IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING COMPACTOR.
Basic precautions should always be taken when using an electrical appliance
–including the following:
1.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is operated near children. Do not allow the appliance to be used as a toy, or to run unattended at any time. Turn key to “OFF” and remove it to lock the compactor. Store the key out of reach to prevent children or others from operating or tampering with the compactor.
2.Do not push trash into compactor drawer with hands or feet. Trash might contain broken glass, sharp pieces of metal, etc., which would cause injury.
3.Do not compact volatile material. Paint, oily rags, lighter fluid cans, and paint thinner cans could combust spontaneously and cause an explosion and/or fire.
4.Do not compact aerosol cans or any other containers still holding toxic chemicals, insecticides, or combustible contents. Fumes may be released which are hazardous to health.
5.Do not compact lighted cigarettes, cigars, or other hot or burning items.
6.Do not overload the compactor.
7.Be careful when removing and carrying bag. Broken glass or other sharp objects may pierce bag.
8.Do not operate this unit with an extension cord.
9.Use only Broan approved accessories.
10.Do not touch moving parts.
11.Do not take this appliance apart. Incorrect reassembly can cause electrical shock when operated.
12.Do not operate with a damaged power cord, plug, motor, or after damage of any kind. Have the compactor examined, and all repairs made, by an authorized serviceman.
13.This compactor is FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Use it only as described in this manual.
14.Unplug the appliance from outlet before servicing.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
IMPORTANT — Please read carefully.
Fig. 1
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The power cord on this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounded) receptacle. (Fig. 1)
If there is a two-prong outlet located where you will install the compactor, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.
The GREEN (or GREEN & YELLOW) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the GREEN (or GREEN & YELLOW) wire to a live terminal.
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., A.C., 15 amp fused and grounded electrical supply is required (time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). It is recommended that a SEPARATE CIRCUIT serving only this appliance be provided.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
INSTALLATION
Your Broan Compactor has been designed to require minimum space without loss of capacity whether free-stand- ing or built-in.
FREE-STANDING
The unit should usually be placed where the bulk of trash is generated — kitchen, utility room, or garage.
LEVELERS
Your compactor has four adjustable levelers which allow you to adjust for uneven floors and also trim the unit up to fit the under-counter installation snugly.
To level the unit, tip the compactor to one side and turn the levelers out only far enough to properly level the unit. Do the same on the other side, until the unit sits level on the floor. Check the unit from front to back, and side to side.
3
For proper operation, the compactor must be level with all four legs properly adjusted. For proper drawer pedal operation, the unit must be level.
UNDER-COUNTER INSTALLATION
Fig. 2
Your compactor has been designed to require a minimum of space whether free-standing or built-in. Only 12” wide x 20” deep, your compactor is smaller than most on the market. (Fig. 2)
To install compactor under counter, use Figure 2 to determine the cutout size. Back up compactor with a 2 x 4 to prevent unit from shifting backwards due to repeated closing of compactor drawer. The power outlet should be installed per electrical code near the center of the opening or unit, and 15” to 18” from the floor.
The bag storage compartment allows you to store bags and air fresheners conveniently. The swing open storage compartment door allows easy access to bags, etc.
IMPORTANT: Make sure compactor can be easily removed (slid out) from under counter in case service is ever necessary. DO NOT fasten compactor to cabinets, countertop, or floor. Do not install flooring material after compactor is placed under the counter of the flooring may later interfere with the compactor being able to be removed from under counter.
