How Your Compactor Works
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which compresses the trash.
IMPORTANT: The compacting ram stops 7" (18 cm) from the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash until the drawer is more than 1/2 full.
You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may not break. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about 1/4 the size of its original bulk.

The Compress (locked) cycle extends the use of the bag by putting constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back. Regular use of a compress cycle can increase bag capacity up to 25 percent.
During the Compress cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened when the ram is down.
IMPORTANT: During the Compress cycle, the drawer remains locked until you press the foot-actuated Start button to raise the ram.
For best results, use the Compress cycle for at least 30 minutes at a time.
- Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the compactor drawer.
- Set compactor Compress cycle switch to ON.

Removing a Filled Bag
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Two people may be required to remove and transport compacted bag.
Unlock latch to assist in the removal of the bag.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When the trash is compacted to the top of the drawer, remove the bag. If the bag is too heavy, compact less trash before emptying it in the future.
WARNING

Cut Hazard
Do not push items down into compactor with hands or feet.
Doing so can result in cuts.
- Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the drawer.
- Remove top of bag from bag retainer buttons. Pull up all four bag cuffs. Close bag with a twist tie.

Installing a New Bag
Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed specifically 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.

■ The drawer latch is securely locked.

natural_image
Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust or install a mechanical component (no text or symbols visible)■ The drawer is clean and free of debris.
NOTE: An unlatched drawer can cause the drawer monitor switch to stay open. This will make the ram return and the compactor will continue to run. Attempt to push the drawer inwards to stop the compactor. The continuous running of the compactor can also be attributed to debris in the drawer area. If it is difficult to open or close the drawer this may be due to either the drawer latch not being locked or debris in the drawer area.
- Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top edges over the drawer top.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
| PROBLEM SOLUTION | |
| COMPACTOR WILL NOT OPERATE | Check that the power supply cord is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.Check the type of wall plug the compactor is plugged into. It is possible the compactor power cord is plugged into an outlet controlled by a wall switch. This can occur when the wall switch was meant for a garbage disposal outlet.A household fuse may have blown, or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.Make sure the drawer is completely closed. Open the drawer to ensure the latch is locked.Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor.Check that the Key-knob is set to ON. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section.Press the foot-actuated start button. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section. |
| TRASH IS NOT COMPACTING | Drawer must be more than half full before trash is compacted. The ram stops 7" (17.8 cm) from the bottom of the drawer. |
| DRAWER WILL NOT OPEN | The Compress Cycle may be engaged. The drawer will remain locked until you reset by pressing the foot-actuated Start button. Turn the compress Cycle off by pushing the Compress switch to OFF.Push on the drawer front in an attempt to raise the ram. Be sure the latch is locked.Press the foot-actuated Start button. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section. |
| THERE IS NOT ENOUGH COMPACTION OR FORCE | Compacting works best when the Compress cycle is used. Keep trash compressed for a minimum of 30 minutes. |
| BOTTLES DO NOT BREAK | Factors that affect bottle breakage: 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. |
| COMPACTOR WILL NOT TURN OFF | Push on the drawer front to attempt to engage the drawer monitor switch. Open drawer and be sure the latch is locked.The foot actuated Start switch may not be engaged or the lever that pushes the Start switch in may be bent. Push on the lever to stop the compactor. If needed, bend the lever back into position.Debris in the drawer area will cause the door to disengage from the drawer monitor switch causing the compactor to keep running. This can also keep the compactor from starting. |
| DRAWER IS HITTING THE CABINET | The cabinet opening should be 15^1/4 (38.7 cm) minimum with at least an 1/8 (3.2 mm) clearance on either side.Make sure the compactor is centered in the cabinet opening.Make sure the latch is locked. An unlatched drawer will cause the front door to be wobbly and offset from center.Check for debris on the drawer tracks or under the drawer. Debris may cause the drawer to lean to one side or not sit properly on the tracks.The compactor may be set too high or not level. The compactor can be raised or lowered with front leveling.Ensure the drawer is located on the tracks. If it is not, remove the drawer and reinstall. |
| COMPACTOR MOVING DURING OPERATION | Check that the retaining brackets are installed to the cabinet. See the “Countertop Mounting” or “Cabinet-front Mounting” sections. |
| DRAWER IS WOBBLY OR LOOSE | NOTE: By design, it is normal for the drawer to move slightly side to side.An unlatched door will wobble more than normal. Check that the door latch is in the locked position.The screws on the drawer front (door) may be loose. With a Phillips screwdriver, check to ensure the screws holding the door to the drawer are secure. |
| COMPACTOR IS NOISY | The noise could be normal operation: The compactor is driven by a steel chain and steel sprockets.The fan will make a humming noise when on. Set the air filter switch to OFF to turn the fan off. |
