COMPACTOR USE

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 1/2full 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 ¼ the size of its original bulk.

', _ I

I I I I I I

I I

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 "mislead" 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 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.

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.

During the EXTRA PACTM cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for extra compacting. While the EXTRA PACTM cycle is operating, an indicator light glows on the control panel. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened when the ram is down. For best results, use the EXTRA PACTM cycle for at least

30 minutes at a time.

To use EXTRA PAC TM cycle

Press EXTRA PACTM on the compactor control. Turn the Key- Knob to START, and then release the Key-Knob. The compacting ram will stay in the down position, and the drawer cannot be opened.

NOTE: The indicator light on the control panel shows when the EXTRA PACTM cycle is in use.

After 30 minutes or more, turn the Key-Knob to START to raise the compacting ram or press NORMAL PAC.

The EXTRA PACTM cycle extends the use of a bag by putting constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back. Regular use of the EXTRA PACTM cycle can increase bag capacity up to 25%.

The solid air freshener system is designed to help control odors that might develop in the trash. An air freshener disc can be purchased in department stores (not sold with compactor). Place the disk-shaped solid air freshener into the air freshener compartment. The air freshener should last 4 to 6 weeks. It is used more rapidly when the temperature is high or the air is very dry.

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.

To remove a filled bag

Pull the drawer completely open.

You may already have a paper or plastic bag in place. Please refer to appropriate instructions for your bag.

• Ifyou have a paper bag, lift and fold up the top folded edges of the bag. Fold ends in and bring side flaps

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Trash is not compacting The drawer won't open

• Is the drawer less than half-full? Drawer must be more than half full before trash is compacted.

Your compactor won't operate

• Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

• Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor again.

• Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START? Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) fully to START and release (on some

models). See "Starting Your Compactor."

• Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON before pressing START (on some models). See "Starting Your

Compactor."

• Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is fully raised.

To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or Key-

Switch): Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) to START and release. See "Starting Your Compactor."

To raise the ram on models with push button controls:

Press OFF, and then press ON. See "Starting Your Compactor."

There is not enough compaction or force

• Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough? Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.

Bottles don't break

• How often do you notice this? Bottles will not break every time. The thickness of the bottle's glass and the content of the trash load below it may prevent the bottle from breaking.
