As is true of most appliances, proper care is needed to give you continued
satisfaction. Before cleaning the compactor, turn the knob to the OFF position
and remove. If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the
compactor bag. Lock the compactor by removing the knob, and store it in a
safe place.
