Using the Trash Compactor
Compactor
What It Does
and How It
Works
Your compactor reduces household trash to as
little as one-fourth of its original volume.
It compacts most refuse, including paper,
cans, bottles, jars, plastic containers, wrappings,
sweepings and some food wastes.
Drop trash into the disposable bag (designed for
compactor use) that lines the compactor trash
drawer and close the drawer. When you start the
compactor, an electrically operated ram moves
down into the drawer, compacts trash, moves
back up again-and the compactor shuts off
automatically.
NOTE:The trash drawer must be at least 1/2 full
before you will notice compaction because the
ram does not travel all the way down into the
drawer. By adding trash, compaction is
transferred to the items below until oil trash
is compacted.
ON/OFF
Knob
The removable knob is provided for your
protection as a safety measure. When the knob
switch is in the OFF position, the compactor will
not operate.
Child Lockout Instructions:
Lock the compactor when it is not in
use, by removing the knob. This will keep children
from operating the compactor and prevent
anyone from tampering with it.
Drawer
Safetg
Switch
The compactor has two safety switches to
ensure that the drawer is in its fully closed
position for operation. The compactor will not
cycle without the drawer being fully closed.
