Installing a Custom Panel
Dimensions
Use these dimension drawings to create a custom panel for use
without a trim kit. The panel should be a minimum of
¹⁄₂
" (1.3 cm)
thick.
Installation
1. Remove the 2 rubber bumpers from the lower corners of the
inside drawer front. Set aside the bumpers and discard the
screws.
2. Align the bottom of the custom panel with the bottom of the
exterior drawer front and rest the panel on the rest tab.
NOTE: The bottom of the custom panel should not extend
below the bottom rest tab at the lower center of the exterior
drawer front.
3. Secure the custom panel to the exterior drawer front by using
four #8 x 1" wood screws from the inside drawer front.
■
Install the top 2 wood screws as shown.
■
Use the bottom 2 wood screws to also re-install the
2 rubber bumpers on each side of the lower inside drawer
while attaching to the custom panel.
4. Attach a 15" x
¹⁄₂
" quarter-round filler along the top inside
edge of the drawer front using glue or screws.
COMPACTOR USE
How Your Compactor Works
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which
compresses the trash. The compacting ram does not go to the
bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash the
first few times you load the compactor.
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than
¹⁄₂
full before
the compactor can begin to compress the load.
You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles
may not break at all. The trash in a full compactor bag will be
about
¹⁄₄
the size of its original bulk.
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer.
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught
between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch
then senses a “misload” and causes the ram to return to the “up”
position without compacting.
Loading
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with
hands or feet.
NOTE: You will not see compacting of trash the first few times
you load the compactor. The compactor drawer should be about
¹⁄₂
full before the compactor can begin to compress the load.
1. Open the drawer. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot
pedal to open the drawer.
NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the container only 3" to
6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.
