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.
Unplug disposer.
If your old mount is the same type as the mount
on your new disposer, just reverse the
assembly instructions found in Installation of
mounting assembly. If your new mount system
is different, follow these instructions:
1. Have a container available to catch any
excess water / waste from current disposer.
2. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line
where it attaches to disposer discharge
elbow (fig. 1A).
3. Remove disposer from sink flange by
turning mounting ring to the left clockwise
(fig. 1B).
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 (fig. 1B). Some disposers may require
the removal or loosening of nuts from the
mounting screws (fig. 1C). Some disposers
may require the removal of a clamp.
Caution: Be sure to support the disposer
while performing this step or it may fall when
the mounting ring is disconnected from the
mounting assembly.

4. To remove remaining mounting system from
the sink, loosen the screws, push mounting
ring up. Under it is the snap ring. Use
screwdriver to pop off ring (fig. 1D). Remove
the mounting 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.
5. Ensure that sink is clean and thoroughly dry.
Important: 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.
