COMPACTOR USE

How Your Compactor Works

The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which
compresses the trash.
IMPORTANT: The compacting ram stops 7" (18 cm) from the
bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash until
the drawer is more than half full.
You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles
may not break. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about a
quarter the size of its original bulk.

NOTE: You will not see compacting of trash the first few times
you load the compactor. The compactor drawer should be at
least half full before the compactor can begin compressing
the load.
1. Open the drawer. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot
pedal to open the drawer.
NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the drawer only
3" to 6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), dependent upon the load.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Cover glass items when compacting to better contain
fragments.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. Place trash in compactor.
Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.
Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors,
such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable
diapers, or personal hygiene items.
Load bulky trash in the center of the drawer.
Load bottles and cans on their sides in the center of
the drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.
3. Close the drawer.
