compresses the trash. The compacting ram does not go to the  
bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash the  
first few times you load the compactor.  
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than ¹⁄₂ full before  
the compactor can begin to compress the load.  
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 one-fourth the size of its original bulk.

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.  
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.  
Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the  
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.  
During the Solid (Locked) cycle, the ram will stay in the down  
position for extra compacting. While the Solid (Locked) cycle is  
operating, an indicator shows on the control panel. The drawer is  
locked and cannot be opened when the ram is down. For best  
results, use the Solid (Locked) cycle for at least 30 minutes at a  
time.

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:

COMPACTOR CARE  
Your new compactor is designed to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you are expected to do  
in order to properly maintain your compactor. This section will tell you how to clean and care for your compactor.  
Changing the Air Filter or Freshener  
Cleaning  
It is recommended that you use either the charcoal air filter or the  
air freshener in the filter compartment. The solid air freshener  
system is an alternative to the air filter and is designed to control  
odors that might develop in the trash.  
Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob (or Key-  
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.  
To order the correct replacement charcoal filters or air fresheners,  
call the toll-free number listed on the cover or in the “Assistance  
or Service” section.  
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces  
1. Insert fingertips in the air filter cover and pull until the side

compartment. Throw away used freshener.  
3. Hold the lever-action lock down and tilt the side of the drawer  
out until the lock clears the drawer front.  
NOTE: If desired, the drawer side can be removed by tilting it  
up, then lifting it out.  
3. To replace air filter, push the replacement filter into place.

Cleaning Before a Vacation  
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the  
way. Set the drawer down gently.  
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.
