TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS, YOUR MODEL MAY VARY

Before starting this step, turn off electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

If your old mount is the same as the mount on your new disposer , just rev erse the assembly instructions found in section Installation of Mounting Assembly . If your new mount system is different, follow these instructions:

Caution: Be sure to support the disposer while

perfomring this step or it may fall when the mounting ring is disconnected from the mounting assembly. If your disposer is hard wired (metal shielded cable not utilizing a wall plug), complete steps C and D. If you utilize a plug- in cord, go

on to step E.

REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT

A. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches to disposer discharge tube (see A). B. Remove disposer from sink flange by turning mount ring to the left clockwise (see B). 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 screwdiver into on tube will provide additional leverage for turning the mount ring (see B). Some disposers may require the removal or loosening of nuts from the mount screws (see C). Some disposers may require the removal of a clamp.

IMPORTANT: Unless you have a new home, 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.

DISHWASHER CONNECTION

C. When disposer is removed, turn up side down and remove electrical cover plate (see D). D. Use screwdriver to remove green ground wire. Remove wire nuts from black and white power wires and separate disposer wires from power cable wires. Loosen screws on cable clamp and separate cable from disposer. E. T o 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 E). 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.

If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following procedure. If dishwasher is not to be connected go to section Installation of Mounting Assembly .

A. Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden dowl),

knock out entire plug (see A). Do no use a screwdriver or sharp instrument. When knockout plug falls into disposer, ou may remove it or simply grind it up when the disposer is used. This will not damage the disposer in any way , but ma y take sometime to grind, over the course of several uses. Go to section Installation of Mounting Assembly . B. Connect dishwasher hose using hose clamp. If hose size is different, you will need a Dishwasher Connector Kit (see B). Make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in accordance with all plumbing codes and ordinan ces. Run water and check for leaks.
