COMPACTOR USE

How the 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.

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.

■ 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

To start and stop the compactor

1. To start the compactor:

■ Turn the Ke y-Swit ch to O N .

■ Press ON.

■ Press START. The compactor will automatically stop at

the end of the cycle.

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.

2. To stop the compactor during a cycle:

■ Press OFF.

■ Press ON. The compacting ram will rise. When the ram

stops rising, you can open the drawer.

To remove the Key-Switch

1. Turn the Key-Switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

2. Remove and store key out of children’s reach.

Removing a Filled Bag

The compactor bag should be removed when trash is compacted almost to the top of the drawer. If bag is too heavy when full, remove bag when weight is easier to lift and carry.

IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with hands or feet.

NOTE: Use paper or plastic bags made for use in a compactor. These bags are designed to resist cuts, tears and leaks. Compactor bags sized to fit compactor drawer make managing compacted trash easier. Compactor bags are available from your Sears store or service center.

4. Lift bag by bag caddy handles. Remove trash bag from compactor and dispose properly.

NOTE: Fully compacted trash bags will be heavy. Handle with care.

To remove a filled bag

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 KeySwitch) 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.

Cleaning Inside the Drawer

3. Hold the lever-action lock down and tilt the side of the drawer out until the lock clears the drawer front.

NOTE: If desired, the drawer side can be removed by tilting it up, 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).

NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of glass 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

Cleaning the Ram

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. NOTE: Look to see how the drawer rollers move in the

tracks. It 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.

NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of glass on the ram cover.

1. Wipe glass particles off of the ram cover with a cloth or paper towels.

2. Remove foods with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Cleaning Before a Vacation

If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the compactor bag. Remove the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) and store it out of children’s reach.

4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash should be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum 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.
