Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Recommended Grounding Method

This compactor is for use on a single phase, 115-volt, 60

Hz, AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused and properly ground- ed circuit and is equipped with a grounding plug as shown below. Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommend- ed. it is recommended that a separate circuit serving only

this appliance be provided. In the event of an electrical

short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Do not modify the plug attached to the compactor; use only

with a grounded receptacle.

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 compact- ing of trash the first few times you load the compactor.

NOTE: The compactor drawer should be about 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 _ 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 senses a "misload" and causes the ram to return to the "up" position without compacting.

This compactor must be grounded while in use to reduce the risk of electric shock. The compactor is equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor inthe cord is the ground- ing wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. The outlet should be properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
