NOTE: Fully compacted trash bags can be heavy. Be sure to
handle with care.
5. Latch the drawer if it was unlatched.
Installing a New Bag
Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed specifically
for use in your compactor. Order replacement compactor bags
through your local dealer or by calling the toll-free number on the
cover or in the "Assistance or Service" section.
IMPORTANT:
Before installing a new bag, be sure:
The drawer latch is securely locked.
The drawer is clean and free of debris.
NOTE: An unlatched drawer can cause the drawer monitor
switch to stay open. This will make the ram return and the
compactor will continue to run. Attempt to push the drawer
inwards to stop the compactor. The continuous running of the
compactor can also be attributed to debris in the drawer area. If it
is difficult to open or close the drawer this may be due to either
the drawer latch not being locked or debris in the drawer area.
1. Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top
edges over the drawer top.
2. Lock bag in place by pulling the four prepunched holes over
the bag retainer buttons. Holes will expand over the buttons
without damaging the bag.
3. Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides and
corners for a smooth fit.
NOTE: The ram can and will tear improperly installed bags.
COMPACTOR CARE
Your new compactor is designed to give you many years of
