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)

space between the top of the compactor and the top of
the cabinet opening. Stand the compactor upright.

front flush with the cabinet front.

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”.
