There are many myths surrounding a disposer, but let's put the biggest one to rest: there are no blades. A disposer works more like a cheese grater than a blender and shreds or grinds food waste rather than cutting or slicing it.
When food waste is placed in a disposer, it lands on a turntable spinning at high speed. Centrifugal force and the impellers (or lugs) attached to the turntable push the food waste against a stationary shredder ring. The food is ground into small particles so that, when mixed with water, it can safely flow through your plumbing and into your wastewater system or septic tank.
How to Install a Garbage Disposer
Step 1: Install sink-mount assembly (new installation or different sink mounting)
Turn off the electrical supply at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Disconnect the sink drain and plumbing connections. Clean off the sink opening. Using plumber's putty, install the new disposer sink flange into the sink drain and connect the sink-mounting assembly. (Skip step two and move to step three.)
Step 2: Remove old disposer (replacements with similar sink mounting)
Turn off the electrical supply at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Disconnect the old disposer's plumbing connections and remove the disposer from its mounting. Disconnect the old disposer�s electrical connections.
Step 3: Make electrical connections
Connect the wiring to the new disposer following the code in your area.
Step 4: Dishwasher connections
If you are connecting the disposer to a dishwasher, be sure to knock out the dishwasher plug and remove the loose plug from the disposer. If you are not connecting the disposer to a dishwasher, then leave the plug intact.
Step 5: Connect new disposer
Mount the new disposer onto the sink-mount assembly and reconnect the plumbing--including the dishwasher hose if applicable. Turn on the electrical power to the disposer at the circuit breaker.
Step 6: Make plumbing adjustments
Lock the disposer in place, make final plumbing adjustments, and check for any leaks.
Recommended tools for installation: Slotted screwdriver, Adjustable pliers, Plumber's putty (if replacing sink flange), Electric hard-wire connector, 3/4-inch conduit connector, Power-cord kit (if needed).

Grind Capacity
The grind capacity of a disposer refers to the interior size of the grind chamber, which ranges from small to large. Larger-capacity models have the ability to process larger amounts of food waste in a single batch and are a better fit for larger families or frequent cooking.
