WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
When moving or lifting the compactor, use a glove to protect
and cushion you hand. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury.
CAUTION: FLOOR DAMAGE
Do not allow the rear frame of the compactor
to touch the floor when lifting or rolling.
Doing so could damage floor covering.
1. Remove compactor from shipping carton. Remove all protective packaging materials such as tape and shipping
pads. Waxy residue from protective shipping material may be removed with a mild solution of liquid household
cleanser and water.
2. Check that power supply cord is attached to the cord bracket on the rear of the
compactor.
3. Measure the height of the cabinet opening from the underside of the
countertop to floor. Subtract 1/4” (.6 cm) from this measurement. Adjust
compactor to this height using pliers to lower the compactor leveling feet away
from the compactor.
4. Move compactor to final position. Turn key to STOP/LOCK position.
5. Place level on top of compactor. Check that compactor is level from front to
back and side to side. Adjust the four leveling feet until compactor is level.
Allow at least 1/4” (.6 cm) clearance between the compactor top and
countertop.
6. Install anti-tip bracket. See instructions below
7. Read use and care manual to fully understand your new compactor. Keep all
literature in a safe place for future reference.

1. After leveling legs, measure from the floor to the top of the compactor base plate from the backside. See Figure 1.
This “A” measurement will determine the height needed for the bracket.
2. Measure from the floor to the bottom of the bracket with the measurement “A” + 1/8” (0.3 cm) and mark the two
holes with a marker or pencil. Place the two screws into the bracket and tighten firmly to wall. See Figure 2. Note:
Place the screws into a wall stud for better stability.
3. Plug power supply cord into grounded outlet. Move compactor into final position, making sure the bracket fits

ADJUSTING TOE PLATE
If the toe plate rubs the floor covering, the toe plate
clearance may be changed as follows:
1. Mark on each side of the toe plate the amount of toe
plate that rubs the floor.
2. Fully open compactor drawer. Remove drawer retaining
screws from track assembly on each side of drawer.
Carefully remove the drawer from the track assembly.
Place drawer on its back on top of two corner posts from
carton.
3. With a ruler and a pencil or chalk, draw a line where the
toe plate interferes with the floor covering.
4. Use a pair of scissors or a utility knife to cut toe plate
along line.
5. Carefully slide drawer back into track assembly. Check
the toe plate clearance. If toe plate still rubs floor
covering, repeat steps 1-5.
6. When toe plate is adjusted properly, reattach drawer to
track assembly with the two retaining screws.
