Trash Bag Installation - GE UCG1500 Serie Manuel D'utilisation

Getting started
What It Does and How It Works
Your compactor reduces household trash to as little as one-fourth of its original volume.
It compacts most refuse, including paper, cans, bottles, jars, plastic containers, wrappings, sweepings and some
food wastes.
Drop trash into the disposable bag (designed for compactor use) that lines the compactor trash drawer and close the
drawer. When you start the compactor, an electrically-operated ram moves down into the drawer, compacts trash,
moves back up again—and the compactor shuts off automatically.
NOTE:
Damage may occur if door is opened during cycle.
ON/OFF Knob
a safety measure. When the knob switch is in the OFF
position, the compactor will not operate.
Drawer Safety Switch
will not cycle without the drawer being fully closed.

Child Lockout Instructions:
Lock the compactor when it is not in use, by removing
compactor and prevent anyone from tampering with it.
To install a new bag:
Place the bag into the drawer. Open the bag and pull
1
the top edges over the drawer top.
2 Lock the bag in place by pulling
the four prepunched holes over
the bag retainer buttons. Holes
will expand over the buttons
without harming the bag.
Remember:
food waste, place a couple of folded sheets of
newspaper on top of the load to be compacted.
Items too bulky to go into the drawer can be folded to
fit. If it cannot be folded to fit into the drawer, do not
attempt to force it.
Folded newspaper is also helpful when compacting a
large glass bottle, or several bottles or jars, or any other
items that might shatter.
Although it is not necessary to compact until the drawer
is full or nearly full, we suggest that, for maximum
compaction, you start the compactor each time a
significant amount of trash is added.
