Before You Call For Service

If you are having an operating problem, check the list to see what the cause might be before you call for assistance.

OPERATING PROBLEM						CHECK THAT
Compactor		will	not run	.	Compactor is properly connected to
					a live circuit with the proper
					voltage.
				1 Fuse has blown or circuit breaker
					has tripped.
				. Drawer is completely closed.
				.	The key-knob is being turned		all the
					way to START before releasing.
Drawer	will	not open		1	Ram is all the way up.
Trash	is not	compacting		.	Drawer	is loaded properly.
				1 Compactor is l/3 filled.
Not enough		compaction or force		.	Too many items are being put		in
					drawer	before compacting.
Bottles	do not		break	1	Bottles	are centered in drawer.

Plug compactor into a properly grounded outlet. (See Installation Instructions.)

Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.

Push drawer closed.

Restart by turning key-knob all the way to the left.

Turn the key-knob to START and release.

Reload drawer. If anything gets between the ram and the drawer, the ram will return to the “up” position without compacting.

Continue to put trash in compactor and run cycle. Drawer must be at least l/3 full before compactor will compact.

Use the compacting cycle frequently. Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.

Load bottles on their side in the center of the drawer. Not all bottles will break every time, depending on the bottle and the trash below it.
