IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: If you are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING – When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used when children are nearby.
3. Appliance not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
4. Do not put fingers or hands into a waste disposal.
5. Unplug the power cord before attempting to clear a jam or remove an object from the disposal.
6. When attempting to loosen a jam in a waste disposal, use a long wooden object such as a wooden spoon.
7. When attempting to remove objects from a waste disposal use long-handled tongs or pliers. If the disposal is magnetically actuated, non-magnetic tools should be used.
8. To reduce the risk of injury by materials that may be expelled by a waste disposal, do not put the following into a disposal: clam or oyster shells; caustic drain cleaners or similar products; glass, china or plastic; large whole bones; metal, such as bottle caps, tin cans, aluminum foil or utensils; hot grease or other hot liquids; whole corn usks.
9. When not operating a disposal, leave the stopper in place to reduce the risk of objects falling into the disposal.
10. For proper grounding instructions see the ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS portion of this manual.

STEPS FOR REMOVAL OF OLD DISPOSAL. FOR NEW DISPOSAL INSTALL, SKIP TO PAGE 5.
Turn off power if hardwired or unplug if cord is used.

Unplug the disposal or if disposal is hardwired, turn off the electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Use a wrench to disconnect the drain line where it attaches to  the disposal discharge tube.

If a dishwasher is installed, make sure the dishwasher is not running. We recommend unplugging the dishwasher or turning off the electrical power at the circuit breaker or  fuse box. Remove the dishwasher drain hose from the disposal.

Caution: Be sure to support the disposal while performing this step or it may fall when the lower mounting ring is disconnected from the mounting assembly. Remove disposal from sink flange by turning lower mount ring to the left. 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 screwdriver into one tube will provide additional leverage for turning the mount ring. Some disposals may require the removal of a clamp. If your disposal is hardwired (metal shielded cable not utilizing a wall plug), complete step D. If you utilize a plug in cord, go on to step E.

HARDWIRE REMOVAL

Turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse box. When the old disposal is removed from sink flange, disconnect any hardwired connections or unplug unit. Disclaimer: If you  are not familiar with electrical power and procedures, call a qualified electrician.
A. When disposer is removed, turn up side down and remove electrical cover plate (see D).
B. 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.

Inspect current mounting ring seals, your new diposal may be compatible with the existing mounting ring and could be reused. If the existing sink flange is to be reused, go to page 7, step 10. If unable to be used, remove the old sink flange from the sink. Clean the sink thoroughly.

HELPFUL HINT: 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 disposal.

INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING.
NOTE: Pay close attention to the order of the mounting assembly parts, as they have been correctly assembled by the factory.

Remove disposal from packaging. Disassemble the mounting assembly from the disposal by turning the lower mount ring until it disengages from the ramps on the upper mounting ring.
On the sink flange assembly, loosen the 3 mounting screws (E) until the upper mounting ring can be moved up to the backup flange (D).

1. Clean the area around the sink drain where the disposal is to be mounted. Evenly apply 2″ thick rope of plumber’s sealant around Sink Flange (B).
2. Position the Sink Flange (B) in the center of the sink drain opening.
   Push the sink flange down firmly to make a good seal. Note: Excess  sealant will be squeezed out during step 10 and should not be cleaned up until then. DO NOT  ove  or rotate the sink flange once seated or the seal may be broken. Note: Some sink manufacturers may recommend “Non- Staining” plumber’s sealant, check your sink care instructions.

HELPFUL HINT: Using a towel in the sink to prevent scratching, place a weight (or your old garbage disposal) on the sink flange to hold it in place until the sink flange assembly is secured.

Re-assemble the fiber gasket (C), backup flange (D), upper mounting ring (F) and screws (E). From underneath the sink, place the fiber gasket (C), backup flange (D) and then the upper mounting ring (F) onto the flange in this order. Hold the fiber gasket (C), backup flange (D) and upper mounting ring (F) in place while aligning the snap ring (G).

ATTACH DISCHARGE ELBOW TO THE DISPOSAL

1. Tighten all three 1/2″ Screws (E) evenly and firmly against the Backup Flange (D). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
   Verify preassembled Gasket (L) is flush to flange on Elbow (K).
   Install the provided pre-assembled discharge elbow (K)/gasket (L) assembly and elbow flange (Q). Install and tighten two screws (M) x2 evenly with a screw driver. DO  NOT RE-USE THE EXISTING DISCHARGE ELBOW AND GASKET AS THE GASKET MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY. USE ONLY THE NEW ELBOW,  GASKET, FLANGE AND SCREWS PROVIDED. TIGHTEN EVENLY!

Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden dowel), knock out the entire plug in the dishwasher inlet. Do not use a screwdriver or sharp instrument.
IMPORTANT: Do  not remove the gasket and place it on the disposal between the elbow and disposal. It must stay on the elbow to make a proper seal.
When the plug has been knocked into the disposal, it should be removed using a pair of kitchen tongs and thrown away.

CONNECT DISPOSAL TO MOUNT ASSEMBLY

For installation requiring hardwire electrical connections, proceed to Page 10
Before connecting the disposal to the mounting assembly under the sink, check that the Lower Mounting Ring (I) is in place and the Cushion Mount (H) is engaged securely around the top lip of the disposal.

1. Align the discharge elbow with the drain connection and hang the disposal by aligning the 3 mounting tabs on the lower mounting ring (1) with the slide-up ramps onthe  upper mounting ring (F).
2. Rotate the lower mounting ramp onto the upper mounting ring (verify all 3 tabs are engagaed).

Tighten the lower mounting ring until all 3 mounting tabs lock over the hump at the top of the ramps of the upper mounting ring. If you are unable to turn, insert a screw  driver through one of the tubes on the lower mounting ring to provide extra leverage, use adjustable pliers for final tightening.
Reconnect the discharge elbow to the drain line. (the reversal of page 4, step A) Use a wrench to secure the drain line where it attaches to disposal discharge tube. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Remove tools, packaging or materials used for installation from the sink. Make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in accordance with all plumbing codes and ordinances (If in doubt, contact a qualified plumber). Run water and check for leaks.

If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following procedure. Connect the dishwasher hose using a hose clamp. A 7/8″ inside diameter hose will fit the disposal. If the hose size is different, a Dishwasher Connector Kit should be used.

A. Connect the disposal cord to 110-120 volt, 60 Hz AC current only.
B. This waste disposal is equipped with a factory installed plug-in cord with a three prong grounding plug. If a 110-120 volt, 60 Hz AC grounding outlet is not available, have  a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician, or see section on optional hardwiring in HARDWIRE INSTALLATION section.
C. Outlet must be installed in accordance with local electrical codes. This waste disposal requires that a dedicated switch with a marked “Off” position.
The switch shall be installed within sight of the sink opening or the disposal.
D. Ifthe supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord assembly available through Customer Service.

OPTIONAL STEPS FOR HARDWIRE INSTALLATION

(Complete Steps A through G prior to mounting disposal on sink.)

With power supply turned off, remove metal plate on the bottom of the disposal.

Remove clip with needle nose pliers or flathead screwdriver from the strain relief piece of the cord, and remove cord.

Cut white and black wires off close to the connectors. Pull cord out of housing. Cut green ground wire close to the cord strain relief.

Strip the black, white and green wire coating from last 1/2″ of each wire.

Insert cable connector (not included) into the access hole and secure by tightening the nut.
