Using the Trash Compactor

Compactor

Loading

Slightly lift and pull the compactor door handle or press the foot pedal and pull the drawer out.

Remember:

•To help keep the ram clean when compacting messy food waste, place a couple of folded sheets of newspaper 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 is also helpful 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.

Compacting

To start the compactor:

1.Turn the knob to ON.

2.Make sure the drawer is fully closed.

3.Lift the foot pedal up to start cycle.

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 less than 30 seconds. As the trash drawer fills with trash, cycle time gets progressively shorter.

NOTES:

•You will not see compacting of trash the first few times you load. The compactor drawer should be about 1/2 full before the compactor can begin to compress the load.

•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 apply too much force when turning the knob. The knob should always rotate easily. Forcing may break the 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 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.Attempting to open the drawer while the ram is moving will stop the ram. The safety switch will activate.

2.Close the drawer completely and the ram will travel back to the UP position.

3.Open the drawer fully and turn the knob to OFF.
