Freestanding and Undercounter Installation
NOTE: Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified installer to assure that electrical installation meets all National and Local codes and ordinances.
Tools and materials needed for installation:
Level | Phillips No. 2 Screwdriver |
Tape Measure | |
Pliers | ⁵⁄₁₆ in. |
Scissors | Utility Knife |
IMPORTANT:
■Do not grasp control panel to move compactor.
■Slide compactor onto cardboard or hardboard before moving compactor across floor to prevent damaging floor covering.
■Do not allow the rear frame of the compactor to touch the floor covering when lifting or moving compactor.
Freestanding installation
1.Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from cabinet. Place level inside on the floor of the cabinet. Check that the compactor is level from front to back and side to side. Adjust the leveling legs until the compactor is level.
2.Move the compactor close to its final position.
3.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
4.Carefully move compactor into its final position. Check that compactor is still level. Repeat step 1 if necessary.
5.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.
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 in. (3 mm) from the top of the cabinet opening.
The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet opening height of 34¹⁄₄ in. (87 cm) (Position A).
To adjust for other cabinet opening heights:
■Loosen
■Move the rear wheel and stud to position “B” or “C” as needed for your cabinet opening measurement: Position B: 34¹⁄₄ in. to 34⁷⁄₁₆ in. (87 to 87.5 cm) Position C: 34⁷⁄₁₆ in. to 34⁵⁄₈ in. (87.5 to 88 cm)
NOTE: To level the unit in position C, you may need to add shims under the leveling legs.
■Tighten screw. Repeat for other rear wheel.

■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 the retaining bracket screws through “B.”
