NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of the sink flange parts, as they have been correctly assembled by the factory.

A. Disassemble the sink flange assembly from the disposer by turning the mount ring to the left (clockwise) and removing it.

B. Raise the mount ring toward the top of the sink flange. Remove the cushion mount and the mount ring. You may want to practice installing the cushion mount at this point before you are under the sink.

C. Unscrew the support ring from the sink flange and remove the fiber gasket. You are now left with the sink flange and the rubber gasket.

D. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers putty with stainless steel sinks. Some cast sinks will require putty.

E. If no putty is used, insert the sink flange through the rubber gasket into the sink opening. Do not turn the flange once it is seated.

F.If you use putty instead of the gasket, form a ring around the underside of the sink flange. Insert the flange into the sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out excess putty. From under the sink, trim off excess putty flush with the bottom edge of the sink opening.

G.From underneath the sink,

 

slip the fiber gasket onto the

 

exposed sink flange. With

 

arrows pointing up, screw the

 

support ring onto the sink

Hand-tighten sink

flange and hand tighten until

the sink flange will not move. At this flange point you may want to insert the stopper in the

sink and fill with water to check the sink flange seal and insure there are no leaks.

H.Place the mount ring over

the sink flange and hold in place while installing the cushion mount (large side down). Make sure the

groove on the inside of the cushion mount fits over the lip on the sink flange,

similar to putting the lid GrooveTop on a plastic container. Manual background

Run your fingers around the entire

cushion mount with

slight pressure. Do not press too hard. When the cushion mount is properly seated, the mount ring can be pulled downward over the cushion mount and will be free to turn.
