Safety

Lift the trash drawer handle or press the touch-toe bar and pull the drawer out.

Lift the trash drawer handle or press the touch-toe bar and pull the drawer out.

Remember:

■Bottles and large cans compact best when laid flat near the center of the drawer.

■To help keep the ram clean when compacting messy food waste, place a couple of folded sheets of newspaper or a large grocery bag on top of the load to be compacted.

■Items too bulky to go into the drawer can be folded to fit. If it cannot be folded to fit into the drawer, do not attempt to force it in.

■Folded newspaper will also help prevent glass fragments from flying out of the drawer when compacting a large glass bottle, or several bottles or jars, or any other items that might shatter.

■Although it is not necessary to compact until the drawer is full or nearly full, we suggest that, for maximum compaction, you start the compactor each time a significant amount of trash is added.

Instructions Operating Instructions

Compacting

To start the compactor:

1 Make sure the drawer is fully closed.

2 Turn the key-knob to START. Let go of the key-knob. The motor will start and compacting will proceed.

The ram travels downward into the drawer, compacting the trash. At the bottom of the stroke, the ram automatically reverses direction, retracts out of the drawer, returns to its starting position, and the compactor shuts off automatically.

The cycle takes about one minute.

As the trash drawer fills, cycle time gets progressively shorter.

NOTES:

■Glass bottles can make a loud noise when they break during compaction. This is normal. Also, bottles in the trash drawer will not always break during the first cycle. Breaking glass and associated noise may occur several cycles later, depending on the type and volume of the trash.

■When bottles and cans are compacted, small tears in the bag may occur. This is normal and in no way affects the performance of the compactor. Keep the bag away from your body to prevent injury from sharp objects that may have pierced the bag.

CAUTION:

■Do not force the key-knob when turning. The key-knob should always rotate easily. Forcing may break the key-knob and damage the switch.

■When emptying waste baskets into the trash drawer, some items may spill into the compactor behind the drawer. Items behind the drawer could prevent it from closing completely and prevent the compactor from operating. To remove such items from behind the drawer, open the drawer and, if necessary, remove it to clean them out. See the

Care and Cleaning section.

To stop the compactor:

The compactor may be stopped at any time.

1 Turn the key-knob to LOCK/OFF.

2 Turn the key-knob to ON and the compacting ram moves back up to its starting position.

3 You can then open the drawer. To restart the compactor turn the key-knob to START.
