HowYourCompactorWorks

The compacting ram does not go to the drawer bottom. You will not see compacting of the first few loadings.

Compaction starts after the drawer is about % full. 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 ‘/4 the size of its original bulk.

Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch senses a “mislead” and causes the ram to return to the “up”position without compacting. Load bulky trash, bottles and cans in the center of the drawer.
