharge tube (not supplied), install rubber gasket onto discharge tube, and secure metal flange and straight discharge tube to disposer with one bolt (see Figure 11-2). 12 CONNECT DISHWASHER DRAIN (IF APPLICABLE) In some areas, codes require that the dishwasher be connected to the disposer through an air gap (A). (See Figure 12-1) (An air gap prevents waste water backflow and/or dishwasher contamination.) Ensure knockout plug is removed (see Instruction 8). Plumbing connections must comply with local plumbing codes. •If you have a 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) ID 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 dishwasher drain hose (for drain hose other than 7/8 inch [2.2 cm] ID diameter), use a hose clamp to attach the drain hose/connector to the dishwasher inlet on the disposer. 11-1 B 11-2 A 2. Lift disposer, insert top end (mounting gasket) into mounting assembly, and turn lower mounting ring to right (with wrenchette or screwdriver) until mounting tabs lock over ridges (C) on mounting ring tracks (see Figure 10-2). (MAKE SURE ALL THREE MOUNTING TABS ARE LOCKED OVER RIDGES.) Disposer will now hang by itself. 6 The disposer installation is complete. Using the stopper, fill the sink with water. Remove the stopper, turn disposer on, and check under sink for leaks. Read ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating the disposer. 7
