CLEANING YOUR SINK'S
DRAIN LINE.
NOTE:
In case of new construction,
you may skip this step.
The cutting
elements
on your old disposer
were probably
worn and not grinding
the waste
completely,
Your drain line
may be partially blocked,
We recommend
cleaning
the line
before connecting
your new Kenmore
disposer.
You can do the job yourself
with a drain auger, Remove
the
drain trap and, using the auger,
clean out the horizontal
drain
pipe that runs from the trap to the main waste
pipe.
