Choosing the location

This compactor is designed as a built-in appliance only. It may be located in any convenient space under a countertop. DO NOT OPERATE FREE-STANDING because the compactor will tip over when the drawer is pulled out.

Installation in a corner

If compactor is to be located in or near a corner of base cabinets, a minimum of 2" clearance from the corner is recommended. This is necessary to prevent adjacent cabinet door handles from interfering with the compactor drawer.

22-1/2" Min. 12-1/8" Min. Recessed Outlet 34" Min. 15"Min. 2" 2'

Level the opening

Do not install flooring material after compactor is placed under the counter. This will limit ability to service.

If there is an appreciable difference in floor height between where the compactor is to be installed and the floor of the kitchen, add runners of the minimum height necessary to make floor level.

22-1/2" Min. 12-1/8" Min. Recessed Outlet 15" Min. 34" Min. Add Runners if Necessary to Level Floor.

Installation

Built-In Compactors

Step 1 Determine toekick depth

Place a section of the carton on the floor for protection. Lay the compactor on its back, supporting it with a piece of wood to prevent pressure on the power cord.

Measure the toekick of an adjacent cabinet, from the front of the cabinet door to the front of the toekick (Dimension A).

Note: If a custom toekick board is used, its thickness must be accounted for in dimension "A". See step 6.

Cabinet Door Cabinet A

Step 2 Adjust movable base

With the compactor laying on its back, locate the six Phillips head screws on the bottom, positioned inside of the movable base.

Loosen these six screws. Slide base to set dimensions "A" as shown.

Tighten screws making sure base does not move.

A Movable Base

Note: If an alternate toekick depth dimension is required, follow the procedure above and adjust the base accordingly. The base can be adjusted from 2-3/4" to 4-1/4" from the compactor front panel.

Compactor 2-3/4" to 4-1/4"

Step 3 Positioning the compactor backstop

A backstop should be installed to prevent the compactor from "walking" back when the drawer is closed.

Measure and mark 16" back from the front edge of the cabinet toekick. Cut a 2x4, 10" long and anchor to the floor.

Note: If using a custom toekick, add that thickness to the 16" measurement.

Step 4 Setting the height

Measure height "B" from the underside of the countertop to the floor where the compactor will be setting.

B Floor

With the compactor still laying on its back, adjust leveling feet to 1/16" less than the measurement of "B". Place the plastic leveling feet caps over the leveling feet and stand compactor upright.

Step 5 Attach tip-over brackets

Position tip-over brackets on the top of the compactor. Match hole #3 of the bracket to the screw hole on the compactor (the 3rd hole on the bracket is the standard location). Attach tip-over bracket to compactor with one slotted head screw on each side.

Compactor Top #7 #3 #1

• Remove the compactor drawer for easier handling.
• Then position the compactor just in front of the cabinet opening.
• PLUG POWER CORD INTO THE WALL RECEPTACLE.

The short leg of anti-tip bracket should be completely under the lip of the countertop but not so far back that the screws can't be put in. If the bracket is not in the proper location, pull the compactor back out far enough to get to the top screws and reposition the bracket to the appropriate hole.

Drill (4) 1/8" dia. x 1/2" deep pilot holes in the underside of the countertop at the location of the four holes in the short leg of the anti-tip bracket.

Caution: Do not drill up through the top of the countertop.

Secure anti-tip bracket to countertop with 4 Phillips head screws (supplied) on each side.
