EZ MOUNT INSTALLATION

If you are utilizing a dishwasher, complete the following
procedure. If dishwasher is not to be connected go on to
section 3.
1. Using a blunt instrument (steel punch or wooden dowel),
knock out entire plug (see 2A). Do not use a screwdriver
or sharp instrument. (When knockout plug falls into
Disposer, you may remove it or grind it up when the
disposer is used.This will not damage the disposer in any
way, but may take some time to grind).
2. Connect dishwasher hose (see 2B) using a hose clamp.
Make sure all plumbing connections are tight and in
accordance with all plumbing codes and ordinances.Run
water and check for leaks.

3. INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
READ COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING
NOTE:Pay close attention to the order of mount assembly parts,
as they have been correctly assembled by the factory (see 3A).
Also, reference the cushion mount detail in illustration 3F for
the proper position of the cushion mount.
NOTE: Try practicing this assembly before you get under the
sink to get the“feel”of how the parts fit together.

TYPICAL INSTRUCTIONS,YOUR MODEL MAY VARY.
1. REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT
Before starting this step, turn off electrical power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box. Unplug disposer.
If your old mount is the same type as the mount on your new
disposer, just reverse the assembly instructions found in section
3.If your new mount system is different,follow these instructions:
A. Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where it attaches
to disposer discharge elbow (see 1A).
B. Remove disposer from sink flange by turning mount
ring to the left (clockwise - see 1B). 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 1B). Some disposers may require the removal or
loosening of nuts from the mount screws (see 1C). Some
disposers may require the removal of a clamp.
C. To remove remaining mount system from the sink, loosen
mount screws, push mount ring up.Under it is the snap ring.
Use screwdriver to pop off ring (see 1D).Remove mount ring,
protector ring and gasket from sink flange. Some mounts
will require the unscrewing of a large ring holding the sink
flange in place.Pull sink flange up through sink and clean off
old putty from sink. Caution:Be sure to support the disposer
while performing this step or it may fall when the mounting
ring is disconnected from the mounting assembly.

1. Raise mount ring toward top of sink flange. Remove cushion mount. Remove mount
ring.You may want to practice installing the cushion mount at this point before you are
under the sink.See paragraph G.Also see the“Important Notice:Cushion Mount Detail.”
2. Unscrew support ring from sink flange and remove fiber gasket.You are now left with
sink flange and rubber gasket.
3. The rubber gasket is used instead of plumbers putty with stainless steel sinks. Other
sinks will require silicone seal or plumber’s putty.
4. If no caulking is used, insert sink flange through rubber gasket into sink opening. Do
not rotate sink flange once it is seated.
5. If you use silicone instead of the gasket, form a ring around underside of sink flange
(see 3C). Insert flange into sink opening, press down hard to squeeze out excess (see
3B).From under sink, clean up excess flush with bottom edge of the sink opening.
6. From underneath sink,slip fiber gasket onto exposed sink flange.With arrows pointing
up, screw support ring onto the sink flange, hand tighten until the sink flange will not
move. At this point you may want to insert stopper in sink and fill with water to check
sink flange seal and ensure there are no leaks.
7. Place mount ring over sink flange and hold in place while installing cushion mount
(large side down) so the groove on the inside of cushion mount fits over lip on sink
flange, similar to putting the lid on a plastic container (see 3D, 3E & 3F). Please read
important notice below.
8. The disposer must be installed so that the reset button is readily accessible.
EZ Mount Installation System
When the cushion mount is installed correctly,
the lip of the sink flange fits into the groove on
the inside of the cushion mount and mount
ring can be pulled downward over cushion
mount and will be free to rotate. The bottom
bead of the cushion mount acts as a gasket
between the bottom of the sink flange and the
top of the disposer. See illustration 3F.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Cushion Mount Detail
• Connect disposer to appropriate household current only.
DANGER: IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
OR SERVICEMAN IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE APPLIANCE IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE APPLIANCE IF IT WILL NOT FIT
THE OUTLET. HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Grounding Instructions
FOR WASTE DISPOSERS EQUIPPED WITH A GROUNDED
PLUG-IN POWER CORD.

or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.

7A. CONTINUOUS FEED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Anti-Jam Swivel Impellers make a clicking sound as they swing into place.This indicates normal operation.
A. Remove sink stopper.Turn on a medium flow of cold water.
B. Turn switch to ON position;your motor is turning at full speed and ready to use.
C. Scrape in food waste.Down the drain go table scraps,peelings, rinds,seeds,pits, small bones and coffee grounds.To speed up food
waste disposal, cut or break up large bones, rinds and cobs. Large bones and fibrous husks require considerable grinding time and
are more easily thrown away with other trash. Do not be alarmed that the disposer slows down while grinding. The disposer is
actually increasing torque (grinding power) and is operating under normal conditions.
D. Before turning disposer off, let water and disposer run for approximately 15 seconds after shredding stops. This ensures that all
waste is thoroughly flushed through trap and drain.
E. It is not recommended to use hot water while running disposer.Cold water will keep waste and fats solid so disposer can flush away particles.
7B. BATCH FEED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Anti-Jam Swivel Impellers make a clicking sound as they swing into place.This
indicates normal operation.
A. Remove sink stopper and turn on a medium flow of cold water.
B. Scrape in food waste. Down the drain go table scraps, vegetable peelings, cobs, rinds, pits, bones
and coffee grounds. (see A)
C. Insert stopper to start disposer. (see B) One of the two small slots in stopper base must line up
with switch plunger inside the neck of the disposer. Push down firmly to turn the disposer on.Lift
stopper to shut the disposer off.
D. Run disposer for 15 seconds after shredding stops. This ensures that all waste is thoroughly
flushed through the drain.
E. To fill sink, insert stopper and align the largest slot with the switch plunger. (see C) Push down to
seal sink without starting the disposer. When medium sized slot (see B) in stopper base is lined
up with the switch plunger, water can drain, but tableware, etc., cannot be accidentally dropped
into disposer.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
A. Be sure disposer is empty before using your dishwasher so it may drain properly.
B. 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.
C. Your disposer is ruggedly built to give you many years of trouble free service. It will handle all
normal food wastes, but it will NOT grind or dispose of such items as plastic, tin cans, bottle caps,
glass, china, leather, cloth, rubber, string, clam and oyster shells, aluminum foil or feathers.
