drawer still removed from the compactor 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 location.
3. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
4. Slowly move compactor into its final position. Check that
compactor is still level. Repeat Step 1 if necessary.
5. 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 whether drawer
opens freely. If the toe plate rubs against floor, see "Adjusting
the Toe Plate" for further instructions.
