Pay close attention to the order of the sink flange

parts, as they have bee n correctly assembled by the
factory.
A. Disassemble the sink flange assembly from the
disposer by turning the mount ring to the left (clockwise)
and removing it.
B. Raise the mount ring toward the top of the sink flange.
Remove the cushion mount and the mount ring. You may
want to practice installi ng the cushion mount at this point
before you are under th e sink.
C. Unscrew the suppor t ring from th e sink flange and
remove the fiber gaske t. You are no w left with the sink
flange and the rubber gasket.

E. If no putty is used, insert the sink flange through the
rubber gasket into the sink opening. Do not turn the
flange once it is seated.
F. If you use putty inste ad of the gasket, form a ring
around the underside of the sink flange. Insert the flange
into the sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out
excess putty. From under the sink, trim off excess putty
flush with the bottom edge of the sink opening.
G.From underneath the sink, slip the fiber gasket onto
the exposed sink flange. With arrows pointing up, screw
the support ring onto the sink

flange and hand tighte n until

the sink flange will not m ove.
At this point you may want to
insert the stopper in the sink
and fill with water to ch eck
the sink flange seal and insure there are no leaks.
H.Place the mount ring over the sink flange and hold in
pla ce while installing the cushion m ount (large side
down). Make sure the g roove on the inside of the cushion
mo unt fits over the lip on the
sink flange, similar to putting
the on a plastic container Run
your fingers around the entire

cushion mount with sli ght

pressure. Do not press too
hard. When the cushion
mo unt is properly seated,

the mount ring can be

pulled downward over the
cushion mount and will be
free to turn.

NOTE:

D. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers
putty with stainless steel sinks. Some cast sinks will
require putty.
