Grounding Instructions for Disposal

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug . The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Most houses have electrical outlets under the sink that are half-hot. This means one outlet is controlled by the wall switch, while the other is always hot. The batch-feed or “TC” model connects to the hot side, while the continuous feed model connects to the switch side. The power cord and/or connections must comply with the National Electrical Code, Section 422 and/or local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: If you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren't sure if the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Make certain that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this appliance.

22. Grounding this appliance will serve to:
a. make it last longer
b. provide a safe path for the electrical current
c. cause the appliance to malfunction
d. increase the risk of electrical shock

23. “Half-hot” means:
a. one outlet is always hot
b. both outlets are controlled by a wall switch
c. one outlet doesn't work
d. no outlet is connected to the switch side

24. According to the instructions, improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor could result in:
a. fire
b. voiding of the warranty
c. a risk of electrical shock
d. equipment failure

25. If the plug will not fit the outlet:
a. use a plug adaptor
b. modify the plug
c. have a proper outlet installed
d. return the disposal

26. The power cord and/or connections must:
a. comply with the National Power Code
b. comply with OSHA standards
c. comply with the international law
d. comply with the National Electrical Code


Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.

Edison was born in Milan, Ohio on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him basic reading and math, but Edison was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.

When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Edison was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.

Edison then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success . In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. A stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. With that money, he was able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey .

Edison was totally deaf in one ear and had a partial hearing loss in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so he could have more time for his work. He called himself a "two -shift man" because he typically worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.

Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.

27. Thomas Edison did things in this order:
a. he became a telegraph operator, a newsboy, and then got his first patent
b. he became a newsboy, got his first patent, and then became a telegraph operator
c. he got a patent, became a telegraph operator, and then became a newsboy
d. he became a newsboy, a telegraph operator, and then got a patent

28. Edison considered his deafness:
a. a disadvantage
b. a blessing
c. a gift from the heavens
d. a necessity

29. Of all the inventions, __________ was probably the most important for civilization.
a. the vote recorder
b. the stock ticker
c. the light bulb
d. the motion picture camera

30. The main idea of this passage is:
a. Thomas Edison was always interested in science and inventions, and he invented many important things.
b. Thomas Edison could not keep a job.
c. Thomas Edison worked day and night on his experiments.
d. Deaf people make good inventors because they can focus without the distraction of spoken conversation.

31. Edison called himself a “two-shift man” because:
a. he worked two different jobs
b. he invented split shifts
c. he was deaf
d. he worked 16 hours during a typical day
