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 pre-punched 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.
