Removal of Old Unit
TYPICAL iNSTRUCTiONS, YOUR MODEL MAY VARY
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.
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 plug=in
cord, go on to step E.
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 Installation of Mounting Assembly. If your new
mount system is different, follow these instructions..
1. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches to disposer discharge
tube (see A).
2. Remove disposer from sink flange by turning mount ring 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
screwdriver into the tube will provide additional leverage for turning the mount
ring (see B). Some disposers may require the removal or loosening of nuts from
mount screws (see C). Some disposers may require the removal of a clamp.
3. When disposer is removed, turn up side down and remove electrical cover plate
(see D).
4. 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.
5. 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 E).
Remove mounting 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.
