WHAT YOUR COMPACTOR DOES
Your compactor compresses household trash up to 1/12 of its original volume. The compactor will take normal household trash including milk cartons, glass and plastic bottles, containers and jars, tin cans, wrappings, boxes, food wastes, etc.
HOW YOUR COMPACTOR WORKS
When you start the compactor, an electrically powered ram moves down into the compactor drawer, compresses the trash and then returns to the “UP” position and shuts off automatically.
NOTE: The ram travels about 2/3 of the way down into the container. Because of this, the container must be at least 1/3 full before you notice any compressing.
KEY LOCK SWITCH
The key lock switch on your compactor is provided for your protection as a safety measure. When the key switch is in the “OFF” position, the compactor will not operate. Lock your compactor, and remove the key for safekeeping to keep children from operating the unit or to prevent anyone from tampering with it.
NOTE: Opening the drawer during operation will stop the unit. If the compactor is stopped during its cycle, it will always move back UP when restarted.
DRAWER SAFETY LATCH (MODELS 1050L & 1051L ONLY)
The drawer latches automatically when closed. To unlatch the drawer, move the lever to the left and pull on the handle.
