Items should be placed directly into the drawer. It is not
necessary to run a compaction cycle everytime you place trash into the
drawer. However, the more often you run a cycle, the more compact
the trash will be.

Your trash compactor is
equipped with a versatile two-
piece, polypropylene basket. It is
designed for easy use and removal
of compacted trash. The break-
away basket may be used with or
without the enclosed
complimentary supply of trash bags.
