Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

WARNING—When using this appliance,

always exercise basic safety precautions,

including the following:

• This compactor is for household use only.

Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this manual.

• To prevent hazard of electrical shock, this

compactor must be properly installed and

grounded in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used. SAVE YOUR

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTURE USE SHOULD YOU MOVE OR

RELOCATE YOUR COMPACTOR. If you did

not receive an Installation Instruction sheet with

your compactor, you can obtain one by contacting

the service location nearest you.

• Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is operated near children. Do not

allow the compactor to be used as a toy, or to run

unattended at any time.

• Turn the key to OFF and remove it when not

compacting trash. This will help prevent anyone

from tampering with the compactor or children

from operating it.

• Do not push trash into the drawer with hands

or feet. Trash might contain broken glass, sharp

pieces of metal or other sharp objects that might

cause injury.

• When removing or carrying the trash bag,

keep the bag away from your body. Sharp objects

may have pierced it.

• When cleaning the inside of the cabinet,

be careful. Glass fragments may be stuck to

the ram or be lying in the bottom of the cabinet.

• When cleaning the trash drawer, be careful.

Glass fragments may be imbedded in the surface

of the drawer.

• Do not touch moving parts.

• Do not operate with a damaged cord set, plug,

motor or after damage in any manner. Have the

appliance examined, repaired or adjusted by an

authorized serviceman.

• Do not take apart this appliance. Incorrect

reassembly can cause electric shock when

subsequently used.

• Do not compact food waste such as raw meat

and fish, grapefruit rinds, personal hygiene

items and disposable diapers. These items

create very strong odors and should not go

into the compactor.

Precautions against unreasonable use of your

compactor:

• Never compact shotgun shells, cartridges

for firearms, fireworks, etc., which are highly

explosive.

• Never compact flammable materials such as

paint, oil- or gasoline-saturated rags, engine

starting fluid cans, paint thinner cans, etc.—

spontaneous combustion or explosive vapor

concentrations could occur.

• Never compact containers of toxic chemicals

such as strong insecticides or other poisonous

materials—compaction could release hazardous

fumes.

• Never compact aerosol cans containing explosive

or highly toxic chemicals. (If you are sure the

aerosol cans contain non-hazardous materials

such as shaving cream, cheese spread and

whipped cream, they may be compacted.)

• Do not compact lighted cigarettes, cigars or other

hot or burning items.

• Unplug the compactor before making any

repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any

servicing be performed by a qualified person.

• DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG

OR AN EXTENSION CORD WITH

THIS APPLIANCE.

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.
