compactor should be at least 1/8"(3 mm) from the top of the
cabinet opening.
The rear wheels are preset for a cabinet height of 341/8''
(87 cm). See Position "1" in the following picture.
To adjust for other cabinet opening heights:
• Loosen self-tapping screw just enough to clear stud from
hole in Position "1."
Move the rear wheel and stud to Position "2" or "3" as
needed for your cabinet opening measurement:
Position "2": 34716"to 341Vie'' (87.5 to 88.1 cm)
Position "3": 3413/16'' to 35" (88.4 to 88.9 cm)

COMPACTOR USE
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which
compresses the trash. The compacting ram stops 7" (178 mm)
from the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of
trash until the drawer is more than 1/2full.
NOTE: You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass
bottles may not break. The trash in a full compactor bag will be
about 1/4the 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 will
sense a "misload" and causes the ram to return to the "up"
position without compacting.
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
1/2full before the compactor can begins compressing 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), dependent upon 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.
2. SetcompactorCompressCycle switch to ON.

4. Press the foot-actuated START button in with your toe to start
the compacting cycle.
NOTE: During the compacting cycle, the drawer remains locked
until you press the foot-actuated START button to raise the ram.
1. Set the Air Filter switch to ON. The fan creates air movement
in the compactor for odor removal.
NOTE: The Air Filter only works when the Key-Knob is in the
ON position.
2. If you hear noise while the compactor is not in use, it might be
the fan has been left on.
3. Set the Air Filter switch to OFF to turn off the fan.
3. Close the drawer.
1. Open drawer. Load trash.
2. Turn Key-Knob to ON position, i_.
3. Set Compress Cycle switch to OFE
4. Close drawer. \
5. Press the foot-actuated START
button in with your toe to start the
compacting cycle.
NOTE: When the compacting cycle is
completed, open the drawer and turn

Knob and store it out of children's reach.
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. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the
compactor drawer.

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.
Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob to the
OFF position.
NOTE: Any services other than those outlined in this section
should be performed by an authorized service technician.
sSja Hew Bafs
Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed specifically
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 latch is securely locked.
• The drawer is clean and free of debris.
NOTE: An unlatched drawer can cause the drawer monitor
switch to stay open. This will make the ram return and the
compactor will continue to run. Attempt to push the drawer
inwards to stop the compactor. The continuous running of the
compactor can also be attributed to debris inthe drawer area. If it
is difficult to open or close the drawer this may be due to either
the drawer latch not being locked or debris in the drawer area.
1. Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top
edges over the drawer to

It is recommended that you use the charcoal air filter located
under the filter cover.
To order the correct replacement charcoal filters, call the toll-free

section.
1. Insert fingertips in the air filter cover and pull until the side
tabs release. Then, lift the cover to release the bottom tabs.
2. Remove the deodorizer puck, if one exists. To order new
deoderizer pucks, call the toll free number listed on the cover.
3. Remove the air filter by pulling the top edge of the filter. The
filter should pull out easily. Throw away used filter.
4. To replace air filter, push the replacement filter into place.
5. Insert the bottom tabs of the air filter cover and push in until
the side tabs snap into place.
Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob to the OFF &
LOCK position and remove it.
