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. For model with cabinet, remove the plastic plugs from the
compactor cabinet top.
4. Move the compactor close to its final position.
5. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

flush with the cabinet front.
Using the two #8-18 x
⁵ ₁₆" 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.”
7. Slowly lift the front slightly and roll compactor into the cabinet
opening.
Using the two #8-18 x
¹ ₂" 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.

8. 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 to see if 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 unit. (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.
