Using Solid (Locked) Cycle

The Solid (Locked) Cycle extends the use of the bag by putting

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.

fan.
