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 disposer.
- Disconnect dishwasher if connected to the disposer.
- Disconnect drain line where it attaches to the disposer
discharge elbow (see Fig. 1).
- Remove the disposer from the sink flange 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 disposers may require the removal or loosening of nuts
from the mounting screws (see Fig. 3). Some disposers may
require the removal of a clamp.
NOTE:
If your disposer has the same flange as the new disposer and you would
like to keep your old flange, you may skip the following steps and skip to
page 7. If you would like to replace your existing flange or if the flange 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 flange. Some mountings will require
the unscrewing of a large ring holding the sink flange in place.
Pull the sink flange 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 disposer.
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 disposer when
removing the mounting ring or it may fall.
