Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrical ground is required

on this compactor.

Do Not ground to a gas pipe.

Do Not change the power
supply cord plug. If it does not
fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

Do Not have a fuse in the

neutral or grounding circuit. A
fuse in the neutral or grounding

circuit could result in an
electrical shock.

Do Not use an extension cord
with this compactor.

Check with a qualified
electrician if you are not sure
the compactor is properly
grounded.

Failure to follow these

instructions could result in
death or serious injury.

If codes permit and a separate
grounding wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified

electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.

Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or
20-ampere, fused 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.

grounding
method

For your personal safety, this
appliance must be grounded.

This appliance is equipped with

a power supply cord having a
3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard,

the cord must be plugged into a

mating, 3-prong, grounding-

type, wall receptacle, grounded

in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 --
latest edition* and all local
codes and ordinances. If a

mating wall receptacle isnot
available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of

the customer to have a properly

grounded, 3-prong, wall
receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.

Go to Step 7.
Undercounter installation:
Measure the height of your

cabinet opening. The top of the
compactor should be at least

1/8" (3 mm) from the top of the

cabinet opening.
The rear wheels are preset for a

cabinet opening height of
34-1/4" (87 cm) (Position "A').

To adjust for other cabinet
opening heights, loosen screw

just enough to clear stud from

hole in position "A'. Move the
rear wheel and stud to position

"B" or "C" as needed for your

cabinet opening measurement:

Position B: 34-1/4" to 34-7/16"'

(87 to 87.5 cm)

Position C: 34-7/16" to 34-5/8"

(87.5 to 88 cm)

Tighten screw. Repeat for other
rear wheel.

• Use pliers to lower leveling

legs away from cabinet. Adjust
legs so there will be a 1/8"
(3 mm) to 1/4" (6.4 mm) space
between the top of the
compactor and the top of the
cabinet opening. Stand the
compactor upright.

Before you call
for service...

If you need

asszstance...

If your compactor does not
operate properly, check the
following before calling for

service.

If the compactor won't operate:

• Is the power supply cord

securely plugged into an
electrical outlet?

• Has the house fuse blown or
circuit breaker tripped?

• Is the drawer completely
closed?

• Is the key-knob turned all the
way to STARTposition before it

isreleased?

If compactor stops during
operation:

• Push drawer in firmly while
turning key-knob to START.

Repeat if necessary.

• Rearrange trash load -- Do

Not load rigid items at front of

drawer.

Trashnotcompacted:

• Drawer must be at least 1/3 full
to see compaction.

Not enough compaction or

force:

• Compacting works best when
only a few items are loaded.

Use the compacting cycle

frequently.

Drawer won't open:

• Drawer will open only when

ram is all the way up. To raise
the ram, push drawer in firmly
and turn key-knob to START.

Release key-knob. Open
drawer and lay items flat in

center of drawer. Start
compactor again.

• If you are using EXTRA PACK,
DENSE PACK, SOLID PACK or

COMPACT/HOLD, make sure
the rocker switch is in the

NORMAL position and the
indicator light is OFF.

Check your Use and Care Guide
for a toll-free number to call, or

call the dealer from whom you
purchased this appliance. The

dealer is listed in the Yellow
Pages of your phone directory
