Installation

Your compactor has been designed to require minimum 
space without loss of capacity whether free-standing or 
built-in. 

As shipped, the Compactor is only configured for built in 
installations. This appliance can be converted from built-
in  to  free-standing  with  the  use  of  Toe  Kick  Accessory 
Kit Model ETC15TKH (sold separately). If additional cord 
length  is  required  for  free-standing  installation,  remove 
the cord clamp and wire tie on the back of the unit.

caution:

 Failure to use Toe Kick Accessory Kit Model 

ETC15TKH in a free-standing installation may cause the 
compactor to be unstable during operation.

mounting straps

Two  under-counter  mounting  straps  are  provided.  Use 
these straps to secure the compactor to the underside of 
a countertop. Fasten the slotted end of the straps to the 
compactor  using  the  holes  in  the  top  of  the  compactor 
cabinet as shown.

NOTE: When installing compactor under granite or solid-
surface  countertops,  bend  the  mounting  straps  so  they 
can be secured to the adjacent cabinetry.
