Configuração e instalação
The InSinkErator Evergrind E101 features a Quick Lock mounting system designed for fast and easy installation, often compatible with existing InSinkErator mounts. This model is a non-corded unit, meaning a power cord accessory kit (sold separately) or direct wiring to an existing electrical connection is required.
Etapas de instalação:
- Preparação: Ensure power to the circuit is off at the breaker. Remove any existing disposer or sink flange. Clean the sink opening thoroughly.
- Montagem: Apply plumber's putty around the sink flange and press it firmly into the sink opening. From underneath the sink, install the fiber gasket, backup flange, and mounting ring. Secure with the snap ring and tighten the mounting screws evenly.
- Conexão elétrica: For non-corded models, connect the disposer's electrical wires to the household wiring or a power cord kit according to local electrical codes. Ensure proper grounding.
- Dishwasher Connection (if applicable): If connecting a dishwasher, remove the knockout plug from the disposer's dishwasher inlet using a screwdriver and hammer.
- Conexão de drenagem: Connect the disposer's discharge tube to the household drain pipe. If replacing an older unit, you may need to adjust or replumb the drain pipes to align with the E101's outlet position.
- Attach Disposer: Align the disposer's three mounting tabs with the mounting ring. Twist the disposer until the tabs lock into place.
- Teste: Restore power, check for leaks, and test the unit with water.
For a visual guide on the installation process, please refer to the video below. Note that the installation of the retaining clip and flange may require assistance to hold components in place.

Instruções de operação
To operate your InSinkErator Evergrind E101 garbage disposer, follow these simple steps:
- Abra uma torneira com fluxo médio de água fria.
- Turn on the disposer by flipping the wall switch.
- Scrape food waste into the sink opening. Do not overload the disposer.
- Após a trituração estar completa, continue a deixar correr água fria por alguns segundos para enxaguar o tubo de drenagem.
- Desligue o triturador de alimentos e, em seguida, feche o registro de água.
Observação: Always use cold water when operating the disposer. Cold water keeps grease and fats in a solid state so they can be flushed away, preventing clogs.
Manutenção
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient performance of your Evergrind E101 disposer.
- Limpe regularmente: Grind small bones or fruit pits occasionally to help scour the grind chamber.
- Desinfetar: Para eliminar odores, triture cascas de frutas cítricas (limão, laranja) com água fria.
- Evite produtos químicos agressivos: Never use chemical drain cleaners, as they can corrode metal parts and void your warranty.
- Clear Minor Jams: If the disposer hums but doesn't grind, turn off the power, insert an Allen wrench (provided with the unit) into the center hole at the bottom of the disposer, and turn it back and forth to free the impellers.
