IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE YOUR DISPOSER!

The motor is permanently lubricated. The disposer is self cleaning and scours its internal parts

with each use. NEVER put lye or chemical drain cleaners into the disposer,

as they cause serious corrosion of metal parts.

If used, resulting damage can be easily detected and all warranties are void. Mineral deposits from your water can form on the stainless steel turntable, giving the appearance of rust.

DO NOT BE ALARMED, the stainless steel turntables used will not corrode.

1. REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT

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.

B. Connect dishwasher hose using

hose clamp. If hose size is different, you will need a stepped rubber adapter (see 2B).

*Air gap may not be required for all installations. Check local plumbing codes.

A. Use a pipe wrench to

disconnect drain line where it attaches to disposer discharge tube (see 1A).

B. Remove disposer from

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. Use pliers or adjustable

wrench to remove nuts on the mounting screws, then remove old disposer (see 1C). Some disposers have to be removed by taking off a clamp. If your disposer is hard wired (metal shielded cable not utilizing a wall plug), complete steps D and E. If you utilize a plug-in cord, go on to step F.

D. When disposer is removed, turn up side down

and remove electrical cover plate (see 1D).

E. 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.

screws, push mount ring up. Under it is the snap ring. Use screwdriver to pop off ring (see 1E). Remove mount ring,
