DISASSEMBLE NEW DISPOSER

MOUNTING ASSEMBLY

1. Use a screwdriver to pry the mounting ring off of the sink flange.
2. mounting assembly over and loosen three mounting screws (1) Mounting assembly will now come apart.

ATTACH UPPER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY TO SINK

Reference Figure in Instruction 1 for part identification of items

1. Place rubber gaskets (3) under sink flange (2). Ensure the sink hole area is clear of debris and place the sink flange/gasket into a sink hole. You may wish to place a weighted object in the sink to hold the sink flange in place. (Place a towel under the object to prevent scratching.)
2. Working under the sink, slip fiber gasket(4) and metal backup ring (5) (flat side up) over the sink flange.
3. Holding second rubber gasket, fiber gasket, and metal backup ring in place, slip mounting ring (6) over sink flange so it seats against the backup ring.
4. With the rubber gasket, fiber gasket ring tight against sink bottom, install the snap ring on the groove of the sink flange backup ring and mounting

CLEAN SINK WASTE PIPE

Failure to clean sink waste pipelines may result in waste pipe blockage.

1. Remove trap.
2. With a drain auger, clear away all hardened waste material in the horizontal drain line running from the drain trap to the main pipe. IF YOU ARE NOT CONNECTING A DISHWASHER TO A DISPOSER, SKIP AHEAD TO THE INSTRUCTION

DISHWASHER ATTACHMENT AND OVERFLOW CONNECTION

Wastewater from a dishwasher can be plumbed into the disposer through the inlet access on the upper part of the disposer. There is a plug on the inside of the inlet tube on all models. Once removed, the knockout plug cannot be replaced.
NOTE: If the dishwasher connection is made without removing the plug, the dishwasher may overflow. (Connections must comply with local plumbing codes.) REMOVE KNOCKOUT PLUG

1. Lay the disposer on its side and insert a screwdriver into the dishwasher inlet so the tip rests on the outer edge of the knockout plug.
2. Tap the end of the screwdriver handle with the hammer until molded plug breaks loose (see Figure 6.1).
3. Remove loose knockout plug from the inside disposer. If you have a sink overflow, it should be connected to the overflow inlet on the tailpipe (see Figure 6.2).

CAUTION

PERSONAL INJURY

To avoid personal injury, do not position your head or body under the disposer; the unit could fall during installation. Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting the disposer to the sink.

1. Position disposer with three mounting tabs (1) aligned in position to slide over mounting tracks (2).
2. Lift disposer, insert top end (mounting gasket) into mounting assembly, and turn the lower mounting ring to the right (with adjustable pliers) until mounting tabs lock over ridges (3) on mounting ring track
3. Make sure all three mounting tabs are locked over ridges. The disposer will now hang by itself.
4. Run water into a sink then check for leaks.

ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN PIPE

CAUTION

PROPERTY DAMAGE
Wearing safety glasses is recommended during the installation of the food waste disposer. Do not use the plumber’s putty on any other disposer connection other than on the sink flange. Do not use thread sealants or pipe dope. These may harm the disposer and cause property damage. Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for water leaks, as water leaks can cause property damage. Manufacturers cannot be held responsible for property damage as a result of water leaks.

DISCHARGE TUBE INSTALLATION

1. Place metal flange (2) over-discharge tube (4). Insert rubber gasket (1) with gasket lip facing the metal flange into the discharge tube. (See Figure 8.1)
2. Secure metal flange and discharge tube to disposer with two 13 mm bolts (3).
3. Put the rubber plug (5) on the housing through the drain pipe. (Only FCD-714A has a rubber plug(5)) ALL DISPOSERS CONTINUE WITH STEPS 3-6
4. Rotate disposer so that discharge tube is aligned with drain trap. (To prevent leaks, do not pull or bend the discharge tube to the drain trap.) If the discharge tube is too short, you can purchase an extension from the hardware store. (Disposer must remain in a vertical position to prevent vibration.)
5. Place nut, then ferrule on discharge tube (not supplied) and tighten on drain trap. (if you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides of the sink.)
6. Ensure the lower mounting ring is still securely locked over ridges on the mounting flange.
7. Place stopper in a sink in close position. Fill the sink with water, remove the stopper and check for leaks.

CONNECT DISPOSER TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

DANGER

ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect power before installing or servicing the disposer. If you are not thoroughly familiar with electric power, contact a qualified electrician to connect the disposer to an electrical circuit. If a three-prong, earth (grounded) plug is used, the plug must be inserted into a three-hole, earth (grounded) receptacle. Do not modify the plug provided with the unit (if applicable). Improper connection of equipment earth (grounded) conductor can result in electric shock. All wiring must comply with local electrical codes. Do not attach earth wire (ground wire) to the gas supply pipe. Do not reconnect the electrical current at the main service panel until proper earth (grounded) outlets are installed. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

NOTE
You must have access to the earth (grounded) wall socket. Any additional socket should be fitted by a qualified electrician and properly earthed (grounded). The disposer is fitted with a molded plug and cable.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Disposer leaks

If the leak is at the top, it may be caused by:

1. Improper seating of sink flange (gasket choice, putty, or tightening)
2. The support ring was not tightened properly.
