opens and closes freely. If the toe guard rubs against floor, 
see “Adjusting the Toe Guard” for further instructions.

Adjusting the Toe Guard

If the toe guard rubs the floor covering, the toe guard clearance 
may be changed as follows:
1. Mark on each side of the toe guard the amount of toe guard 

that rubs the floor covering.

2. Remove the drawer from the compactor. (See Steps 7-9 in 

the “Unpacking” section.)

3. Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line between the 

marks on each side of toe guard.

4. Use scissors or utility knife to cut toe guard along line.
5. Replace drawer. If toe guard still rubs floor covering, repeat 

steps 1-4.

Installing a Custom Panel

Dimensions

Use these dimension drawings to create a custom panel for use 
without a trim kit. The panel should be a minimum of 

¹⁄₂

" (1.3 cm) 

thick.

Installation

1. Align the bottom of the custom panel with the bottom of the 

exterior drawer front and rest the panel on the rest tab.
NOTE: The bottom of the custom panel should not extend 
below the bottom rest tab which is located at the lower center 
of the exterior drawer front.

2. Secure the custom panel to the exterior drawer front by using 

four #8 x 1" wood screws from the inside drawer front at the 
locations shown in the picture. There are 7 holes available for 
use.

3. Attach a 15" x 

¹⁄₂

" quarter-round filler along the top inside 

edge of the drawer front using glue or screws.

COMPACTOR USE

How Your Compactor Works

The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which 
compresses the trash. The compacting ram stops 7" (178 mm) 
from the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of 
trash until the drawer is more than ½ full.
NOTE: You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass 
bottles may not break. The trash in a full compactor bag will be 
about 

¹⁄₄

 the size of its original bulk. 

Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer. 
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught 
between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch will 
sense a “misload” and causes the ram to return to the “up” 
position without compacting.
