Installation (continued)
INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Pay close attention how the parts come assembled, as they have been
correctly assembled by the factory (see Fig. 5).
This food waste disposer has been designed to operate on 220-240V AC,
50/60 Hz electrical circuit.
- Disassemble the mounting assembly from the disposer by turning
the bottom supporting ring clockwise .
- Loosen the 3 screws all the way or remove them from the top
supporting ring (Fig . 5a), then use a screw driver to remove the
flange ring (Fig. 5b).
- The sink flange may be installed with or without use of plumber's
putty (see Fig 7 and 7a) .
If you use putty, (see Fig . 7a) form a ring around the underside of
the sink flange (see Fig. 6). Insert the flange into the sink opening,
press down hard to squeeze out the excess putty . Trim off excess
putty from the top and bottom of the sink opening (see Fig . 7b) . Do
not rotate the flange once it is seated.
- Use duct tape or place a heavy object on top of the sink flange to
keep it in place .
- Stretch the flange ring and insert the ends securely into the ring
tool. Keep your fingers away from the ends of the flange ring at all
times (see Fig . 8) .
- Insert the supporting plate and the top supporting ring and hold
them in place. Place the ring tool in the groove of the sink flange
with the arrow side facing towards the bottom . Using your thumb,
push the opposite end of the flange ring until it snaps into the
groove of the sink flange (see Fig. 8a).
- Release the ring tool by rotating it downwards until it snaps away
from the flange ring (see Fig. 8b).
- Tighten the 3 top supporting ring screws sequentially until the
flange is very securely fastened to the sink (see Fig. 8c)
