A trash compactor uses a negligible amount of energy. Total energy
requirements associated with the trash compactor will be minimized by
following the recommendations in the Use and Care Guide.

Service Information

It is assumed that your trash compactor has been properly installed in
accordance with all specifications and local codes and that the
appliance has been properly grounded. If your trash compactor should
fail to operate, check the troubleshooting guide before calling your
dealer. You could save the cost of a service call.
If your trash compactor should fail to operate:
- - Have you read and followed the instructions provided with this unit?
-Is a fuse blown or the circuit breaker open?
-Is the trash drawer tightly closed? It is possible for a cycle to be
incomplete when the drawer has not been firmly closed before turning
the key to START. If this occurs, the unit will shut-off, but the drawer
cannot be pulled open. Close the drawer firmly and turn the key to
START. The ram will return to the original "up" position. Drawer will
open only when ram is all the way up.
-Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded. Use the
compacting cycle frequently.
-Not all bottles will break every time, depending upon trash load
below.
If compactor stops during operation:
-Push drawer in while turning key to start. Repeat if necessary.
-Rearrange trash load. Do not load rigid items in front of drawer.
-Drawer must be at least 1/3 full to see compaction.
If Service is Required:
1. Call your dealer or authorized service agency. The name of the
authorized service agency can be obtained from the dealer or
distributor in your area.
2. Have the following information available:
-Model number
-Serial number

3. Clearly describe the problem you are experiencing.
