Where does the Quiet Collar Sink Baffle go?
To install the Quiet Collar® Sink Baffle, just insert it into the sink hole opening with the “cone-shaped” side facing down.

Why is my InSinkErator leaking?
If the leak is from the dishwasher hose or the drain line, the likely problem is a broken seal between the disposal and any of these lines. The solution is to replace the seal.
