This is the safety alert symbol.  
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.  
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or  
“WARNING.” These words mean:  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't  
immediately follow instructions.  
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

COMPACTOR USE  
2. Place trash in compactor.  
Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.  
How Your Compactor Works  
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which  
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.  
Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors  
such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable  
diapers, or personal hygiene items.  
Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the  
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.  
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 ¹⁄₄ the size of its original bulk.  
3. Close the drawer.  
Starting the Compactor  
Depending on your model, you may have a single control (Style 1)  
or a dual control (Style 2) compactor.  
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer.  
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught  
between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch  
then senses a “misload” and causes the ram to return to the “up”  
position without compacting.  
Style 1  
To start and stop the compactor  
1. To start the compactor, turn the Key-Knob to START and then  
let go. The compactor will automatically stop at the end of the  
cycle.  
2. To stop the compactor during a cycle:

hands or feet.  
NOTE: You will not see compacting of trash the first few times  
you load the compactor. The compactor drawer should be about  
¹⁄₂ full before the compactor can begin to compress the load.  
When the ram stops rising, you can open the drawer.  
To remove the Key-Knob  
1. Turn the Key-Knob to the LOCK/OFF position.  
2. Remove the Key-Knob and store it out of children’s reach.  
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 container only 3" to  
6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.

emptying it in the future.  
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with  
hands or feet.

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.  
Cleaning  
Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob (or Key-  
Switch) to the OFF & LOCK position and remove it.  
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.

should be performed by a designated service representative.  
5. If the drawer side was removed, slide it back into the tilted  
position.  
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces  
6. Press the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch) down while  
pushing the drawer side to the upright position.  
1. Wash exterior surfaces (including stainless steel) with a clean  
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do  
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly  
with a soft cloth.  
7. Latch the drawer side by pushing up the lever-action lock (or  
Side-Lock Latch).  
Cleaning Inside the Cabinet  
2. Wipe up spills right away. Some foods can damage the finish  
if left on the compactor surface.  
NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves since there may  
be bits of glass in the cabinet.  
Cleaning Inside the Drawer  
1. Pull the drawer out until it 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.  
NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves since there may  
be bits of glass in the drawer.  
1. Remove the bag. See the “Removing a Filled Bag.”  
2. Press down on the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock latch).  
2. Lift the front of the drawer to clear the stops.  
3. Hold the lever-action lock down and tilt the side of the drawer  
out until the lock clears the drawer front.  
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the  
way. Set the drawer down gently.  
NOTE: If desired, the drawer side can be removed by tilting it  
up, then lifting it out.

should be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum  
designed to pick up liquids.

rollers onto the tracks.  
7. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in fully past the stops.

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.  
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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.  
Trash is not compacting  
The drawer won’t open  
Is the drawer less than half-full? Drawer must be more than  
half full before trash is compacted.  
Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is  
fully raised.  
To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or Key-  
Switch): Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) to START and  
release. See “Starting Your Compactor.”  
Your compactor won’t operate  
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded  
3 prong outlet.  
To raise the ram on models with push button controls:  
Press OFF, and then press ON. See “Starting Your  
Compactor.”  
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker  
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.  
Is the Solid Cycle engaged? Drawer remains LOCKED until  
you reset by lifting the foot pedal up.  
Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly  
and start the compactor again.  
There is not enough compaction or force  
Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START? Turn the  
Key-Knob (Key-Switch) fully to START and release (on some  
models). See “Starting Your Compactor.”  
Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough?  
Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.  
Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON  
before pressing START (on some models). See “Starting the  
Compactor.”  
Bottles don’t break  
How often do you notice this? Bottles will not break every  
time. The thickness of the bottle’s glass and the content of  
the trash load below it may prevent the bottle from breaking.
