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 needed
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
IMPORTANT:
■ Do not grasp control panel to move compactor.
■ Slide compactor onto cardboard or hardboard before
moving compactor across floor to avoid floor covering
damage.
■ 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.
2. With the drawer still removed from the compactor cabinet,
place level inside on the floor of the cabinet. Check that the
compactor is level from front to back and side to side.
3. Adjust the leveling legs until the compactor is level.
4. Move the compactor close to its final location.
5. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
6. Slowly move compactor into its final position.
7. Check that compactor is still level. Repeat Step 1 if
necessary.
8. Grasp sides of compactor drawer and place bottom of
drawer into tracks.
9. Lift at the handle so drawer will go over drawer stops.
10. Close drawer.
11. Check to see whether 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. See “Accessories”
for ordering conversion kit.
1. Measure the height of your kitchen cabinet opening. The top
of the compactor should be at least
¹₈" (0.3 cm) 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 self-tapping screw enough to clear stud from
hole in position 1.
■ 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.
2. Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from compactor
cabinet.
3. Adjust legs so there will be a ¹⁄₈" (0.3 cm) to ¹₄" (0.64 cm)
space between the top of the compactor and the top of the
kitchen cabinet opening.
