HANDY HINTS
Before you call for service, check these handy hints which may save you the cost of a service call:
1.Is electric cord plugged in securely?
2.Has a house fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?
3.Is the drawer pushed firmly shut?
4.Is the key switch in the “ON” posi- tion?
5.Did you hold the key switch in “START” long enough to start the compaction cycle?
6.If drawer is difficult to close, check to see if any trash has fallen behind the container preventing safety switch closure.
7.The motor has an automatic ther- mal cutout. If you have compacted repeatedly, this protector may have opened the circuit. Wait a few min- utes and the cutout will reclose au- tomatically.
8.The container must be at least 1/2” full of trash before any appreciable
amount of compacting will be apparent as the ram does not travel all the way to the bottom of the con- tainer. Trash in the bottom 1/3 of the container will be crushed during subsequent compacting.
9.On rare occasions, a large can placed near the outer edge of the container may become wrapped around the edge of the ram. This could interfere with the opening of the door. To correct, simple grasp door handle and move the drawer back and forth until the stuck can becomes dislodged.
10.Grease from mechanism may drop into the drawer or be found on the front of the bag early in the life of your compactor. This is not cause for alarm.
11.In the unlikely event that the actua- tor (on the inside of the door) breaks off, the compactor will not operate.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE COMPACTOR IN ANY OTHER MANNER. A replacement actuator can be ordered from your dealer, local service center, or Broan Mfg. Co., Inc., Hartford, WI 53027 (414)
12.To obtain service, provide the unit model number, serial number and nature of any defect in the product or part. The model number, serial number and all other data is shown on the model plate, which is located inside of the bag storage compart- ment, behind the
