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.
6
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.
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.
Starting Your Compactor
1. Open container. Load trash.
2. Leave Key-Knob in ON position.
3. Set Compress Cycle switch to OFF.
4. Close container.
5. Lift foot pedal UP to START cycle.
Using Compress (Locked) Cycle
The Compress (Locked) Cycle extends the use of the bag by
putting constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing
back. Regular use of a compress cycle can increase bag capacity
up to 25 percent.
During Compress Cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for
extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened
when the ram is down.
For best results, use the Compress Cycle for at least 30 minutes
at a time.
1. Open container. Load trash.
2. Set compactor Compress Cycle switch to ON.
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 foot
pedal to open the drawer.
NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the container only 3" to
6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.
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 container.
4. Lift the foot pedal UP to START cycle.
5. Container remains LOCKED untill you RESET by lifting the
foot pedal UP.
Using the Air Filter
1. Set the Air Filter switch to ON. The fan creates air movement
in the compactor for odor removal.
NOTE: The charcoal Air Flter works only when the Key-Knob
is in the ON position.
2. Set the Air Filter switch to OFF to turn off the fan.
3. Close the drawer.
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 four
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 four 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.
2. Remove the air filter by pulling the top edge of the filter. The
Changing the Air Filter
