1. REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT
TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS, YOUR MODEL MAY VARY.
NOTE: If you have no existing unit to remove, simply take out you waste (plug) and proceed to
Section 2
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 (see1B). 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 performing this step or it may fall when the
mounting ring is disconnected from the mounting assembly.
C. To remove remaining mount system from the sink, loosen mount screws, push mount ring up.
Under it is the snap ring. 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.
D. Remove existing waste (plug) from you sink unit
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.
