Undercounter Installation
1. Measure the height of your cabinet opening. The top of the
¹ ₈"
compactor should be at least
(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 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.”
