GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK.

IMPORTANT — Please read carefully.

Fig. 1

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The power cord on this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounded) recep- tacle. (Fig. 1)

If there is a two-prong outlet located where you will install the compactor, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with

aproperly grounded three-prong wall re- ceptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUM- STANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.

The GREEN (or GREEN & YELLOW) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the GREEN (or GREEN & YELLOW) wire to a live termi- nal.

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., A.C., 15 amp fused and grounded electrical supply is required (time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). It is recommended that a SEPARATE CIRCUIT serving only this appliance be provided.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

INSTALLATION

Your Broan Compactor has been designed to require minimum space without loss of capacity whether free-standing or built-in.

FREE-STANDING

The unit should usually be placed where the bulk of trash is generated — kitchen, utility room, or garage.

LEVELERS

Your compactor has four adjustable levelers which allow you to adjust for uneven floors and also trim the unit up to fit the under-counter installation snugly.

To level the unit, tip the compactor to one side and turn the levelers out only far enough to properly level the unit. Do the same on the other side, until the unit sits level on the floor. Check the unit from front to back, and side to side.

3

For proper operation, the compactor must be level with all four legs properly adjusted. For proper drawer pedal opera- tion, the unit must be level.

UNDER-COUNTER INSTALLATION

Fig. 2

Your compactor has been designed to require a minimum of space whether free-standing or built-in. Only 12” wide x 20” deep, your compactor is smaller than most on the market. (Fig. 2)

To install compactor under counter, use Figure 2 to determine the cutout size. Back up compactor with a 2 x 4 to prevent unit from shifting backwards due to repeated closing of compactor drawer. The power outlet should be installed per electrical code near the center of the opening or unit, and 15” to 18” from the floor.

The bag storage compartment allows you to store bags and air fresheners conve- niently. The swing open storage compartment door allows easy access to bags, etc.

IMPORTANT: Make sure compactor can be easily removed (slid out) from under counter in case service is ever neces- sary. DO NOT fasten compactor to cabi- nets, countertop, or floor. Do not install flooring material after compactor is placed under the counter of the flooring may later interfere with the compactor being able to be removed from under counter.
