IMPORTANT:
• Do not grasp console to move compactor.
• Slide compactor onto cardboard or hardboard
before moving compactor across floor to prevent
damaging floor covering.
• Do not allow the rear frame of the compactor to
touch the floor covering when lifting or moving
compactor.
Freestanding installation:
1. Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from cabinet.
Place level inside on the floor of the cabinet. Check
that the compactor is level from front to back and side
to side. Adjust the leveling legs until the compactor is
level.
2. Move the compactor close to its final position. Plug
the power supply cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet.
3. Carefully move compactor into its final position.
Check that compactor is still level. Repeat step 1
if necessary.
4. 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 if drawer
opens freely. If the toe plate rubs against floor, see the
"Adjusting the Toe Plate" section for further instructions.
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
top of the cabinet opening.
The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet opening
height of 34 1 ⁄ " (87 cm) (Position "A").
