Installation
REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT
General instructions - your model may vary.
NOTE:
Before starting this step, turn off the electrical power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box. Unplug the disposal.
- Disconnect dishwasher if connected to the disposal.
- Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it
attaches to the disposal discharge elbow (see Fig. 1).
- Remove the disposal from the sink ange by turning
the mounting ring clockwise. If you are unable to turn
the mounting 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
mounting ring (see Fig. 2).
Some disposals may require the removal or loosening
of nuts from the mounting screws (see Fig. 3). Some
disposals may require the removal of a clamp.
NOTE:
If your disposal has the same ange as the new disposal and you
would like to keep your old ange, you may skip the following
steps and skip to page 7. If you would like to replace your existing
ange or if the ange is different, please continue with the
following steps.
- To remove the remaining mounting system from
the sink, loosen the mounting screws and push the
mounting ring up. Under it is the snap ring. Use a
screwdriver to pop off the ring (see Fig. 4). Remove
the mounting ring, the protector ring and the gasket
from the sink ange. Some mountings will require the
unscrewing of a large ring holding the sink ange in
place. Pull the sink ange up through the sink and
clean off the old putty from the sink.
NOTE:
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
disposal.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Turn off
electric power at fuse box or circuit breaker
before removing old unit.
CAUTION: Be sure to support the disposal
when removing the mounting ring or it may fall.
