INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS (See Fig. I):

CONNECTING TO ELECTRICITY:

KitchenAid Compactors operate on regular

11 5-volt, 60 hertz A.C. electrical services to be
supplied by a LISTED 3-PRONG GROUNDING RE­CEPTACLE. The supply circuit should be pro­tected by a 15 amp. fuse, or circuit breaker.

THE RECEPTACLE OUTLET MUST BE
GROUNDED:

The power cord on a KitchenAid Compactor is
provided with a 3-pronged grounding plug. The
third prong is designed to ground the cabinet elec­trically, thus eliminating the possibility of shock­ing the operator if an internal electrical malfunc­tion should occur.

Fig. 1

It is essential that the electrical outlet into which
the 3-pronged power cord is inserted be properly
grounded. If this is in doubt, a competent electri­cian should be contacted to check the outlet.

To connect the compactor to electricity:

Place compactor in front of proposed under-

1.
counter location. Slide compactor sideways
with enough room to insert 3-pronged plug
into the 3-prong wall receptacle (in shaded
area of Fig. 2). Make certain that the cord is
secured in the clamp at top rear of unit.

NOTE:

els, you should do it prior to plugging the
compactor in. See the separate instruction
sheet included.

2. Turn key to “stop/lock” position.

3. Insert the 3-pronged plug into a 3-prong re­ceptacle. If the wall receptacle is not of the
proper 3-prong grounding type, an electrician
should be consulted.

CAUTION: The use of an extension cord is not
recommended.

Slide compactor into cavity under counter.

DO NOT push the compactor against the plug
as damage to the receptacle and/or plug may
result.

Level the compactor by turning the leveling
feet (Fig. 3) as necessary. A minimum l/4”
(6 mm) clearance MUST BE MAINTAINED be­tween compactor top and counter top for
service accessibility.

6. Check charcoal air filter for proper
installation.

For a few special installations where the leveling feet (Fig. 3) have been set to the low screwed-in posi­tion, and/or if the compactor is mounted on an extra thick shag or similar type carpet, the rubber kick­board molding (Fig. 3) might drag on the carpet when the drawer is opened. Should this happen, simply
remove the kickboard (Fig. 3) and cut the molding (Fig. 3) with a pair of scissors to suit your installation.

For conversion of a built-in model to a freestanding unit, a laminated wood top kit: KCLW-200, (Part #

4164800) is available from your KitchenAid dealer. Conversion instructions are furnished with the kit.
