may be changed as follows:

that rubs the floor covering.
2. Remove the drawer from the unit. See Step 3 in the
"Unpacking" section.
3. Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line between the
marks on each side of ton plate.
4. Use scissors or utility knife to cut ton plate along line.

steps 1-4.
COMPACTOR USE
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which
compresses the trash. The compacting ram dons 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 Y2 full 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 beg will be
about _/4 the size of its original bulk.

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.

hands or feet.

compactor drawer.
NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the container only 3" to
6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load. Use the
handle to completely pull out the compactor drawer.

such as raw meat, fish, c)rapefruit rinds, disposable
diapers, or personal hygiene items.
• Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.
