Installing the waste disposer, Installation

Installing the waste disposer

When INSTALLING the disposer, refer to the EXPLODED VIEW on page 3.

The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent or qualified plumber.

Before installing a new disposer, inspect waste pipe. Ensure the drain is clear of obstruction before use.

If the dishwasher drain pipe is to be connected to the disposer, it will be necessary to remove the knock out plug from the dishwasher discharge inlet on the disposer. The plug can be knocked out using a hammer and chisel or screwdriver. The knock out plug will fall into the disposer, please ensure that this is removed before the installation of the disposer.

The disposer is equipped with an easy to use mounting system. The disposer mounting comes completely assembled, so it will be necessary to disassemble the mounting parts before continuing with the installation.

Carefully observe how the mounting parts disassemble, as this will make re-installation simple and understandable.

Turn the mount ring clockwise to remove it from the disposer hopper. The mount ring is shipped in the ‘support’ position.

Raise the mount ring upward toward the top of the sink flange, exposing cushion mount. Remove cushion mount from the sink flange. The mount ring can now be removed.

Installation

The disposer is supplied with two sink gaskets.

A. The thin gasket assembled with the sink flange is for use instead of putty with stainless steel sinks and most pressed steel sinks.

B. The thick gasket included in the carton is for use instead of putty with cast iron sinks and some deep well pressed steel sinks.

If for any reason you do use plumbers putty, follow this procedure:

Form a ring of putty around the underside of the sink flange. Insert the sink flange into sink opening, press down firmly on sink flange to squeeze out any excess putty. Then, from underneath the sink, use a knife to trim off excess putty flush with bottom edge of the sink opening. If you use putty, do NOT use gasket(s).

When positioning the disposer ensure that the red reset button is easily accessible after completion of the installation.

Unscrew the support ring from the sink flange.
