Recommended Grounding Method  
This compactor is for use on a single phase, 115-volt, 60 Hz, AC  
only 15 or 20 ampere fused and properly grounded circuit and is  
equipped with a grounding plug as shown below. Time delay fuse  
or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a  
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. In the  
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of  
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric  
current. Do not modify the plug attached to the compactor; use  
only with a grounded receptacle.  
1. Grounded electrical outlet must be a minimum of 3 in. (7.6 cm)  
away from surrounding cabinets or nearby walls as shown. It can  
be placed either to the left or the right side of the product.  
Clearance dimensions  
This compactor must be grounded while in use to reduce the risk  
of electric shock. The compactor is equipped with a three-  
conductor cord and three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the  
proper grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green and  
yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never  
connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.  
The outlet should be properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with the National Electrical Code and Local codes  
and ordinances. No adapter should be used with this appliance.  
1. Leave 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance space to the right side of  
the compactor in order to remove the compactor bags.  
2. Leave 23 in. (58.4 cm) of clearance in front of the compactor  
in order to fully open or remove the compactor drawer.

COMPACTOR USE  
WARNING  
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.  
Explosion Hazard  
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.  
Do not compact any container, aerosol cans, or  
cloths which might contain insecticide, hair spray,  
engine starting fluid, paints, liquids, thinners, or  
any other poisonous or explosive products.  
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.  
WARNING  
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 misloadand causes the ram to return to the up”  
position without compacting.  
Cut Hazard  
Do not push items down into compactor with  
hands or feet.  
Doing so can result in cuts.  
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 toe bar  
to open the drawer.  
NOTE: Pressing the toe bar opens the container only 3 in. to  
6 in. (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.  
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.  
9
 
Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the  
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.  
2. To stop the compactor during a cycle:  
Press OFF.  
Press ON. The compacting ram will rise. When the ram  
stops rising, you can open the drawer.  
To remove the Key-Switch:  
1. Turn the Key-Switch to the OFF/LOCK position.  
2. Remove and store key out of childrens reach.  
3. Close the drawer.

COMPACTOR CARE  
bits of glass in the cabinet.  
1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.  
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 maintain your compactor properly.  
This section will tell you how to clean and care for your  
compactor.  
NOTE: Look to see how the drawer rollers move in the tracks.  
It will be easier to replace the drawer when you are finished  
cleaning.  
Cleaning  
Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob (or Key-  
Switch) 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.  
2. Lift the front of the drawer to clear the stops.  
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.  
11  
 
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the  
way. Set the drawer down gently.  
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.  
4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash  
should be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum  
designed to pick up liquids.  
Your compactor won’t operate  
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded  
3 prong outlet.  
Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace  
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.  
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 the Starting the Compactorsection.  
5. Wash the inside of the cabinet with a clean sponge or soft  
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry  
thoroughly with a soft cloth.  
Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON  
before pressing START (on some models). See the Starting  
the Compactorsection.  
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.  
The drawer won’t open  
Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is  
Cleaning the Ram  
fully raised.  
NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves as there may be  
bits of glass on the ram cover.  
To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or Key-  
Switch): Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) to START and  
release. See the Starting the Compactorsection.  
1. Wipe glass particles off of the ram cover with a cloth or paper  
towels.  
To raise the ram on models with push button controls:  
Press OFF, and then press ON. See the Starting the  
Compactorsection.  
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.  
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 bottles glass and the content of  
the trash load below it may prevent the bottle from breaking.  
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 childrens reach.
