COMPACTOR USE

How Your 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.

1.Open the drawer. Lift and pull the handle or press the toe bar to open the drawer.

NOTE: Pressing the toe bar opens the container only 3" to 6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.

2.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.

3.Close the drawer.
