Q: Questionwhat is panel ready

Asked 9 years ago by trashman.

• A:Answer Panel ready means the appliance gets delivered without a front. You would then go to a cabinet maker so they can design a custom panel and pull handles to match the cabinets in your kitchen. This way at a glance you would not know there was an appliance there as it would seamlessly blend in with you cabinets

Q: QuestionCan this unit be used as a free standing piece?

Asked 5 years ago by John.

This question was asked about the related product: KitchenAid - 1.4 Cu. Ft. Built-In Trash Compactor - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer There is no reason it couldn't. It would be rather bulky, it is not a small appliance. It is designed to fit under a cabinet, but it would still work free standing.

Q: QuestionAre these any good to compact plastic recycling? Thinking of milk jugs etc. Almost all of our trash is packaging. Our bio waste goes into the yard for composting.

Asked 2 years ago by Dolphins.

This question was asked about the related product: KitchenAid - 1.4 Cu. Ft. Built-In Trash Compactor - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Why not? But.. only if you do same sort of packaging. It would hinder waste management from separating cans, glass and plastics if you toss them in together.

Q: QuestionWill this fit in an opening of 33 3/4” high if the wheels are taken off?

Asked 5 years ago by Bev.

This question was asked about the related product: KitchenAid - 1.4 Cu. Ft. Built-In Trash Compactor - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer This will probably fit very tightly without taking the wheels off. I measured my opening and it is right about that size for height and it fit without removing anything. It was a tight fit. Your tightest area will be the two machine screws at the top of the unit. I put this unit in to replace an old Jenn Air that tightly fit in the same space.
