Installing a New Bag

IMPORTANT:

Before installing a new bag, be sure:

The drawer side is securely locked.

The container is clean and free of debris.

Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed especially for use in your compactor. Order replacement compactor bags through your local dealer or by calling the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Assistance or Service” section.

1.Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top edges over the drawer top.

2.Lock bag in place by pulling the four prepunched holes over the bag retainer buttons. Holes will expand over the buttons without damaging the bag.

3.Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides and corners for a smooth fit.

COMPACTOR CARE

Your new compactor is designed to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you are expected to do in order to maintain your compactor properly. This section will tell you how to clean and care for your compactor.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob (or Key- Switch) to the OFF & LOCK position and remove it.

NOTE: Any services other than those outlined in this section should be performed by a designated service representative.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces

1.Wash exterior surfaces (including stainless steel) with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

2.Wipe up spills right away. Some foods can damage the finish if left on the compactor surface.

Cleaning Inside the Drawer

NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves as there may be bits of glass in the drawer.

1.Remove the bag. (See the “Removing a Filled Bag” section.)

2.Press down on the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock latch).

3.Hold the lever-action lock down and tilt the side of the drawer out until the lock clears the drawer front.

NOTE: If desired, the drawer side can be removed by tilting it up, then lifting it out.

4.Wash the interior of the drawer with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

5.If the drawer side was removed, slide it back into the tilted position.

6.Press the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch) down while pushing the drawer side to the upright position.

7.Latch the drawer side by pushing up the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch).

Cleaning Inside the Cabinet

NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves as there may be bits of glass in the cabinet.

1.Pull the drawer out until it stops.

NOTE: Look to see how the drawer rollers move in the tracks. It will be easier to replace the drawer when you are finished cleaning.

2.Lift the front of the drawer to clear the stops.
