CONNECTING TO ELECTRICITY:
KitchenAid Compactors operate on regular
115-volt, 60 hertz A.C. electrical services to be
supplied by a LISTED 3-PRONG GROUND-
ING RECEPTACLE. The supply circuit should be
protected by a 15 amp. fuse, or circuit breaker.
It is essential that the electrical outlet into which
the 3-pronged power cord is inserted be properly
grounded. If this is in doubt, a competent electri-
cian should be contacted to check the outlet.
To connect the compactor to electricity:
1.
Place compactor in front of proposed under-
counter location. Slide compactor sideways
with enough room to insert 3-pronged plug
into the 3-prong wall receptacle (in shaded area
of Fig. 2). Make certain that the cord is secured
in the clamp at top rear of unit. NOTE: If it is
desired to change the front panels, you should
do it prior to plugging the compactor in. See
the separate instruction sheet included.
THE RECEPTACLE OUTLET MUST BE
GROUNDED:
The power cord on a KitchenAid Compactor is
provided with a 3-pronged grounding plug. The
third prong is designed to ground the cabinet
electrically, thus eliminating the possibility of
shocking the operator if an internal electrical
malfunction should occur. 2. Turn key to “stop/lock” position.

3. Insert the 3-pronged plug into a 3-prong
receptacle. If the wall receptacle is not of the
proper 3-prong grounding type, an electrician
should be consulted.
CAUTION: The use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
4. Slide compactor into cavity under counter. DO
NOT push the compactor against the plug as
damage to the receptacle and/or plug may re-
sult.
5. Level the compactor by turning the leveling
feet (Fig. 3) as necessary. A minimum l/4”
clearance MUST BE MAINTAINED between
compactor top and counter top for service
accessibility.
6. Check charcoal air filter for proper installation.
For a few special installations where the leveling feet (Fig. 3) have been set to the low screwed-in position,
and/or if the compactor is mounted on an extra thick shag or similar type carpet, the rubber kickboard
molding (Fig. 3) might drag on the carpet when the drawer is opened. Should this happen, simply remove
the kickboard (Fig. 3) and cut the molding (Fig. 3) with a pair of scissors to suit your installation.
For conversion of a built-in model to a freestanding unit, a laminated wood top kit (model KCLW-200) is
available from your KitchenAid dealer, Conversion instructions are furnished with the kit.
