IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO
PERSONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING – When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when an appliance is used near children.
3. Do not put fingers or hands into a waste disposer.
4. Turn the power switch to the off position before
attempting to clear a jam or remove an object
from the disposer.
5. When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposer, use a long wooden object such as a wooden
spoon or the wooden handle of a broom or mop.
6. When attempting to remove objects from a waste
disposer use long-handled tongs or pliers. If the
disposer is magnetically actuated, non-magnetic
tools should be used.
7. To reduce the risk of injury by materials that may
be expelled by a waste disposer, do not put the
following into a disposer: clam or oyster shells;
caustic drain cleaners or similar products; glass,
china or plastic; large whole bones; metal, such as
bottle caps, tin cans, aluminum foil or utensils;
hot grease or other hot liquids; whole cornhusks.
8. When not operating a disposer, leave the stopper
in place to reduce the risk of objects falling into
the disposer.
9. DO NOT operate disposer unless splash guard is
in place. (Does not apply to the Top
Control/Batch Feed units.)
10. For proper grounding instructions see the ELECTRICAL CONNECTION portion of this manual.
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 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 tube (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.
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. If your disposer is hard wired (metal shielded cable
not utilizing a wall plug), complete
steps C and D. If you utilize a plugin cord, go on to step E.
C. When disposer is removed, turn up side
down and remove electrical cover plate
(see 1D).
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. 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 1E). 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.
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.

2. DISHWASHER CONNECTION
If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following procedure. If dishwasher is not to be connected
go on to section 3.
A. 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 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 3.
B. Connect dishwasher hose using hose clamp. If
hose size is different, you will need a Dishwasher
Connector Kit (see 2B). Make sure all plumbing
connections are tight and in accordance with all
plumbing codes and ordinances. Run water and
check for leaks.

NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of mount
assembly parts, as they have been correctly assembled
by the factory. (See 3A and 3B.)
A. Disassemble the mounting assembly, as it has
been shipped, by turning the sink flange until the
projections align with the notches in the mount
ring and allow you to pull the sink flange up and
out of the remaining mount assembly. Note the
sequence of these parts as they are stacked and
refer to 3A and 3B to identify each part. Unpack
the 3 mount screws and screw them half way
through the mount ring (notice “THIS SIDE UP”
is imprinted on top of the mount ring).
Next, stack the rubber gasket on top of the protector ring and sit them on top of the pointed
ends of the mount screws.
B. Keep these assembled parts together and set aside.
Before you connect the disposer to the mount
assembly under the sink, you may want to practice engaging the groove of the Hush Cushion®
to the ridge at the bottom of the sink flange (see
3A and read Sec. 6).
C. Be sure your sink is clean. Pack the underside rim
of the sink flange with plumber’s putty (see 3C).
Position the sink flange so it is centered and readable as you look into your sink. Push the sink
