BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
MOUNTING STRAPS
Two under-counter mounting straps are provided. Use
these straps to secure the compactor to the underside of
a countertop. Fasten the slotted end of the straps to the
compactor using the holes in the top of the compactor
cabinet as shown.
NOTE: When installing compactor under granite or solid-
surface countertops, bend the mounting straps so they can
be secured to the adjacent cabinetry.
UNDER-COUNTER OPENING
The compactor requires a minimum under-counter opening
15-in. wide, 34½-in. high, and 22-in. deep.
Plan to provide an electrical
outlet in the opening that
meets all applicable electrical
codes and requirements. See
“Grounding Instructions”
section on Page 1 for specific
information.

UNPACKING THE TRASH
COMPACTOR
The trash compactor is shipped from the factory with
packing material in the trash bucket and the ram in the down
position. Return the ram to the up position by plugging the
unit in, turning the key lock switch to the “ON” position
and closing the door. Once the door is closed the unit will
run and the ram will travel to the “UP” position. Open the
trash bucket and remove the packing material.
Your Broan Elite Compactor has been designed to require
minimum space without loss of capacity whether free-
standing or built-in.
FREE-STANDING
As shipped, the Compactor is only configured for built in
installations. This appliance can be converted from built-
in to free-standing with the use of Toe Kick Accessory Kit
Model 15TCTK (sold separately). If additional cord length
is required for free-standing installation, remove the cord
clamp and wire tie on the back of the unit.
CAUTION: Failure to use Toe Kick Accessory Kit Model
15TCTK in a free-standing installation may cause the
compactor to be unstable during operation.
