This will enable in making the process more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Make use of a knife to trim the plumber\u2019s putty that may be jutting out from the flange. Make sure to do this once you\u2019re done installing the mounting ring.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mounting_the_Garbage_Disposal_Unit\"><\/span>Mounting the Garbage Disposal Unit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Garbage Disposal Unit is properly set up in this step.
