They all have one, Nancy. Get under there and look, or just feel on the
bottom of the unit. It's usually right around the downward facing edge.
Knowing where it is, and where the wrench goes to help clear jams could save
you some $$ on a service call where the man pushes the button, twists the
wrench in the fitting, gets your disposal running again, and hands you a
bill for $60.

Don't know where your wrench is? Didn't save it when you got the unit
because you didn't know what it was for? Get another. They're cheap and
very handy.
