The compactor ram will move down inside the trash drawer,
reverse, and return to original position, completing the cycle in
approximately 35 seconds. As the basket is filled, the ram travels a
shorter distance and cycle time decreases.

As the ram compacts difficult to break items, you may notice a
downward movement of the compactor drawer. This in normal and will
not cause damage. The spring-loaded drawer is specially designed to
move down freely and return to original position. The force of the ram
during a compaction cycle is absorbed by the heavy gauge steel frame
of the compactor.

You may stop or interrupt a compaction cycle at any time and
raise the ram to its original position.
1. Turn the key to STOP/LOCK position to
stop the ram.
2. Turn the key to START position and
HOLD momentarily to return the ram to
original position. The drawer may then
be opened.
3. Turn key to START position and HOLD
to start another cycle.

Charcoal Air Filter with Fan

Your trash compactor features an activated charcoal air filter
and fan which absorbs and minimizes odor. The charcoal filter is
located in the left rear section of the compactor.
The degree of odor in your compactor will depend upon the
type of trash you place in it. Since odors are absorbed into the pores
of the charcoal filter, it may need to be replaced once or twice a year.
Length of time before filter replacement is necessary varies with the
types of trash compacted.
