IfYouNeedServiceOrAssistance

We suggest you follow these steps:

1. Before calling for assistance ...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

If your compactor won’t operate:

Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage?

Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

Is the drawer completely closed?

Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START

before it is released (TC4700rTU4700 model series)?

Is the Key-Switch turned to ON (TC8700/ TC8750 model series)?

Did you press the ON button before pressing the START button (TC8700rTC8750 model series)?

Drawer won’t open:

Drawer will open only when ram is all the way

up.

To raise the ram, turn the Key-Knob to START and release (TC4700rTU4700 model series).

To raise the ram, press the OFF button, then press the ON button (TC8700rTC8750 model series).

If trash is not compacting:

lIs the drawer loaded properly? If anything gets between the ram and the drawer, the ram will return to the “up”position, without compacting.

lDrawer must be at least l/3 full before compactor will compact.

Not enough compaction or force:

lCompacting works best when only a few items are loaded. Use the compacting cycle frequently.

Bottles don’t break:

lNot all bottles will break every time, depending on the bottle and the trash load below it.
