Undercounter Installation
1. Measure the height of your cabinet opening. The top of the
compactor should be at least
¹₈" (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.
2. Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from cabinet. Adjust
legs so there will be a ¹⁄₈" (3 mm) to ¹₄" (0.64 cm) 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 ⁵₁₆" (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.”
6. Slowly lift the front slightly and roll compactor into the cabinet
opening.
Using the two #8-18 x ¹₂" (12 mm) 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.
Cabinet-front mounting
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.

Installing a Custom Panel
Dimensions
Use these dimension drawings to create a custom panel for use
without a trim kit. The panel should be a minimum of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm)
thick.
Installation
1. Remove the 2 rubber bumpers from the lower corners of the
inside drawer front. Set aside the bumpers and discard the
screws.
2. Align the bottom of the custom panel with the bottom of the
exterior drawer front and rest the panel on the rest tab.
NOTE: The bottom of the custom panel should not extend
below the bottom rest tab at the lower center of the exterior
drawer front.
3. Secure the custom panel to the exterior drawer front by using
four #8 x 1" wood screws from the inside drawer front.
■ Install the top 2 wood screws as shown.
■ Use the bottom 2 wood screws to also re-install the
2 rubber bumpers on each side of the lower inside drawer
while attaching to the custom panel.
4. Attach a 15" x ¹⁄₂" quarter-round filler along the top inside
edge of the drawer front using glue or screws.
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.
Loading
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with
hands or feet.
NOTE: You will not see compacting of trash the first few times
you load the compactor. The compactor drawer should be about
¹⁄₂ full before the compactor can begin to compress the load.
1. Open the drawer. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot
pedal to open the drawer.
NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the container only 3" to
6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.

2. Place trash in compactor.
■ Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.
■ Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors
such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable
diapers, or personal hygiene items.
■ Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.
3. Close the drawer.
Starting Your Compactor
1. Open container. Load trash.
2. Leave Key-Knob in ON position.
3. Set Compress Cycle switch to OFF.
4. Close container.
5. Lift foot pedal UP to START cycle.
Using Compress (Locked) Cycle
The Compress (Locked) Cycle extends the use of the bag by
putting constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing
back. Regular use of a compress cycle can increase bag capacity
up to 25 percent.
During Compress Cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for
extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened
when the ram is down.
For best results, use the Compress Cycle for at least 30 minutes
at a time.
1. Open container. Load trash.
2. Set compactor Compress Cycle switch to ON.
3. Close container.
4. Lift the foot pedal UP to START cycle.
5. Container remains LOCKED untill you RESET by lifting the
foot pedal UP.
Using the Air Filter
1. Set the Air Filter switch to ON. The fan creates air movement
in the compactor for odor removal.
NOTE: The charcoal Air Flter works only when the Key-Knob
is in the ON position.
2. Set the Air Filter switch to OFF to turn off the fan.
Removing a Filled Bag
When the trash is compacted to the top of the drawer, remove
the bag. If the bag is too heavy, compact less trash before
emptying it in the future.
1. Pull the drawer completely open.
2. Remove top of bag from bag retainer buttons. Pull up all four
bag cuffs. Close bag with twist tie provided.
3. Push Side-Lock Latch down and tilt drawer side open.

corners for a smooth fit.
COMPACTOR CARE
Your new compactor is designed to give you many years of
dependable service. However, there are a few things you are
expected to do in order to properly maintain your compactor.
This section will tell you how to clean and care for your
compactor.
Changing the Air Filter
It is recommended that you use the charcoal air filter in the filter
compartment.
To order the correct replacement charcoal filters, call the toll-free
number listed on the cover or in the “Assistance or Service”
section.
1. Insert fingertips in the air filter cover and pull until the side
tabs release. Then, lift the cover to release the bottom tabs.
2. Remove the air filter by pulling the top edge of the filter. The
filter should pull out easily. Throw away used filter.
