Installation Instructions
Measure the height of your cabinet opening.
The top of the compactor should be at least
1/8
″ (3 mm) from the top of the cabinet
opening.
The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet
opening height of 34-1/4
″ (87 cm)
(Position “A”).
To adjust for other cabinet opening heights,
loosen screw just enough to clear stud from
hole in position “A”. Move the rear wheel and
stud to position “B” or “C” as needed for your
cabinet opening measurement:
Position B: 34-1/4
″ to 34-7/16″
(87 to 87.5 cm)
Position C: 34-7/16
″ to 34-5/8″
(87.5 to 88 cm)
Tighten screw. Repeat for other rear wheel.

Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from cabinet. Adjust legs so there will be a 1/8
″ (3 mm)
to 1/4
″ (6.4 mm) space between the top of the compactor and the top of the cabinet opening.
Stand the compactor upright.

Use pliers to lower leveling legs away from
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. 7
Determine if you want the compactor frame
or drawer front flush with the cabinet front.
Adjust the retaining brackets to the cabinet
top as needed:
If the compactor frame is to be flush with the
cabinet front, place retaining bracket screws
through “A”.
If the compactor drawer front is to be flush with
the cabinet front, place retaining bracket
screws through “C”.
If the compactor is to be midway between
“A” and ”C”, place retaining bracket screws
through “B”.
