Basic precautions should always be taken when using an electrical
appliance – including the following:
1. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
operated near children. Do not allow the appliance to be
used as a toy, or to run unattended at any time. Turn key to
"OFF" and remove it to lock the compactor. Store the key
out of reach to prevent children or others from operating or
tampering with the compactor.
2. Do not push trash into compactor drawer with hands or feet.
Trash might contain broken glass, sharp pieces of metal,
etc., which would cause injury.

cans, and paint thinner cans could combust spontaneously
and cause an explosion and/or fire.

contents. Fumes may be released which are hazardous
to health.

burning items.
