COMPACTOR USE
• Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which
compresses the trash. The compacting ram does not go to the
bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash the
first few times you load the compactor.
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than 1/2full before
the compactor can begin to compress the load.
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 1/4the size of its original bulk.
3. Close the drawer.
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer.
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught
between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch
then senses a "misload" and causes the ram to return to the "up"
position without compacting.
The WHISPER QUIET ® Plus system helps to maintain a quiet
home environment during compactor operation.
NOTE: The contents of the trash may affect the noise level of
your compactor. See "Compactor Use."

The Solid (Locked) Cycle extends the use of the bag by putting
constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back.
Regular use of solid cycle can increase bag capacity up to
25 percent.
During Solid Cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for
extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened
when the ram is down.
For best results, use the Solid Cycle for at least 30 minutes at a
time.
