Installation instructions

Installing the waste disposer

1

  Loosen the clamp screw to allow the mounting system to be 

removed from the unit (fig.2). 

2

  Turn the mounting assembly over and remove the flange ring 

from the track on the sink flange. Undo the three screws holding 
it together. This will allow the sink flange, mount ring, and 
protector ring to separate (fig 3). 
Use the flat blade screwdriver as a lever if required. 

3

  Apply a small amount of plumbers putty to the lip of the sink 

flange and position the sink flange into the sink drain hole 
ensuring that the rubber gasket on the underside of the sink 
flange is firmly in place (fig.4).

4

  Approaching from under the sink, slide the protector ring 

and mount ring onto the underside of the sink flange. Fit the 
flange ring into the track on the sink flange, then tighten the 3 
mounting screws evenly and securely (fig.5).  

Note: 

Ensure that the mounting assembly connection is fixed securely 
and tightly. 

No dishwasher connection required

If a dishwasher is not being connected to the waste disposer, 
please proceed to step 7.

Connecting to a dishwasher

If you are connecting to a dishwasher, please continue with 
steps 5 & 6. 

5

  Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden dowel), knock 

out the entire plug at the end of the dishwasher drain inlet (as 
shown in fig.6). Do not use a screwdriver or sharp instrument. 
When the knockout plug falls into disposer, you may remove 
it or simply grind it up when the disposer is used. This will not 
damage the disposer in any way, but may take some time to 
grind, over the course of several uses.

6

  Connect the dishwasher drain hose to the dishwasher inlet pipe 

on the waste disposer (fig. 6).  Use a clamp to ensure a tight 
seal. A stepped rubber adaptor (not supplied with the product) 
may be required if the diameter of the drain hose is larger than 
the diameter of the waste disposer’s inlet connection.
