CHAPTER 1. REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT
TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS, YOUR MODEL MAY VARY.
Before starting this step, turn off electrical power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box. Unplug disposer.
If your old mount is the same type as the mount on your
new disposer, just reverse the assembly instructions
found in section 3. If your new mount system is different,
follow these instructions:
• Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it at-
taches to disposer discharge elbow (see 1A).
• Remove disposer from sink flange by turning mount
ring to the left clockwise (see 1B). 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 screwdriver into one
tube will provide additional leverage for turning the
mount ring (see 1B). Some disposers may require the
removal or loosening of nuts from the mount screws
(see 1C). Some disposers may require the removal of
a clamp.
CAUTION: Be sure to support the disposer while per-
forming this step or it may fall when the mounting ring
is disconnected from the mounting assembly.
• 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 1D).
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: 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.
CHAPTER 2. DISHWASHER CONNECTION
If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following
procedure. If dishwasher is not to be connected go on to
section 3.
A. Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden
dowel), knock out entire plug (see 2A). Do not use
a screwdriver or sharp instrument. (When knockout
plug falls into disposer, you may remove it or grind it
up when the disposer is used. This will not damage the
disposer in any way, but may take some time to grind).
B. Connect dishwasher hose (see 2B) using hose clamp.
Make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in
accordance with all plumbing codes and ordinances.
Run water and check for leaks.
* Air gap may not be required for all installations. Check local
plumbing codes.
