Installation

Your compactor has been designed to require minimum space without loss of capacity whether free-standing or built-in.

Free Standing

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.

Built-in Installations

mounting straps

front of compactor

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.

under-counter opening

The compactor requires an under-counter opening 15-in. wide, 345/8-in. high, and 24-in. deep.

Plan to provide an electrical outlet in the opening that meets all applicable electrical codes and requirements. See ???Grounding Instructions??? section on Page 3 for specific information.

cord clamp

The compactor is equipped with a 6-ft. long power cord. Use the cord clamp to prevent excess power cord from being pinched beneath the cabinet during installation or service.
