Installing
1.Measure the height of your kitchen cabinet opening. The top of the compactor should be a minimum of ¹ " (3 mm) from the top of the kitchen cabinet opening.
The rear wheels are preset for a kitchen cabinet opening height of 34¹⁄₄" (87 cm) (position 1).
To adjust for other kitchen cabinet opening heights:
■Loosen
■Move the rear wheel and stud to position 2 or 3 as needed for your kitchen 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 front leveling legs.
■Tighten screw. Repeat for other rear wheel.

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