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. Do not overload trash
bag with heavy material such as glass.
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
IMPORTANT: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - PLEASE
READ CAREFULLY.
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 as illustrated above.
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. No adapter shall
be used with this product.
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.

UNPACKING THE TRASH
COMPACTOR
The trash compactor is shipped from the factory with
packing material in the trash bucket and the ram in the down
position. Return the ram to the up position by plugging the
unit in, turning the key lock switch to the “ON” position
and closing the door. Once the door is closed the unit will
run and the ram will travel to the “UP” position. Open the
trash bucket and remove the packing material.
Your Broan Elite Compactor has been designed to require
minimum space without loss of capacity whether freestanding or built-in.
FREE-STANDING
As shipped, the Compactor is only configured for built in
installations. This appliance can be converted from builtin to free-standing with the use of Toe Kick Accessory Kit
Model 15TCTK (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
15TCTK in a free-standing installation may cause the
compactor to be unstable during operation.
