■

If the compactor drawer front is to be flush with the 
kitchen cabinet face, place retaining bracket mounting 
screws through “3.”

■

If the compactor is to be midway between “1” and “3,” 
place the retaining bracket mounting screws through “2.”

9. Slowly lift the front slightly and roll compactor into the kitchen 

cabinet opening.

10. Using 2 - #8 - 18 x 

¹₂" mounting screws (provided in 

conversion kit), fasten the retaining brackets (provided in 
conversion kit) to the countertop with the mounting screws.

NOTE: If retaining brackets cannot be attached to the 
underside of countertop, attach mounting clips (provided in 
conversion kit) to retaining brackets. Fasten compactor to 
kitchen cabinet face with mounting screws through the 
mounting clips.

11. Grasp the sides of the compactor drawer and place the 

bottom of the drawer into the tracks. 

12. Lift at the handle so the drawer will go over the drawer stops. 

13. Close the drawer. 

14. Check that the drawer opens freely. If the toe plate rubs 

against the floor, see “Adjusting the Toe Plate” for further 
instructions.

If the toe plate rubs the floor covering, the toe plate clearance 
may be changed as follows:

1. Mark on each side of the toe plate the amount of toe plate 

that rubs the floor covering.

2. Remove the drawer from the unit. See Step 3 in the 

“Unpacking” section.

3. Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line between the 

marks on each side of toe plate.

4. Use scissors or utility knife to cut toe plate along line.

5. Replace drawer. If toe plate still rubs floor covering, repeat 

steps 1-4.

Use these dimensions drawings to create a custom panel for use 
without a trim kit. The panel should be 

¹⁄₂" to ⁵⁄₈" (1.3 cm to 

1.6 cm) thick.

NOTE: A thicker panel may need rounded front corners and a 
cutout for access to the handle.
