Undercounter Installation

NOTE: Installation hardware is not provided with full cabinet models.

1.Measure the height of your cabinet opening. The top of the compactor should be at least ¹₈ " (3 mm) from the top of the cabinet opening.

The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet opening height of 34¹⁄₄" (87 cm) (Position 1).

To adjust for other cabinet opening heights:

■Loosen self-tapping screw just enough to clear stud from hole in position “1.”

■Move the rear wheel and stud to position “2” or “3” as needed for your cabinet opening measurement: Position 2: 34¹⁄₄" to 34⁷⁄₁₆" (87 to 87.5 cm)

Position 3: 34⁷⁄₁₆" to 34⁵⁄₈" (87.5 to 88 cm)

NOTE: To level the unit in position “3,” you may need to add shims under the leveling legs.

■Tighten screw. Repeat for other rear wheel.

3.For model with cabinet, remove the plastic plugs from the compactor cabinet top.

4.Move the compactor close to its final location.

5.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

6.Determine if you want the compactor frame or drawer front flush with the cabinet front.

Using the two #8-18 x ⁵₁₆ " screws, install the retaining brackets to cabinet top as needed:

■If the compactor frame is to be flush with the cabinet front, place retaining bracket screws through “1.”

■If the compactor drawer front is to be flush with the cabinet front, place retaining bracket screws through “3.”

■If the compactor is to be midway between “1” and “3,” place the retaining bracket screws through “2.”
