COMPACTOR USE
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.
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.
Loading
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with
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.
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.
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.
7
2. Place trash in compactor.
■ 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.
■
Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.
■
Press START. The compactor will automatically stop at
the end of the cycle.
2. To stop the compactor during a cycle:
■ Press OFF.
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.
■
Press ON. The compacting ram will rise. When the ram
stops rising, you can open the drawer.
To Remove the Key-Switch

cover or in the “Assistance or Service” section.
IMPORTANT:
Before installing a new bag, be sure:
■ The drawer side is securely locked.
■

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 KeySwitch) 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.
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.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
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.
2. Wipe up spills right away. Some foods can damage the finish
if left on the compactor surface.
Cleaning Inside the Drawer

glass in the drawer.
1. Remove the bag. See “Removing a Filled Bag.”
2. Press down on the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock latch).

position.
6. Press the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch) down while
pushing the drawer side to the upright position.

Side-Lock Latch).
Cleaning Inside the Cabinet
NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of
glass in the cabinet.
1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.
9
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.

cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
6. To replace the drawer, grasp it by the sides and insert the
rollers onto the tracks.
7. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in fully past the stops.
Cleaning the Ram
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.
NOTE: You may want to wear 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.
4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash
should be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum cleaner
designed to pick up liquids.
Cleaning Before a Vacation
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
Is the drawer less than half-full? Drawer must be more than
half full before trash is compacted.
■
The drawer won’t open
■
To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or KeySwitch): Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) to START and
release. See “Starting the Compactor.”
Your compactor won’t operate
■
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
■
Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly
and start the compactor again.
■
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 the Compactor.”
■
Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON
before pressing START (on some models). See “Starting the
Compactor.”
10
Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is
fully raised.
To raise the ram on models with push button controls:
Press OFF, and then press ON. See “Starting the Compactor.”
■
Is the Solid Cycle engaged? Drawer remains LOCKED until
you reset by lifting the foot pedal up.
There is not enough compaction or force
■
Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough?
Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.
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 keep the bottle from breaking.
