Choosing
the
location
This compactor is designed as a built-in appliance
only. It may be located in any convenient space under
a countertop. DO NOT OPERATE FREE-STANDING
because the compactor will tip over when the drawer
is pulled out.

7
Installation
in a
corner
If compactor is to be located in or near a corner of
base cabinets, a minimum of 2" clearance from the
corner is recommended. This is necessary to prevent
adjacent cabinet door handles from interfering with
the compactor drawer.
Do not install flooring material after compactor is
placed under the counter. This will limit ability to
service.
If there is an appreciable difference in floor height
between where the compactor is to be installed and
the floor of the kitchen, add runners of the minimum
height necessary to make floor level.

Step 1
Determine
toekick
depth
Place a section of the carton on the floor for
protection. Lay the compactor on its back, supporting
it with a piece of wood to prevent pressure on the
power cord.
Measure the toekick of an adjacent cabinet, from
the front of the cabinet door to the front of the
toekick (Dimension A).
Note: If a custom toekick board
is used, its thickness must be
accounted for in dimension “A”.
See step 6.
With the compactor laying on its back, locate the six
Phillips head screws on the bottom, positioned inside
of the movable base.
Loosen these six screws. Slide base to set dimensions
“A”as shown.
Tighten screws making sure base does not move.
Note: If an alternate toekick depth
dimension is required, follow the
procedure above and adjust the
base accordingly. The base can be
adjusted from 2-3/4" to 4-1/4" from
the compactor front panel.

Step 3
Positioning
the compactor
backstop
A backstop should be installed to prevent the
compactor from “walking”back when the drawer
is closed.
Measure and mark 16" back from the front edge of
the cabinet toekick. Cut a 2x4, 10" long and anchor
to the floor.
Note: If using a custom toekick, add that
thickness to the 16" measurement.
Measure height “B”from the underside of the
countertop to the floor where the compactor
will be setting.
With the compactor still laying on its back, adjust
leveling feet to 1/16" less than the measurement
of “B”. Place the plastic leveling feet caps over the
leveling feet and stand compactor upright.

Step 5
Attach
tip-over
brackets
Position tip-over brackets on the top of the
compactor. Match hole #3 of the bracket to the screw
hole on the compactor (the 3rd hole on the bracket
is the standard location). Attach tip-over bracket to
compactor with one slotted head screw on each side.
•Remove the compactor drawer for easier handling.
•Then position the compactor just in front of the
cabinet opening.
•PLUG POWER CORD INTO THE WALL
RECEPTACLE.
•Slide compactor back into cabinet opening.
Note: Make certain that the
leveling feet caps are on the
leveling feet and the power
cable is not under compactor.
The short leg of anti-tip bracket should be completely
under the lip of the countertop but not so far back
that the screws can’t be put in. If the bracket is not in
the proper location, pull the compactor back out far
enough to get to the top screws and reposition the
bracket to the appropriate hole.
Drill (4) 1/8" dia. x 1/2" deep pilot holes in the
underside of the countertop at the location of the
four holes in the short leg of the anti-tip bracket.
Caution: Do not drill up through the top of the countertop.
Secure anti-tip bracket to countertop with 4 Phillips
head screws (supplied) on each side.

(continued)
If the countertop cannot be drilled into, slip the 90°
clips over the short leg of the bracket and screw into
the face of the cabinet.

To install custom toekick (not supplied) measure the
front of the compactor’s adjustable base and use those
dimensions to cut out your custom toekick. Secure as
appropriate to installation.
Note: The custom toekick should
be installed in such a manner that
it can be removed if service is
required.
