Almost everything normally placed
in your kitchen garbage can be
placed in a trash compactor, with
the exception of paint, oil, aerosol
cans and other hazardous materials.
2
Six bags reduced to one. And five fewer trips to the garage.
No one really talks about it. The waste can under the kitchen sink.
It’s a necessary evil, or so they say. But that all changes with a
Broan Elite Trash Compactor.
Broan has been designing these convenience appliances for
nearly 40 years, refining the product while defining the category.
And the result? A new line of products that is the perfect
complement to today’s high-style appliances, and
environmentally-conscious homeowners.
Broan Elite XE and Broan Elite
trash compactors take convenience,
hygiene and style to a new level.
But beautiful lines, rich finishes
and automatic cycling features
are just part of the story.
Inside is a clean compartment, a crushing mechanism with 3,000
pounds of continual force, electronic controls, odor reduction systems
and Microban® antimicrobial protection. But what you take outside
is what really makes a difference.
Broan helps reduce your waste volume by 75%, and while that’s
fewer steps to the garage, it’s also less volume at the curb, and a
smaller bundle in the truck that hauls it away. And
that’s when it all makes sense: if everybody
reduced volume, fewer trips would be needed
to the landfill, which means less fuel, less
traffic, and a cleaner environment all the
way around. Who would have thought
it all started under the kitchen sink?

Broan Elite XE
Beauty. Brawn. And intelligence, too.
Broan Elite XE models are available with
an arched stainless steel door, as well as
flat-front doors in stainless steel, white or
black. For a custom look, a wood or tile
insert tray lets you match the materials
and cabinetry in your home. See pages
8 and 9 for more ideas.

Broan Elite XE. Beauty that performs—automatically.
Broan makes everything about trash
removal easier. It starts with a reversible door that opens like a refrigerator, simplifying access to an easyto-reach and clean compartment. To handle the load, ball-bearing slides enable the trash bucket to glide out
effortlessly. Our unique drop-down bucket front means there’s no awkward lifting over the side, and conveniently
placed electronic controls and our auto-delay function let you program the compactor to start when you’re
away. Then, the touch of a single button sets it for duty, and you can forget about it—you’ll never come home
to an overflowing waste receptacle again. But best of all, Broan Elite XE compactors keep odors in check.
Our exclusive system actually helps eliminate odors by neutralizing them, rotates a fresh segment into place
automatically every month, and lets you know when it’s time for replacement.
Broan Elite XE Features
3000 lbs. of continual compaction force and
¾ horsepower motor deliver powerful performance
and 6 to 1 compaction ratio.
Programmable compaction cycle for automatic operation
with 5-minute memory back-up during a power outage.
Six-month, auto advance, odor control system
with disc change indicator.
Full extension, ball-bearing drawer slides.
Stainless steel compacting plate with Microban
antimicrobial protective coating.
Insulated door with magnetic gasket for quiet cycling.
Activation button with status LED.
Fully-enclosed, adjustable height, painted metal cabinet
with fingerprint resistant coating.
Reversible 170° hinged door.
Child lock with removable key provides peace of mind.
Integral bag storage compartment means bags are
always within reach.
Optional toe kick kit for freestanding installations
(see page 10 for details).

Broan Elite. Convenience made easy in a few simple steps.
Like its more automated
sibling, Broan Elite trash compactors simplify waste containment and removal. A full-swinging, reversible door
opens to an easy-to-clean compartment and a full-extension trash bucket. Its simplified control panel requires
just two settings to start the process. Turn the activation key, close the door and touch one button. That’s
it. Removing the compacted bag is easy, too—lower the bucket front and slide the bag forward to the floor.
There’s no more lifting over the side. Broan Elite compactors also use our exclusive six-month odor control
and neutralizing system. Rotate the dial once a month and afresh segmentis ready to work.

Personalize your style.
Broan trash compactors let you make your own design
statement. If you prefer to have appliances blend in
seamlessly with your cabinetry, select a trash compactor
designed to accept a wood insert door front. Your
cabinetmaker simply creates an insert with a profile
that matches your doors or drawers.
To accent tile backsplashes or to carry the rich
textures of the floor vertically, consider a compactor
with a tile insert door front.
Of course, the coordinated look can
be achieved as well with appliance
matching solids in rich gloss black
or white, or classic stainless steel.
Whatever you choose, Broan has
you covered.
