Compacting Tips; Bag Removal - Electrolux E15TC75HSS Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Compacting Tips

• Although it is not necessary to compact until the drawer is full or
nearly so, it is suggested that for maximum compaction, you start
the compactor each time a significant amount of trash is added.
• At full stroke, the ram does not travel all the way to the bottom
of the trash bucket. Trash in the bottom 1/3 of the bucket will be
crushed during subsequent compacting.
• Glass bottles can make a loud noise when they break during
compaction. This is normal. Bottles do not always break during
the first cycle. Breaking glass and associated noise may occur
several cycles later depending on type and volume of trash.
• Bottles and large cans compact best when laid flat near the
center of the trash bucket.
• Place a couple of folded sheets of newspaper, or a large paper
grocery bag on top of the load to be compacted when :
• compacting large or several glass bottles or jars
(or any items that might shatter). This will help
prevent glass fragments and particles from flying
out of bucket into mechanism.
• compacting unwrapped messy food waste.
This will help keep the power ram clean.
• Compacting extreme uneven loads may cause the trash bucket to
shift forward which may cause the door to open and interrupt the
compaction cycle. Gently push and hold door closed to activate
the ram until it returns to the up position. Open the trash bucket
and reposition any objects that may be causing the uneven load.
Close the door and re-activate the compaction cycle by pressing
the start button.
• There are certain types of trash that create exceptionally strong
odors such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, personal hygiene
items, and disposable diapers. You may not wish to put such
items into your compactor.
• If the compactor will not be used for an extended period of time,
such as during vacation, remove the bag to prevent a build-up of
undesirable odor.
