COMPACTOR USE
How Your Compactor Works
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which compresses
the trash. The compacting ram does not go to the bottom of the
drawer. You will not see compacting of trash the first few times you
load the compactor.
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than ¹⁄₂ full before the
compactor can begin to compress the load.
You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may
not break at all. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about ¹⁄₄ the
size of its original bulk.
2. Place trash in compactor.
■ Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.
■ Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors
such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable diapers,
or personal hygiene items.
■ Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.
3. Close the drawer.
Starting the Compactor
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer.
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught
between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch then
senses a “misload” and causes the ram to return to the “up” position
without compacting.
Loading
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with hands or
feet.
NOTE: You will not see compacting of trash the first few times you
load the compactor. The compactor drawer should be about ¹⁄₂ full
before the compactor can begin to compress the load.
1. Open the drawer. Lift and pull the handle or press the toe bar to
open the drawer.
NOTE: Pressing the toe bar opens the container only 3" to 6"
(7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.
To Start and Stop the Compactor
1. To start the compactor, turn the Key-Knob to START and then let
go. The compactor will automatically stop at the end of the cycle.
2. To stop the compactor during a cycle:
■ Turn the Key-Knob to LOCK/OFF.
■ Then turn the Key-Knob to ON so the compacting ram will
rise.
■ When the ram stops rising, you can open the drawer.
To Remove the Key-Knob
1. Turn the Key-Knob to the LOCK/OFF position.
2. Remove the Key-Knob and store it out of children’s reach.
7
Removing a Filled Bag
When the trash is compacted to the top of the drawer, remove the
bag. If the bag is too heavy, compact less trash before emptying it in
the future.
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with hands or
feet.
1. Pull the drawer completely open.
2. Remove top of bag from bag retainer buttons. Pull up all 4 bag
cuffs. Close bag with twist tie provided.
3. Push Side-Lock Latch down and tilt drawer side open.
4. Lift out bag.
Installing a New Bag
Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed especially for
use in your compactor. Order replacement compactor bags through
your local dealer or by calling the toll-free number on the cover or in
the “Assistance or Service” section.
IMPORTANT:
Before installing a new bag, be sure:
■ The drawer side is securely locked.
■ The container is clean and free of debris.
1. Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top edges
over the drawer top.
2. Lock bag in place by pulling the 4 prepunched holes over the bag
retainer buttons. Holes will expand over the buttons without
damaging the bag.
3. Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides and corners
for a smooth fit.

COMPACTOR CARE
Your new compactor is designed to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you are expected to do in
order to properly maintain your compactor. This section will tell you how to clean and care for your compactor.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) to
the OFF & LOCK position and remove it.
NOTE: Any services other than those outlined in this section should
be performed by a designated service representative.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
1. Wash exterior surfaces (including stainless steel) with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not
use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a
soft cloth.
2. Wipe up spills right away. Some foods can damage the finish if
left on the compactor surface.

in the drawer.
1. Remove the bag. See “Removing a Filled Bag.”
2. Press down on the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock latch).
Cleaning Inside the Cabinet
NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of glass
in the cabinet.
1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.

will be easier to replace the drawer after you have finished
cleaning.
2. Lift the front of the drawer to clear the stops.
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the way.
Set the drawer down gently.

then lifting it out.
4. Wash the interior of the drawer with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
5. If the drawer side was removed, slide it back into the tilted
position.
6. Press the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch) down while
pushing the drawer side to the upright position.
7. Latch the drawer side by pushing up the lever-action lock (or
Side-Lock Latch).
4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash
should be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum cleaner
designed to pick up liquids.
5. Wash the inside of the cabinet with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
6. To replace the drawer, grasp it by the sides and insert the rollers
onto the tracks.
7. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in fully past the stops.
