REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT
TYPICAL 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 Installation of Mounting Assembly. If your new mount system is different, follow these instructions:
A.Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches to disposer discharge tube (see A).
B.Remove disposer from sink flange by turning mount ring to the left 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 screwdiver into on tube will provide additional leverage for turning the mount ring (see B). Some disposers may require the removal or loosening of nuts from the mount screws (see C). Some disposers may require the removal of a clamp.
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 perfomring 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.
C.When disposer is removed, turn up side down and remove electrical cover plate (see D).
D.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.
E.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 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.
