Installation Built-In Compactors Installation in a corner If compactor is to be located in or near a corner of base cabinets, a minimum of 2" clearance from the corner is recommended. This is necessary to prevent adjacent cabinet door handles from interfering with the compactor drawer. Level the opening Do not install flooring material after compactor is placed under the counter. This will limit ability to service.
Installation Built-In Compactors Step 1 Determine toekick depth Place a section of the carton on the floor for protection. Lay the compactor on its back, supporting it with a piece of wood to prevent pressure on the power cord. Measure the toekick of an adjacent cabinet, from the front of the cabinet door to the front of the toekick (Dimension A). Note: If a custom toekick board is used, its thickness must be accounted for in dimension “A”. See step 6.
Installation Built-In Compactors Step 3 Positioning the compactor backstop A backstop should be installed to prevent the compactor from “walking” back when the drawer is closed. Measure and mark 16" back from the front edge of the cabinet toekick. Cut a 2x4, 10" long and anchor to the floor. Step 4 Setting the height Note: If using a custom toekick, add that thickness to the 16" measurement. Measure height “B” from the underside of the countertop to the floor where the compactor will be setting.
Installation Built-In Compactors Step 5 Attach tip-over brackets Position tip-over brackets on the top of the compactor.
