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.
