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 1⁄8" (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 “A”).

To adjust for other cabinet opening heights, loosen screw just enough to clear stud from hole in position “A”. Move the rear wheel and stud to position “B” or “C” as needed for your cabinet opening measurement:

Position B: 341⁄4" to 347⁄16" (87 to 87.5 cm)

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

Tighten screw. Repeat for other rear wheel.

2.Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from cabinet. Adjust legs so there will be a 1⁄8" (3 mm) to 1⁄4" (6.4 mm) space between the top of the compactor and the top of the cabinet opening. Stand the compactor upright.

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

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

Using the two #8 -18 x 5⁄16" (8 mm) 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 “A”.

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

If the compactor is to be midway between “A” and “C”, place retaining bracket screws through “B”.

5.Carefully lift the front slightly and roll compactor into the cabinet opening.

Another notable feature is its unique, stainless-steel cabinet and an elegant front panel that exudes modern sophistication while ensuring durability.

Additionally, all models come equipped with a one-touch control system that allows users to initiate compaction with minimal effort. This user-friendly interface makes it accessible for individuals of all ages. Some variants also include a foot pedal option for hands-free operation, enhancing hygiene while keeping your hands free for other tasks.

The compactor's auto-reverse mechanism prevents jams, ensuring uninterrupted service. Meanwhile, the powerful hydraulic system delivers reliable performance, making it one of the most robust options on the market.

Another essential characteristic of the KitchenAid Trash Compactor is its built-in odor control. With a charcoal filter feature, it effectively eliminates unwanted smells, ensuring a fresh kitchen environment even during heavy usage periods.

In conclusion, the KitchenAid Trash Compactor models KUCC151, 403, and KCCC151 are designed with innovative technologies and thoughtful features that address the needs of contemporary kitchens.
