1. Unplug the disposer or turn off the electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
2. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect the drain line where it attaches to the disposer
discharge elbow (see B).
3. If a dishwasher is installed, make sure the dishwasher is not running (We recommend
unplugging the dishwasher or turning off the electrical power at the circuit breaker or
fuse box) then remove the dishwasher drain hose from the disposer (see C).
4. Remove disposer from sink ange by turning lower mount ring to the left (see D). 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 D).
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 lower mounting ring is disconnected from the mounting assembly. If your
disposer is hard wired (metal shielded cable not utilizing a wall plug), complete steps
E and F. If you utilize a plug-in cord, go on to step G.

5. When the disposer is removed, turn it upside down and remove the electrical cover
plate (see E).
6. Using a screwdriver, loosen the green ground screw and remove the green ground
wire. Remove the wire nuts from the black and white power wires and separate
the disposer wires from power cable wires. Loosen the screws on cable clamp and
separate cable from disposer (see F).
7. If the existing sink ange is to be re-used, go to page 6.
8. If replacing a 3-bolt style mount system, loosen the 3 mount screws and push the lower
mount ring up. Under it is the snap ring. Use a screwdriver to remove the snap ring
(see G). Remove the mount ring, backup ange and gasket from the
sink ange.
9. EZ mount systems may require the unscrewing of a large ring holding the sink ange in
place. Once unscrewed you can remove the ange.
10.Remove the old sink ange from the sink. Clean the sink thoroughly.

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 not use a screwdriver or sharp instrument. When 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. 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 ordinances. Run water and check
for leaks.

1. Disassemble the mounting assembly from the disposer by turning the lower
mount ring until it disengages from the ramps on the mounting
ring and the sink ange assembly can be removed. Loosen the 3 mount
screws until the mounting ring can be moved up to the backup ange. Use a
at blade screwdriver under one end of the snap ring to remove it from the
sink ange. Remove the mounting ring, backup ange and ber gasket
from the sink ange. Note the sequence of these parts as they are stacked in
the correct re-assembly sequence. Keep these parts together and set aside.
2. Clean the area around the sink drain where the disposer is to be mounted.
Evenly apply ½” thick rope of plumber’s putty around ange (see A).
Position the sink ange (2) in the center of the sink drain opening. Push the sink
ange down rmly to make a good seal (see B). Note: Excess putty will be
squeezed out during the installation and should not be cleaned up until
the end.
DO NOT move or rotate the sink ange once seated or the seal may be
broken. Note: Some sink manufacturers may recommend “Non- Staining”
plumber’s putty; check your sink care instructions.
3. Using a towel in the sink to prevent scratching, place a weight (such as the
disposer) on the sink ange to hold it in place until the sink ange assembly is
secured from the underside of the sink.
4. Reassemble the ber gasket, (3) backup ange (4) and mounting ring,
(6), making sure the ber gasket is on top of the backup ange,
and that the backup ange is on top of the mounting ring (see C).
They must be in this order! From underneath the sink ange, place the
gasket/ange/ring assembly, gasket on top, onto the sink ange (see D).
5. Holding all 3 parts up against the sink, pull the snap ring (7) open and press
rmly into the groove on the sink ange until it snaps into place (see D).
Once in place, it will hold the mounting ring up.
6. Insert 3 mounting screws (5) into mounting ring and tighten screws evenly
and rmly against the backup ange (see E). Use shorter screws if the
sink is more than 3/8” thick. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
Trim off excess putty in the sink.
NOTE: Shorter screws should be available at your local hardware store.
NOTE: Read Operating Instructions at the end of installation.

AD
To Mount Assembly
1. Install the provided discharge elbow/gasket assembly (these are pre-assembled
at the factory) and ange as shown in “A”. Install and tighten two screws evenly
with a screw driver. DO NOT RE-USE THE EXISTING DISCHARGE ELBOW AND
GASKET AS THE GASKET MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY. USE THE NEW
ELBOW, GASKET, FLANGE AND SCREWS PROVIDED.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the gasket and place it on the disposer between
the elbow and disposer. It must stay on the elbow to make a proper seal.
2. Before connecting the disposer to the mounting assembly under the sink,
check that the lower mounting ring is in place on the top of the disposer, and
that the hush cushion is engaged securely around the top lip of the disposer (see
B).
3. Align the discharge elbow with the drain connection and hang the disposer
by aligning the 3 mounting tabs on the lower mounting ring with the slide-up
ramp on the mounting ring (see C).
4. Turn the lower mounting ring until all 3 mounting tabs lock over the ribs at
the top of the ramp (see D). If you are unable to turn the mount ring by hand,
insert a screw driver through one of the tubes on the lower mounting ring to
provide extra leverage to turn it.
5. Use a pipe wrench to reconnect the discharge elbow to the drain line (see E).
(the reversal of page 3, step B) Use a pipe wrench to secure the drain line
where it attaches to disposer discharge tube. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (see E).
6. If you are connecting to a dishwasher, go to “Dishwasher Connection” on page 5.
If not, remove any tools, packaging or materials used for installation from
the sink. Make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in accordance
with all plumbing codes and ordinances (If in doubt, contact a qualied
plumber). Run water and check for leaks (see Leaks on page 10). Then go to
page 8 for the electrical connection.
NOTE: Read Operating Instructions at the end of installation.
