REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT

General instructions - your model may vary .
NOTE:
Before starting this step, turn off the electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box. Unplug the disposer.
- Disconnect dishwasher if connected to the disposer .
- Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches to the
disposer discharge elbow (see Fig . 1) .
- Remove the disposer from the sink flange by turning the mounting ring
clockwise . 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 (see Fig . 2) .
Some disposers may require the removal or loosening of nuts from the
mounting screws (see Fig . 3) . Some disposers may require the removal
of a clamp .
NOTE:
If your disposer has the same flange as the new disposer and you would like
to keep your old flange, you may skip the following steps and skip to page 7. If
you would like to replace your existing flange or if the flange is different, please
continue with the following steps .
- To remove the remaining mounting system from the sink, loosen the
mounting screws and push the mounting ring up . Under it is the snap
ring . Use a screwdriver to pop off the ring (see Fig . 4) . Remove the
mounting ring, the protector ring and the gasket from the sink flange.
Some mountings will require the unscrewing of a large ring holding
the sink flange in place. Pull the sink flange up through the sink and
clean off the old putty from the sink .
NOTE:
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.
