1. Measure the height of your cabinet opening. The top of the
compactor should be at least
¹₈
"
(3 mm) from the top of the
cabinet opening.
The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet height of 34
¹₈
"
(87 cm). See Position “1” in the following picture.
To adjust for other cabinet opening heights:
■
Loosen self-tapping screw just enough to clear stud from
hole in Position “1.”
■
Move the rear wheel and stud to Position “2” or “3” as
needed for your cabinet opening measurement:
Position “2”: 34
⁷₁₆
" to 34
¹¹⁄₁₆
" (87.5 to 88.1 cm)
Position “3”: 34
¹³⁄₁₆
" to 35" (88.4 to 88.9 cm)
NOTE: To level the compactor in position “3,” you may
need to add shims under the front leveling legs.
■
Tighten screw. Repeat for other rear wheel.
2. Use pliers to lower front leveling legs away from cabinet.
Adjust legs so there will be a
¹⁄₈
" (3 mm) to
¹₄

between the top of the compactor and the top of the cabinet
opening. Stand the compactor upright.
3. Move the compactor close to its final location.

■
Insert screws into the holes from the inside of the drawer.
■
Place handle on the front of the drawer and align handle
screw holes with screw ends.
5. Tighten screws snugly.

front flush with the kitchen cabinet face.
Using the two #8-18 x ½" (13 mm) screws, install the retaining
brackets to cabinet top as needed: the screws are supplied
for postition 2.
■
If the compactor frame is to be flush with the cabinet
front, place retaining bracket screws through “1.”
■
If the compactor drawer front is to be flush with the
cabinet front, place retaining bracket screws through “3.”
■
If the compactor is to be midway between “1” and “3,”
leave the retaining bracket screws through “2.”
8. Slowly lift the front slightly and roll compactor into the cabinet
opening.
9. Using the two #8-18 x
¹₂
" (13 mm) screws (provided), fasten
the retaining brackets to the countertop with the mounting
