Frigidaire Garbage Disposal 560C525P02 User Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Before seeking repair or replacement, we recommend that you review the following:  
LOUD NOISES: (Other than those during grinding of  
small bones and fruit pits): These are usually caused by  
accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign  
object. To correct this, turn off electrical switch and water.  
After disposer has stopped, remove *splash guard, remove  
object with long handled tongs, and replace *splash guard.  
IF TURNTABLE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELY:  
Turn off disposer, then check for any foreign object lodged  
between the turntable and grind ring. Dislodge object by  
rotating table with a wooden broom handle and remove  
object. (see 8B) If no foreign object is present, there may  
be internal problems.  
UNIT DOES NOT START: Unplug power cord or turn  
either the wall switch or breaker box switch to “OFF”  
LEAKS: If the unit leaks at the top, it may be due to:  
1. Improper seating of sink flange (gasket centering, putty  
or tightening).  
2. Support ring not tightened properly.  
3. Defective or improperly installed cushion mount.  
position, depending on your model and wiring configuration.  
Remove stopper and/or *splash guard. Check to see if  
turntable will rotate freely using a wooden broom handle. If  
turntable rotates freely, replace *splash guard and check re-  
set button to see if it has been tripped. Re-set button is red  
and located opposite discharge elbow, near the bottom (see  
8A). Push button in until it clicks and remains depressed.  
If unit leaks at the waste elbow, leak may be due to im-  
proper tightening of elbow flange screws.  
8A  
8B  
If re-set button has not been tripped, check for shorted or  
broken wire connecting to disposer. Check electrical power  
switch, fuse box or circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical  
components are intact, the unit may have internal problems  
that require service or replacement.  
*Splash guard not used on Top Control/Batch Feed unit.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE YOUR DISPOSER!  
The motor is permanently lubricated. The disposer is self  
cleaning and scours its internal parts with each use.  
Mineral deposits from your water can form on the stainless  
steel turntable, giving the appearance of rust. DO NOT BE  
ALARMED, the stainless steel turntables used will not  
corrode.  
NEVER put lye or chemical drain cleaners into the disposer,  
as they cause serious corrosion of metal parts. If used,  
resulting damage can be easily detected an all warranties  
are void.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
Note: if you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician.  
Warning: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check  
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not  
modify the plug provided with the appliance if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
Warning: When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is neces-  
sary when an appliance is used near children.  
3. Do not put fingers or hands into a waste disposer.  
4. Turn the power switch to the off position before at-  
tempting to clear a jam or remove an object from the  
disposer.  
7. To reduce the risk of injury by materials that may be  
expelled by a waste disposer, 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, tin cans,  
aluminum foil or utensils; hot grease or other hot  
liquids; whole cornhusks.  
5. When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposer,  
use a long wooden object such as a wooden spoon or  
the wooden handle of a broom or mop.  
8. When not operating a disposer, leave the stopper in  
place to reduce the risks of objects falling onto the  
disposer.  
6. When attempting to remove objects from a waste  
disposer use long-handled tongs or pliers. If the dis-  
poser is magnetically actuated, non-magnetic tools  
should be used.  
9. DO NOT operate disposer unless splash guard is in  
place. (Does not apply to the Top Control/Batch Feed  
units.)  
10. For proper grounding instructions see the ELECTRICAL  
CONNECTION portion of this manual.

REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT  
TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS, YOUR MODEL MAY VARY  
Caution: Be sure to support the disposer while  
perfomring this step or it may fall when the  
mounting ring is disconnected from the mounting  
assembly. If your disposer is hard wired (metal  
shielded cable not utilizing a wall plug), complete  
steps C and D. If you utilize a plug- in cord, go  
on to step E.  
Before starting this step, turn off electrical power  
at the circuit breaker or fuse box.  
If your old mount is the same as the mount on your new  
disposer, just reverse the assembly instructions found in  
section Installation of Mounting Assembly. If your new  
mount system is different, follow these instructions:  
A. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it  
attaches to disposer discharge tube (see A).  
C. When disposer is removed, turn up side down and  
remove electrical cover plate (see D).  
B. Remove disposer from sink flange by turning mount ring  
to the left clockwise (see B). If you are unable to turn  
the mount ring, tap on one of the extensions from the  
ring with a hammer. Some mounting systems have  
tubular extensions. Inserting a screwdiver into on tube  
will provide additional leverage for turning the mount  
ring (see B). Some disposers may require the removal  
or loosening of nuts from the mount screws (see C).  
Some disposers may require the removal of a clamp.  
D. Use screwdriver to remove green ground wire. Remove  
wire nuts from black and white power wires and  
separate disposer wires from power cable wires.  
Loosen screws on cable clamp and separate cable from  
disposer.  
E. To remove remaining mount system from the sink,  
loosen mount screws, push mount ring up. Under it is  
the snap ring. Use screwdriver to pop off ring (see E).  
Remove mount ring, protector ring and gasket from sink  
flange. Some mounts will require the unscrewing of a  
large ring holding the sink flange in place. Pull sink  
flange up through sink and clean off old putty from sink.  
IMPORTANT: Unless you have a new home, this is a  
good time to clean out the trap and drain lines by  
running a drain auger or plumber’s snake before  
installing your new disposer.

DISHWASHER CONNECTION  
If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following  
procedure. If dishwasher is not to be connected go to  
section Installation of Mounting Assembly.  
*AIR GAP  
B
A. Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden dowl),  
knock out entire plug (see A). Do not use a screwdriver  
or sharp instrument. When knockout plug falls into  
disposer, you may remove it or simply grind it up when  
the disposer is used. This will not damage the disposer  
in any way, but may take sometime to grind, over the  
course of several uses. Go to section Installation of  
Mounting Assembly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
The Anti-Jam Swivell Impellers make a clicking sound as they swing into place. This indicates normal operation.  
that the disposer slows down while grinding. The  
disposer is actually increasing torque (grinding power)  
and is operating under normal conditions.  
A. Remove sink stopper. Turn on a medium flow of cold  
water.  
B. Turn switch to ON position; your motor is turning at full  
speed and ready to use.  
C. Scrape in food waste. Down the drain go table scraps,  
peelings, rinds, seeds, pits, small bones and coffee  
grounds. to speed up food waste disposal, cut or break  
up large bones, rinds and cobs. Large bones and fibrous  
husks require considerable grinding time and are more  
easily thrown away with other trash. Do not be alarmed  
D. Before turning disposer off, let water and disposer run  
for approximately 15 seconds after shredding stops.  
This assures that all waste is thoroughly flushed through  
trap and drain.  
E. It is not recommended to use hot water while running  
disposer. Cold water will keep waste and fats solid so  
disposer can flush away particles.
