CHECK INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
- Disposer Height
- Distance from bottom of sink bowl to the centerline of discharge outlet. (Add 12 mm when stainless steel sink is used.)
- Distance from the centerline of the discharge outlet to end of the discharge tube.
- Disposer Width
- Distance from disposer vertical centerline to centerline of trap connection.
DISCONNECT SINK DRAIN
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY
To properly drain and prevent standing water in the disposer, the waste pipe entering the wall must be lower than the disposer discharge outlet.
Wearing safety glasses is recommended during the installation of the food waste disposer.
- Loosen nut (1) at top of trap (4) with pipe wrench (see Figure 2.1).
- Loosen nut (2) at top of extension pipe. Remove extension pipe.
- Loosen nut (3) at base of the sink flange.
- Push sink flange up through sinkhole and remove it (see Figure 2.2).
- Clean sink flange area of any putty or other debris.
DISASSEMBLE NEW DISPOSER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
- Use a screwdriver to pry the mounting ring off of the sink flange.
- Turn the mounting assembly over (see Figure 3.1) and loosen three mounting screws (1) Mounting assembly will now come apart.
Reference Figure in Instruction 1 for part identification of items in Figure 4.1.
- Place one of two rubber gaskets (3) under sink flange (2). Ensure sinkhole area is clear of debris and place sink flange/gasket into a sinkhole. You may wish to place a weighted object in the sink to hold the sink flange in place. (Place a towel under the object to prevent scratching.)
- Working under the sink, slip second rubber gasket (3), fiber gasket (4), and metal backup ring (5) (flat side up) over the sink flange.
- Holding second rubber gasket, fiber gasket, and metal backup ring in place, slip mounting ring (6) over sink flange so it seats against the backup ring.
- With the rubber gasket. fiber gasket, backup ring, and mounting ring tight against sink bottom turn the mounting ring until it can be fixed in the backup ring.
- Tighten three mounting screws (7) up to sink until the mounting assembly is seated tightly and evenly against the sink.
CLEAN SINK WASTE PIPE
Failure to clean sink waste pipelines may result in waste pipe blockage.
- Remove trap. (See Figure 5.1)
- With drain auger, clear away all hardened waste material in horizontal drain line running from drain trap to the main pipe.
IF YOU ARE NOT CONNECTING A DISHWASHER TO A DISPOSER, SKIP AHEAD TO INSTRUCTION 7.
DISHWASHER ATTACHMENT AND OVERFLOW CONNECTION
Wastewater from a dishwasher can be plumbed into the disposer through the inlet access on the upper part of the disposer. There is a plug on the inside of the inlet tube on all models. Once removed, the knockout plug cannot be replaced.
NOTE: If the dishwasher connection is made without removing the plug, the dishwasher may overflow. (Connections must comply with local plumbing codes.)
REMOVE KNOCKOUT PLUG
- Lay disposer on its side and insert a screwdriver into dishwasher inlet so tip rests on the outer edge of the knockout plug.
- Tap the end of the screwdriver handle with a hammer until molded plug breaks loose (see Figure 6.1).
- Remove loose knockout plug from the inside disposer. If you have a sink overflow, it should be connected to the overflow inlet on the tailpipe (see Figure 6.2).
CONNECT DISPOSERT OM COUNTING ASSEMBLY
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid personal injury, do not position your head or body under the disposer; the unit could fall during installation.
Clear any objects from inside the disposer grind chamber before mounting the disposer to the sink.
- Position disposer with three mounting tabs (1) aligned in position to slide over mounting tracks (2). (See Figure 7.1)
- Lift disposer, insert top end (mounting gasket) into the mounting assembly and turn the lower mounting ring to the right (with wrenchette or adjustable pliers) until mounting tabs lock over ridges (3) on mounting ring tracks (see Figure 7.2). Make sure all three mounting tabs are locked over ridges. The disposer will now hang by itself.
- Run water into sink, then check for leaks.
ATTACH DISCHARGE TUBE TO WASTE DRAIN PIPE
CAUTION
PROPERTY DAMAGE
- Wearing safety glasses is recommended during the installation of the food waste disposer.
- Do not use plumber’s putty on any other disposer connection other than on the sink flange. Do not use thread sealants or pipe dope. These may harm disposer and cause property damage.
- Regularly inspect disposer and plumbing fittings for water leaks, as water leaks can cause property damage. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for property damage as a result of water leaks.
DISCHARGE TUBE INSTALLATION
- Place metal flange (2) over-discharge tube (4). Insert rubber gasket (1) with gasket lip facing the metal flange into the discharge tube. (See Figure 8.1)
- Secure metal flange and discharge tube to disposer with two 13 mm bolts (3).
- Put the rubber plug (5) on the housing through the drain pipe. (Only FCD-714A have rubber plug(5)) ALL DISPOSERS CONTINUE WITH STEPS 3-6
- Rotate disposer so that discharge tube is aligned with drain trap. (To prevent leaks, do not pull or bend discharge tube to drain trap.) If the discharge tube is too short, you can purchase an extension from the hardware store. (Disposer must remain in a vertical position to prevent vibration.)
- Place nut, then ferrule on discharge tube (not supplied) and tighten on drain trap. (If you have a double sink, use separate drain traps for both sides of the sink.)
- Ensure the lower mounting ring is still securely locked over ridges on the mounting flange.
- Place stopper in sink in close position. Fill the sink with water, remove the stopper and check for leaks.
CONNECT DISPOSER TO ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
- To avoid electrical shock, disconnect power before installing or servicing the disposer.
- If you are not thoroughly familiar with electric power, contact a
qualified electrician to connect the disposer to an electrical circuit. - If a three-prong, earth (grounded) plug is used, plug must be inserted into a three-hole, earth (grounded) receptacle.
- Do not modify plug provided with the unit (if applicable).
- Improper connection of equipment earth (grounded) conductor can result in electric shock.
- All wiring must comply with local electrical codes.
- Do not attach earth wire (ground wire) to the gas supply pipe.
- Do not reconnect electrical current at the main service panel until proper earth (grounded) outlets are installed.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
NOTE: You must have access to earth (grounded) wall socket. Any additional socket should be fitted by a qualified electrician and properly earthed (grounded). The disposer is fitted with a molded plug and cable

Disposer does not start | Reset button has been tripped. | • With the splash guard removed, check to see if the turntable will move freely using a broom handle. If the turntable moves freely, replace the splash guard and check the reset button to see if it has been tripped. The reset button is red and located opposite the discharge elbow, near the bottom of the disposer. Push the button in until it clicks and remains depressed. If the reset button has not been tripped, check for a shorted or broken wire connecting to the disposer. Check the electrical power switch, fuse box or circuit breaker.

The turntable can not rotate. | • If the turntable does not turn freely, check for an object lodged between the turntable and the grind ring. Dislodge the object by moving the turntable with a broom handle. Then remove the object.
• If no foreign object is present, there may be internal problems. |
Disposer leaks
If the leak is at the top, it may be caused by:
- Improper seating of sink flange (gasket choice, putty or tightening).
- The support ring is not tightened properly.
- Defective cushion mount. If the leak is at the discharge elbow, the leak may be caused by improper tightening of elbow flange screws.
