observed. The following are some limited examples of safe practices.
DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to complete it in a safe 1.
and satisfactory manner.
Before servicing or moving an appliance, remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the 2.
circuit breaker to the OFF position, or remove the fuse.
Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.3.
USE ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE. SUBSTITUTIONS MAY 4.
DEFEAT COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY STANDARDS SET FOR HOME APPLIANCES.
GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or GREEN WITH 5.
YELLOW STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be used as current-carrying conductors. It is
EXTREMELY important that the service technician re-establish all safety grounds prior to completion
of service. Failure to do so will create a hazard.
Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:6.
All electrical connections are correct and secure•
All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges, high-temperature •
components, and moving parts
All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc., are adequately spaced away from •
all metal parts and panels
All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely connected•
All panels are properly and securely re-assembled•

How the compactor works
The compactor compresses household trash up to 1/6 of its original volume. It will compact normal household trash
including milk cartons, glass and plastic bottles, containers and jars, tin cans, wrappings, boxes, food wastes, etc.
When you start the compactor, an electrically powered ram moves down into the trash bucket, compresses the trash
and then returns to the “UP” position and shuts off automatically.
NOTE: The ram travels about 2/3 of the way down into the trash bucket. Because of this, the trash bucket must be at
least 1/3 full before you will notice any compression.

Your compactor has been designed to require minimum
space without loss of capacity whether free-standing or
built-in.
Free-Standing
As shipped, the compactor is only congured for built-in
installations. This appliance can be converted from builtin to free-standing with the use of Toe Kick Accessory Kit
Model 15TCTK (sold separately).
If additional cord length is required for free-standing
installation, remove the cord clamp and wire tie on the
back of the unit.
Failure to use Toe Kick Assembly Kit Model 15TCTK in
a free-standing installation may cause the compactor
to be unstable during operation.

Two under-counter mounting straps are provided. Use
these straps to secure the compactor to the underside
of a countertop.
Fasten the slotted end of the straps to the compactor
using the holes in the top of the compactor cabinet as
shown.
NOTE: When installation compactor under granite or
solid surface countertops, bend the mounting straps so
they can be secured to the adjacent cabinetry.
