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 properly maintain your compactor. This section will tell you how to clean and care for your compactor.

Changingthe Charcoal Air Filter

To order the correct replacement charcoal filters call the toll-free number listed on the cover or in the “Assistance or Service” section.

1.Insert fingertips in the Air Filter Cover and pull until the side tabs release. Then, lift the cover to release the bottom tabs.

2.Remove the Air Filter by pulling the top edge of the filter. The filter should pull out easily. Throw away used filter.

3.To replace, push the replacement filter into place. Insert the bottom tabs of the Air Filter Cover and push in until the side tabs snap into place.

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.
