How Your Compactor Works
The compacting ram does not go to the drawer bottom.
You will not see compacting of the first few loadings.
Compaction starts after the drawer is about !A full. You
may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass
bottles may not break at all.
The trash in a full compactor bag will be about l/4 the
size of its original bulk.
Bottles or cans not placed in the centre may become
caught between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer
Monitor Switch senses a "mislead" and causes the
ram to return to the "up" position without compacting.
Load bulky trash, bottles and cans in the centre of
the drawer.
