Getting started
Compacting
To start the compactor:
Turn the knob to ON.
1
Make sure the drawer is fully closed.
2
Lift the foot pedal up to start cycle.

The ram travels downward into the drawer, compacting
the trash. At the bottom of the stroke, the ram
automatically reverses direction, retracts out of the
drawer, returns to its starting position, and the compactor
shuts off automatically.
The cycle takes less than 30 seconds. As the trash
drawer fills with trash, cycle time gets progressively
shorter.
NOTES:
few times you load. The compactor drawer should
be about 1/2 full before the compactor can begin to
compress the load.
Glass bottles can make a loud noise when they
break during compaction. This is normal. Also,
bottles in the trash drawer will not always break during
the first cycle. Breaking glass and associated noise
may occur several cycles later, depending on the type
and volume of the trash.
When bottles and cans are compacted, small tears
in the bag may occur. This is normal and in no way
affects the performance of the compactor. Keep the
bag away from your body to prevent injury from sharp
objects that may have pierced the bag.
