have:
1. Closed the trash drawer.
2. Turned the key/knob to start.
OFF will stop the ram movement at any point. After stopping the unit,
turn the key to START and ram will return to original “up” position.
WWAARRNNIINNGG::
Do not allow children to operate the compactor. We
recommend that you remove the key/knob when not in use. The unit will
not operate without it. Before running a compactor cycle, always check
to be sure that no item has been mistakenly placed in the trash drawer.
Loading Your Compactor
LLaarrggee CCaappaacciittyy TTrraasshh DDrraawweerr
Items should be placed directly into the drawer. It is not necessary to run
a compaction cycle everytime you place trash into the drawer. However,
the more often you run a cycle, the more compact the trash will be.
BBrreeaakk--AAwwaayy TTrraasshh BBaasskkeett
Your trash compactor is
equipped with a versatile two-
piece, polypropylene basket. It
is designed for easy use and
removal of compacted trash.
The break-away basket may be
used with or without the
enclosed complimentary supply
of trash bags.

Compacted trash may contain broken glass, metal cans and other sharp
objects. Always use the half basket to dump trash.
