COMPONENTS AND INSTALLATION
NOTE
Pay close attention to the order of the sink
flange parts, as they have been
correctly assembled by the factory.
A. Disassemble the sink flange assembly from
the disposer by turning the mount ring to
the left (clockwise) and removing it.
B. Raise the mount ring toward the top of the
sink flange. Remove the cushion mount and
the mount ring.
You may want to practice installing the
cushion mount at this point before you are
under the sink.
C. Unscrew the support ring from the sink
flange and remove the fiber gasket. You are
now left with the sink flange and the rubber
gasket.
D. The rubber gasket is used instead of
plumbers putty with stainless steel sinks.
Some ceramic sinks will require putty or
silicone.
E. If no putty is used, insert the sink flange
through the rubber gasket into the sink
opening. Do not turn the flange once it is
seated.
F. If you use putty instead of the gasket,
form a ring around the underside of the
sink flange. Insert the flange into the sink
opening, press down hard to squeeze out
excess putty. From under the sink, trim off
excess putty flush with the bottom edge of
the sink opening.

the sink flange will not move.
(NNOOTTEE: If your sink is more than
15mm thick you will need to flip
the supporting ring so the arrows
are pointing down. This will provide a greater distance on
the sink flange allowing it to be used on sinks up to
approximately 22mm thick). At this point you may want to
insert the stopper into the sink and fill with water to

F. If you use putty instead of the gasket, form a ring
around the underside of the sink flange. Insert the flange
into the sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out
excess putty. From under the sink, trim off excess putty
flush with the bottom edge of the sink opening.
G.From underneath the sink, slip the fiber gasket onto

DISHWASHER CONNECTION (IF REQUIRED)
If you are connecting a dishwasher to you waste disposal unit, please complete the following steps.
If you are not connecting a dishwasher proceed to step 3 attaching the discharge elbow.
1. Knock out the plug:
Using a blunt instrument (for example a steel punch or
wooden dowel) knock out the entire plug. Do not use a
screwdriver or sharp tool. When the knocked out plug falls
into the disposer, you may remove it or simply grind it up
when you first use the appliance. This will not damage the
disposal unit in any way, but may take some time to grind
over several uses.
2. Connect the hose:
Connect the dishwasher hose using a hose clamp. If the hose size is different you will need a
stepped rubber adapter.
CONNECTING THE DISCHARGE ELBOW
Discharge elbow must be installed by a professional. Some installations (see page 9 for examples)
may require the use of a flexible drain pipe.
NOTE
If the dishwasher connection is made without removing the plug, the dishwasher may overflow.
1. Connect the discharge elbow to the disposer.
2. Make sure all plumbing connections are tight.

CONNECTING THE DISPOSER TO THE SINK FLANGE
1. Attach to the sink flange.
Line up the disposer under the sink flange. Guide the hopper
projections into the mount ring slots . Turn the mount ring about
1 4 / “ to the right so that the disposer
is temporarily supported.
2. Line up with the outlet pipe.
Turn the mount ring and the disposer until the disposer
discharge elbow lines up with the outlet pipe. See next
page.
3. Lock the mount ring.
Turn the mount ring to the right until it locks up tight.
Hopper projections must be to the extreme left of the
mounting slots If the mount ring is hard to turn. you may
add a small amount of petroleum jelly or liquid soap to the
hopper projection Run water and check for leaks.
4. Check the leaks.
Check the unit for leaks 24 hours after installation and
first operation.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT put your head or body under the disposer during the installation as it could fall.
DIMENSIONS
A. Disposer height
B. Disposer from bottom of sink bowl to
centerline of discharge outlet
C. Distance from centerline of the discharge
outlet to end of discharge tube
D. Disposer width
E. Distance form disposer vertical centerline to
centerline of discharge elbow
NOTE
1. It is essential for the correct operation of the waste
disposer that this dimension (a) shown on the right is
230mm - 300mm depending on the models listed above,
this will avoid standing water in the motor housing.
2. Flexible drain pipe may be necessary for this application.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This disposer uses anti-jam swivel impellers that make a clicking sound as they swing into place.
This indicates normal operation, and is not a fault.
1. Remove the sink stopper and turn on a medium flow of cold water.
2. Turn on the waste disposer (by the wall switch or air switch).
3. Slowly insert food waste into disposer and position stopper to minimize possible ejection of
material while grinding.
4. After grinding is complete, turn off the waste disposer and run the cold water for at least a
further 15 seconds to flush the drain line.
HELPFUL HINTS
DO...
»Be sure the disposer is empty before using the dishwasher so it can drain properly.
»You may want to leave the stopper in the drain when not in use to prevent utensils and
foreign objects from falling into the disposer.
»TO SPEED UP FOOD WASTE DISPOSAL... Cut or break up large bones, melon rinds, grapefruit
skins and corn cobs. Items such as large bones, fibrous husks like lima bean pods and corn
husks require considerable cutting time. For this reason, you may prefer to place them in the
recycling.
»Grind peelings from citrus fruits to freshen up drain smells.
»Use a waste disposer cleaner or deodorizer as necessary to relieve objectional odours caused
by any grease build up. Also remove and clean the splash guard regularly.
»Let the disposer run for 15 seconds after shredding stops, then once turned off allow water
to rinse through for another 15 seconds, this will ensure all the waste is thoroughly flushed
through the trap and drain.
DON’T...
»Don’t be alarmed if the disposer slows down when grinding, the appliance is actually
increasing torque (grinding power) and is operating under normal conditions.
»Don’t pour grease, oil or fat into your waste disposer or any drain. It can build up in pipes and
cause drain blockages. Put grease in a jar (when cooled) and dispose of in your bin.
»Don’t use hot water when grinding food waste, it is ok to drain hot water into the disposer
when it is not in operation.
»Don’t put tin cans, bottles, bottle caps, glass, china, leather, cloth, crockery, rubber, string,
feathers etc into your disposer. It is designed for food waste only.
»Don’t fill the disposer with food all at once. Turn on the cold water flow and gradually feed in
the food waste.
»To avoid possible drain blockages don’t grind extremely fibrous food waste like whole corn
husks, artichokes, celery etc.
»Don’t turn off your waste disposer until grinding has completed and only the sound of the
motor and water can be heard.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
THE MOTOR IS PERMANENTLY LUBRICATED FOR LIFE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE YOUR
DISPOSER.
The disposer is self cleaning and scours itself with each use.
»NEVER put lye or chemical cleaners into the disposer, as they cause serious corrosion of metal
parts.
»Your disposer is equipped with a removable splash guard for ease of cleaning or replacement.
Remove the splash guard by pulling it out from the top. To replace, insert into the sink flange
and push down until it is properly seated.
»If an odour develops, run orange or lemon rinds through the disposer. A dozen ice cubes
sprinkled with a little household scouring powder will also work.
