■

Do not grasp control panel to move compactor.

■

To prevent damaging floor covering, slide compactor onto 
cardboard or hardboard before moving compactor across 
floor.

■

Do not allow the rear frame of the compactor to touch the 
floor covering when lifting or moving compactor.

1. Measure the height of your cabinet opening. The top of the 

compactor should be at least 

¹₈ in. 

(3 mm) from the top of the 

cabinet opening. 

The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet opening of 34

¹⁄₄ in. 

(87 cm). See Position A in picture following.

To adjust for other cabinet opening heights:

■

Loosen self-tapping 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: 34

¹⁄₄ in. to 34⁷⁄₁₆ in. (87 to 87.5 cm)

Position C: 34

⁷⁄₁₆ 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.

2. Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from cabinet. Adjust 

legs so there will be a 

¹⁄₈ in. (3 mm) to ¹₄ in. (6.4 mm) space 

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

3. Move the compactor close to its final position.

4. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

5. Determine if you want the compactor frame or drawer front 

flush with the cabinet front.

Using the two #8-18 x 

⁵₁₆ in. screws, install the 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 the retaining bracket screws through “B.”

6. Carefully lift the front slightly and roll compactor into the 

cabinet opening.

Using the two #8-18 x 

¹₂ in. screws, fasten the retaining 

brackets to the countertop with the mounting screws.

If brackets cannot be attached to the underside of 
countertop, attach mounting clips to brackets. Fasten 
compactor to cabinet front with mounting screws through 
mounting clips.
