Undercounter Installation
NOTE: Installation hardware is not provided with full cabinet
models.
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 height of
34¹⁄₄" (87 cm) (Position 1).
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 unit 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" (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.
6. Determine if you want the compactor frame or drawer front
flush with the cabinet front.
Using the two #8-18 x ⁵₁₆" 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. Carefully lift the front slightly and roll compactor into the
cabinet opening.
Using the two #8-18 x ¹₂" 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.
