1. REMOVAL OF OLD UNIT

2. DISHWASHER CONNECTION

If you are utilizing a dishwasher,
complete the following procedure.

If dishwasher is not to be
connected go on to Section 3.

A.

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 simply grind it up
when the disposer is used. This
will not damage the disposer in
any way, but may take some time
to grind, over the course of
several uses.

B.

Connect dishwasher hose using

hose clamp. If hose size is
different, you will need a stepped
rubber adapter (see 2B).

*Air gap may not be required for all
installations. Check local plumbing
codes.
