1. REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT
GENERAL 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 reverse the
assembly instructions found in section 3. If your new mount system is different,
follow these instructions:
I. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches to disposer discharge
tube (see 1A).
II. 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 hoops. Inserting a screwdriver into one
of the hoops 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 plug- in cord, go on to step V.
III. When disposer is removed, turn upside down and remove electrical cover plate
(see 1D).
IV. 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.
V. 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. GETTING READY, DISASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts, as they have been cor-
rectly assembled by the factory. (See 2A and 2B)
I. Disassemble the mounting assembly, as it has been shipped, by turning the lower
Mounting Ring counterclockwise (see 2C) until the Mount Assembly becomes free
(2D). You can use the Hex Wrench or a screw driver in any of the 3 hoops if you need
some leverage.
II. Using the Hex Wrench unscrew counterclockwise the 3 Mounting Screws in the Mount
Assembly until about half way and expose the Snap Ring (2E).
III. Using a Flat Screwdriver get under the Snap Ring and Pry it out (2F).
IV. Disassemble the Mount Assembly keeping all the parts (2G).
YOUR DISPOSER COMES WITH A 3-BOLT MOUNT SYSTEM

3. INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY WITH PLUMBER’S PUTTY
READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
You can install the Mounting Assembly WITH or WITHOUT Plumber’s Putty. Depending
on the installation you want to do, the order of the gaskets is different. Installation WITH
Plumber’s Putty (3A) is preferred for all installations. In some thin Stainless Steel Sink
installations you will need to do it WITHOUT Plumber’s Putty (4A), in this case go to
Chapter 4.
I. Be sure your sink is clean.
II. Pack the underside rim of the sink flange with plumber’s putty (see 3B). Position the
sink flange in the sink waste hole so it is centered and readable as you look into your sink.
Push the sink flange firmly into the sink opening to make a good seal. DO NOT move or
rotate the sink flange once seated or the seal may be broken.
III. Take the remaining portion of the mount assembly, as it was set aside following the
sequence of diagram 3A. Make sure that the flat side of the Backup Flange is towards the
Gaskets.
IV. From under the sink, while holding the sink flange firmly with one hand, place the
Snap Ring and push it into the groove of the sink flange (3C).
V. Line up the screws in the Mounting Ring with the projections of the Backup Flange.
VI. Tighten the 3 mounting screws evenly with the Hex Wrench (see 3D).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Trim off excess putty.

4. INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY WITHOUT PLUMBER’S PUTTY
READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
I. Be sure your sink is clean.
II. Install the Rubber Washer onto the Sink Flange.
III. Position the sink flange in the sink waste hole so it is centered and readable as you
look into your sink.
IV. Take the remaining portion of the mount assembly, as it was set aside following the
sequence of diagram 4A. Make sure that the flat side of the Backup Flange is towards
the Fiber Washer.

8. AIR SWITCH INSTALLATION
I. Feed the PVC tube through one of the Strain Release Nuts that are supplied in the
plastic bag. Push the end of the PVC tube onto the spout of the push button. Hand
tighten the Strain Release Nut (See 8A).
II. Drill a 1 1/8” to 1 3/8” hole into the kitchen countertop, or the corner of the sink, or the
front apron of the counter at the most convenient point for use. Some sinks may
already have a suitable hole in them which can be exposed by removing the cap.
III. Fit the push button with the tube in the hole and then hand tighten the nut to secure
(See 8B).
IV. Lay out the PVC Tube so that it reaches the area where the air switch is in the Waste
Disposer (located below the Rubber Collar). Avoid kinks in the tube and see that it will
be out of the way in the counter. Cut if necessary.
VI. Feed the other end of the PVC tube through the other Strain Release Nut you received
in the plastic bag. Push the end of the PVC tube onto the spout of the Air Switch.

13

9. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
I. Turn breaker switch on.
II. Plug in the Waste Disposer.
III. Remove stopper. Turn on a medium flow of cold water.
IV. Press the Push Button. The Anti-Jam Impellers make a clicking sound as they swing
into place, this indicates normal operation. The motor should be turning now at full
speed and ready to be used.
V. Scrape in waste.
VI. Waste that you can put into the Waste Disposer: food table scraps, peelings, rinds,
seeds, pits, small bones and coffee grounds. To speed up waste disposer, cut or break
up large bones, rinds and cobs. Large bones and fibrous husks require considerable
grinding time. You might consider throwing them away with other trash. Do not be
alarmed if the disposer slows down while grinding. The disposer is actually increasing
torque (grinding power) and is operating under normal conditions.
VII. Waste that you cannot put into the Waste Disposer: plastic, plastic wrap, any metal,
wires, tie straps, tin cans, bottle caps, glass, china, leather, cloth, rubber, string or rope,
clam and oyster shells, aluminum foil or feathers. If you are in doubt of any waste,
don’t put it in the waste disposer, throw it away with other trash.
VIII. Let water and disposer run for approximately 15 seconds after shredding stops. This
assures that all waste is thoroughly flushed through trap and drain.
IX. Turn Waste Disposer OFF by pressing again the Push Button.
X. It is not recommended to use hot water while running disposer. Cold water will keep
waste and fats solid so disposer can flush away particles.
XI. Your Waste Disposer is equipped with a Motion Activated Band of LED Lights. This
Band will light up as soon as it senses any motion as long as your Waste Disposer is
plugged in. The lights will go off automatically 1 minute after the sensors stop
detecting any movement. As the sensors are infrared, they are colour sensitive so
they will react slower with dark clothes. If you experience some delay in the lights
turning on, you can do a slow wave in front of any of the 3 Motion Sensors.
1. Be sure disposer is empty before using your dishwasher so it may drain properly.
2. You may want to leave the stopper in the drain when not in use to prevent utensils
and foreign objects from falling into the disposer.
3. If your LED lights turn OFF while you still need the light, you can do a slow wave in
front of any of the 3 Motion Sensors.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
14

10. CLEANING AND 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 and waste can form on the stainless steel turntable,
giving the appearance of rust. DO NOT BE ALARMED, the stainless steel turntables
used will not corrode.
15
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
I. Be sure to use cold water when disposing of food waste, it helps keep the oils solid.
II. Your disposer is ruggedly built to give you many years of service. It will handle all
normal food waste. It will NOT grind or dispose of such items as metal (forks, knives),
plastic, tin cans, bottle caps, glass, china, leather, cloth, rubber, string, hair, clam and
oyster shells, aluminum foil or feathers. These items can damage your waste disposer.
III. Be sure disposer is empty before using your dishwasher so it may drain properly.
IV. You may want to leave the stopper in the drain when not in use to prevent utensils
and foreign objects from falling into the disposer.
