IF DISHWASHER IS NOT TO BE CONNECTED
GO ON TO SECTION 3.
If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following
procedure.
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 grind it
up when the disposer is used. This will not damage
the disposer in any way, but may take some time to
grind).
B. Connect dishwasher hose (see 2B) using hose
clamp. Make sure all plumbing connections are tight
and in accordance with all plumbing codes and
ordinances. Run water and check for leaks.
Before starting this step, turn off electrical
power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Unplug
disposer.
If your old mount is the same type 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. Have a container available to catch any excess water
/ waste from current disposer.
B. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it
attaches to disposer discharge elbow (see 1A).
C. 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.

D. 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
1D). 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.
E. Ensure that sink is clean and thoroughly dry.
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.
