Grounding Instructions

Polarize 3-prong
grounding type
outlet
The compactor is for use on a single phase, 115volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused and
properly grounded circuit and is equipped with a
grounding plug as shown above. Time delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided. For your personal safety,
the compactor must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a polarized 3-prong grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a correctly polarized mating 3prong grounding type outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. No
adapter should be used with this appliance.

shock or personal injury.

The DENSE PACK cycle
(TU8100 and TF8600 model

The DENSE PACK Cycle is a convenience feature
that allows you to use fewer bags by extending the
use of a bag. This cycle puts constant pressure on
trash to keep it from springing back. Regular use
of this feature can increase bag capacity up to
20%.
NOTE: The cycle selector should be in the
NORMAL position when DENSE PACK-HEAVY
setting is not being used.
To use DENSE PACK Cycle:
1.
Move cycle selector from the NORMAL to
HEAVY setting.
2.
Turn the key-knob to START and release.
3.
The ram will stay in the down position for extra
compacting and the DENSE PACK indicator
light will come on. Remember, the drawer can
not be opened when ram is down and the
DENSE PACK light is on.
4.
For best results, use DENSE PACK-HEAVY
setting for at least one-half hour each time the
cycle is used.
5.
To raise the ram, turn key-knob to START or
move the cycle selector back to the NORMAL
position.
NOTE: Fully compacted trash bags will be heavier
than normal. Handle with care.
