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

legs so there will be a ¹⁄₈" (3 mm) to ¹₄" (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 location.

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 ⁵₁₆" (8 mm) 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 “1.”

■ If the compactor drawer front is to be flush with the

cabinet front, place retaining bracket screws through “3.”

■ If the compactor is to be midway between “1” and “3,”

place the retaining bracket screws through “2.”

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

compactor should be at least

¹₈" (3 mm) from the top of the

cabinet opening. The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet opening of 34¹⁄₄"

(87 cm). See Position “1” in picture following.

To adjust for other cabinet opening heights:

■ Loosen self-tapping screw just enough to clear stud from

hole in Position “1.”

■ Move the rear wheel and stud to Position “2” or “3” as

needed for your cabinet opening measurement: Position “2”: 34¹⁄₄" to 34⁷⁄₁₆" (87 to 87.5 cm) Position “3”: 34⁷⁄₁₆" to 34⁵⁄₈" (87.5 to 88 cm) NOTE: To level the compactor in position “3,” you may need to add shims under the leveling legs.

■ Tighten screw. Repeat for other rear wheel.

Changing the Decorative Panel

There are three options for changing the decorative panel:

■ Order an acrylic panel

■ Create a custom panel for use with a trim kit

■ Create a custom panel for installation without trim

To order an acrylic panel or a trim kit, see the “Assistance or Service” section for information or call the toll-free number on the cover.

7. Grasp sides of compactor drawer and place bottom of

drawer into tracks. Lift at the handle so drawer will go over drawer stops. Close drawer. Check that the drawer opens freely. If the toe plate rubs against floor, see “Adjusting the Toe Plate” for further instructions.

Adjusting the Toe Plate

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 compactor. (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.

Air Freshener

The solid air freshener system is designed to help control odors that might develop in the trash. An air freshener disc can be purchased in department stores (not sold with compactor). Place the disk-shaped solid air freshener into the air freshener compartment. The air freshener should last 4 to 6 weeks. It is used more rapidly when the temperature is high or the air is very dry.

Use these dimension drawings to create a custom panel for use with a trim kit.

Flat Panel:

A ⁷⁄₃₂" (5.6 mm) thick panel is required. This is the same thickness as a standard ¹⁄₄" (6,4 mm) plywood or paneling.

Raised Panel:

The outer section of panel must be ⁷⁄₃₂" (5.6 mm) thick to fit into the trim. Use the dimensions shown when designing raised panel sections.

Trimless Panel with Handle

Dimensions

Use these dimensions drawings to create a custom panel for use without a trim kit. The panel should be ¹⁄₂" to ⁵⁄₈" (13 mm to 16 mm) thick.

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

COMPACTOR USE

How Your Compactor Works

The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which compresses the trash. The compacting ram does not go to the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash the first few times you load the compactor.

NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than ¹⁄₂ full before the compactor can begin to compress the load.

You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may not break at all. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about ¹⁄₄ the size of its original bulk.

Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer. Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch then senses a “misload” and causes the ram to return to the “up” position without compacting.
