The solid air freshener system is designed to help control odors
that might develop in the trash. An air freshener disc can be
purchased in department stores (not sold with compactor). Place
the disk-shaped solid air freshener into the air freshener
compartment. The air freshener should last 4 to 6 weeks. It is
used more rapidly when the temperature is high or the air is very
dry.

NOTE: When the compacting cycle is completed, turn the Key-
Knob to REMOVE. Remove the Key-Knob and store it out of
children's reach.
The EXTRA PAC
TM
cycle extends the use of a bag by putting
constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back.
Regular use of the EXTRA PAC
TM
cycle can increase bag capacity
up to 25%.
The compactor bag should be removed when trash is compacted
almost to the top of the drawer. If bag is too heavy when full,
remove bag when weight is easier to lift and carry.
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with
hands or feet.
NOTE: Use paper or plastic bags made for use in a compactor.
These bags are designed to resist cuts, tears and leaks.
Compactor bags sized to fit compactor drawer make managing
compacted trash easier. Compactor bags are available from your
Sears store or service center.
