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 configured for built in
installations. This appliance can be converted from builtin to free-standing with the use of Toe Kick Accessory
Kit Model ETC15TKH (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.
CAUTION: Failure to use Toe Kick Accessory Kit Model
ETC15TKH in a free-standing installation may cause the
compactor to be unstable during operation.
