You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles
may not break at all. The trash in a full compactor bag will be
about ¹⁄₄ the size of its original bulk.

Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors
such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable
diapers, or personal hygiene items.
Using Solid (Locked) Cycle
The Solid (Locked) cycle extends the use of a bag by putting
constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back.
Regular use of the Solid (Locked) cycle can increase bag
capacity up to 25 percent.

Using the Air Filter or Freshener
Installing a New Bag
The fan-powered charcoal Air Filter absorbs and minimizes odor.
The degree of odor in the compactor depends on the type of
trash placed in it. The length of time before the filter needs to be
replaced varies with the type of trash compacted. Under normal
use the filter should be replaced once or twice per year.
Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed especially
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:

Switch) to the OFF & LOCK position and remove it.
NOTE: Any services other than those outlined in this section
should be performed by a designated service representative.

up, then lifting it out.
3. To replace air filter, push the replacement filter into place.
OR
To replace the air freshener, place the replacement in the filter
compartment.

4. Wash the interior of the drawer with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. If the drawer side was removed, slide it back into the tilted
position.
6. Press the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch) down while
pushing the drawer side to the upright position.
7. Latch the drawer side by pushing up the lever-action lock (or
Side-Lock Latch).
5. Wash the inside of the cabinet with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Cleaning Inside the Cabinet
NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves since there may
be bits of glass in the cabinet.
6. To replace the drawer, grasp it by the sides and insert the
rollers onto the tracks.
1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.
7. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in fully past the stops.
NOTE: Look to see how the drawer rollers move in the tracks.
It will be easier to replace the drawer after you have finished
cleaning.
Cleaning the Ram
NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves since there may
be bits of glass on the ram cover.
1. Wipe glass particles off of the ram cover with a cloth or paper
towels.
2. Remove foods with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
2. Lift the front of the drawer to clear the stops.
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the
way. Set the drawer down gently.
Cleaning Before a Vacation
4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash
should be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum
designed to pick up liquids.
If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the
compactor bag. Remove the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) and store
it out of children’s reach.
