2.Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from cabinet. Adjust legs so there will be a ¹⁄₈" (3 mm) to ¹₄ " (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.Move the compactor close to its final position.
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
■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.”

8.Grasp sides of compactor drawer and place bottom of drawer into tracks. Lift at the handle so drawer will go over drawer stops. Close drawer. Check to see if drawer opens freely. If the toe plate rubs against floor, see “Adjusting the Toe Plate” for further instructions.
Adjusting the Toe Plate
If the toe plate rubs the floor covering, the toe plate clearance may be changed as follows:
1.Mark on each side of the toe plate the amount of toe plate that rubs the floor covering.
2.Remove the drawer from the unit. (See Step 3 in the “Unpacking” section.)
3.Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line between the marks on each side of toe plate.
4.Use scissors or utility knife to cut toe plate along line.
5.Replace drawer. If toe plate still rubs floor covering, repeat steps
