If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following
procedure. If dishwasher is not to be connected go on to
section 3.
1. 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).
2. Connect dishwasher hose (see 2B) using a hose clamp.
Make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in
accordance with all plumbing codes and ordinances. Run
water and check for leaks.
2. DISHWASHER CONNECTION
3. INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts,
as they have been correctly assembled by the factory (see 3A).
Also, reference the cushion mount detail in illustration 3F for
the proper position of the cushion mount.
NOTE: Try practicing this assembly before you get under the
sink to get the “feel” of how the parts fit together.
•
Disassemble mount assembly from disposer by turning
mount ring to the left (clockwise) and remove.

by running a drain auger or
plumber’s snake before
installing your new food
waste disposer.

TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS, YOUR MODEL MAY VARY.
1. REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT
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:
A. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches
to disposer discharge elbow (see 1A).
B. 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.
C. 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. Caution: Be sure to support the disposer
while performing this step or it may fall when the mounting
ring is disconnected from the mounting assembly.
