Removal
OF Old Disposer
TYPICAL iNSTRUCTiONS,
YOUR MODEL MAY VARY.
IMPORTANT:
Unless youhoveo
new
home,
this is o good tlme
to cleon out
the trap and droln
lines by running
o drain
auger
or plumber's
snake
before
installing
your
new disposer.
1. Unplug
the disposer
or turn off the electrical
power
at the circuit breaker
or fuse box.
2. Use a pipe
wrench
to disconnect
the drain
line where
it attaches
to the disposer
discharge
elbow
(see B).
3. 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) then remove
the dishwasher
drain
hose from the disposer
(see C).
4. Remove disposer
from sink flange
by turning
lower mount ring to the left (see D). 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 (See D).
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 lower mounting
ring is disconnected
from the mounting
assembly.
If your
disposer
is hard
wired
(metal
shielded
cable
not utilizing
a wall plug),
complete
steps
E and F. If you utilize
a plug-in
cord,
go on to step G.
5. When
the disposer
is removed,
turn it upside
down and remove
the electrical
cover
plate
(see E).
6. Using a screwdriver,
loosen the green
ground
screw and remove
the green
ground
wire. Remove the wire nuts from the black
and white
power
wires and separate
the disposer
wires from
power
cable
wires.
Loosen the screws on cable
clamp and
separate
cable
from disposer
(see F).
7. If the existing
sink flange
is to be re-used,
go to page
6.
8. If replacing
a 3-bolt
style mount system, loosen the 3 mount screws and push the lower
mount ring up. Under it is the snap ring. Use a screwdriver
to remove
the snap ring
(see G). Remove the mount ring, backup
flange
and gasket
from the
sink flange.
9. EZ mount systems may require
the unscrewing
of a large
ring holding
the sink flange
in
place.
Once unscrewed
you can remove
the flange.
10.Remove
the old sink flange
from the sink. Clean the sink thoroughly.
