Height AdjustmentHeight adjustment of the rear rollers is not required for a freestanding installation. You can install a freestanding unit under counter. For non-under counter installation, you only need to adjust the front leveling legs and level the unit.
Measure the height of your cabinet opening. The top of the compactor mounting screw head should be at least 1/8″ (3 mm) from the top of the cabinet opening.The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet height of 34 1 /4″ (87 cm). See “Position 1” in the following picture.To adjust for cabinet opening heights greater than 34 1 /4″:• Loosen self-tapping screw just enough to clear stud from a 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 7 /16″ 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. The shims should be approximately 1/4″ (6 mm) thick.• Tighten screw.
Stand the compactor upright. Move the corner posts to the opposite side and lay the compactor on its other side. Adjust the other rear wheel.
Use pliers to lower the front leveling legs away from the compactor cabinet. Adjust the leveling legs to match the position of the rear wheels.Rear Wheel position:Position 1: 3/16″ (4 mm) from the bottom platePosition 2: 9/16″ (14 mm) from the bottom platePosition 3: 3/4″ (19 mm) from the bottom plate

If desired, adjust the brackets to position 1 or 3 as described below:• 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 and3. leave the retaining bracket screws through 2.
Slowly lift the front slightly and roll the compactor into the cabinet opening.
Adjust the leveling legs until the compactor is level and stable. Place a level inside the bottom of the cabinet as shown. Check the compactor leveling side to side and front to rear.

Remove the drawer from the compactor. (See steps 8 and 9 in the “Unpacking” section.)
Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line between the marks on each side of the toe guard. Use scissors or a utility knife to cut the toe guard along the line.

Use 4 #8 x 1″ wood screws to attach the custom panel as shown below. If you are installing the long panel (handle removed) you will have three holes available, for a total of seven screws to attach to the custom panel.
Long Panel Only: A 3/4″ quarter round molding with the following dimensions is suggested to fill the gap left by the removed handle
Reattach the toe guard with the two screws.
Reattach the foot pedal with the two screws.
COMPACTOR USE
How Your Compactor WorksThe compacting ram is the part of the compactor which compresses the trash.IMPORTANT: The compacting ram stops 7″ (18 cm) from the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash until the drawer is more than half full.You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may not break. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about a quarter the size of its original bulk.
Loading
WARNING
Cut HazardDo not push items down into the compactor with hands or feet.Doing so can result in cuts.
NOTE: You will not see compacting of trash the first few times you load the compactor. The compactor drawer should be at least half full before the compactor can begin compressing the load.
Open the drawer. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the drawer.NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the drawer only 3″ to 6″ (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), dependent upon the load.
WARNING
Cut HazardCover glass items when compacting to better contain fragments.Failure to do so can result in cuts.
Place trash in a compactor.• Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.• Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors, such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable diapers, or personal hygiene items.• Load bulky trash in the center of the drawer.• Load bottles and cans on their sides in the center of the drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.
Close the drawer.

Removing a Filled Bag
WARNINGExcessive Weight HazardTwo people may be required to remove and transport the compacted bag.Unlock latch to assist in the removal of the bag.Failure to do so can result in back or another injury.When the trash is compacted to the top of the drawer, remove the bag. If the bag is too heavy, compact less trash before emptying it in the future.
WARNING
Cut HazardDo not push items down into the compactor with hand or feet.Doing so can result in cuts.
To open the drawer, lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal.
Remove the top of the bag from bag retainer buttons. Pull up all four bag cuffs. Close bag with a twist tie.

Installing a New Bag
Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed specifically for use in your compactor. Order replacement compactor bags through your local dealer or by calling the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Accessories” section.IMPORTANT:Before installing a new bag, be sure:• The drawer latch is securely locked.
• The drawer is clean and free of debris.NOTE: An unlatched drawer can cause the drawer monitor switch to stay open. This will make the ram return and the compactor will continue to run. Attempt to push the drawer inwards to stop the compactor. The continuous running of the compactor can also be attributed to debris in the drawer area. If it is difficult to open or close the drawer, this may be due to either the drawer latch not being locked or debris in the drawer area.
Place the folded bag into the drawer. Open the bag and pull top edges over the drawer top.
Lock bag in place by pulling the four pre-punched holes over the bag retainer buttons. Holes will expand over the buttons without damaging the bag.
Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides, and corners for a smooth fit.NOTE: The ram can and will tear improperly installed bags.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
COMPACTOR WILL NOT OPERATE
Check that the power supply cord is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.Check the type of wall plug the compactor is plugged into. It is possible the compactor power cord is plugged into an outlet controlled by a wall switch. This can occur when the wall switch was meant for a garbage disposal outlet.A household fuse may have blown, or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.Check that the drawer is completely closed. Open the drawer to ensure the latch is locked. Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor.Check that the Key-knob is set to ON. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section.
TRASH IS NOT COMPACTING

THE DRAWER WILL NOT OPEN
Push on the drawer front in an attempt to raise the ram. Be sure the latch is locked. Press ON, then press START.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH COMPACTION OR FORCE
Press OFF halfway through the cycle. Press ON, then START to complete the cycle.
BOTTLES DO NOT BREAK
Bottles will not break every time. Factors that affect bottle breakage: The thickness of the bottle’s glass and the content of the trash load below it may keep the bottle from breaking.
COMPACTOR WILL NOT TURN OFF
Push on the drawer front to attempt to engage the drawer monitor switch. Open the drawer and be sure the latch is locked.Debris in the drawer area will cause the door to disengage from the drawer monitor switch, causing the compactor to keep running. This can also keep the compactor from starting.
DRAWER IS HITTING THE CABINET
The cabinet opening should be 151/4″(38.7 cm) minimum with at least a 1/8″ (3.2 mm) clearance on either side.Check that the compactor is centered in the cabinet opening.Check that the latch is locked. An unlatched drawer will cause the front door to be wobbly and offset from the center.Check for debris on the drawer tracks or under the drawer. Debris may cause the drawer to lean to one side or not sit properly on the tracks.The compactor may be set too high or not level. The compactor can be raised or lowered with front leveling.
COMPACTOR MOVING DURING OPERATION
Check that the retaining brackets are installed to the cabinet. See the “Countertop Mounting” or “Cabinet-face Mounting” sections.
DRAWER IS WOBBLYOR LOOSE
NOTE: By design, it is normal for the drawer to move slightly from side to side.An unlatched door will wobble more than normal. Check that the door latch is in the locked position.The screws on the drawer front (door) may be loose. With a Phillips screwdriver, check to ensure the screws holding the door to the drawer are secure.
