SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 Compactor Features Loading Your Compactor Large Capacity Trash Drawer Items should be placed directly into the drawer. It is not necessary to run a compaction cycle everytime you place trash into the drawer. However, the more often you run a cycle, the more compact the trash will be. Charcoal Air Filter with Fan Control Panel Break-Away Trash Basket Built-in Storage Compartment Basket Release Handle Trash Drawer Break-Away Trash Basket Your trash compactor is equipped with a versatile twopiece, polypropylene basket. It is designed for easy use and removal of compacted trash. The breakaway basket may be used with or without the enclosed complimentary supply of trash bags. Your compactor has a built-in interlock and will not operate unless you have: 1. Closed the trash drawer. 2. Turned the key/knob to start. OFF will stop the ram movement at any point. After stopping the unit, turn the key to START and ram will return to original "up" position. WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Compacted trash may contain broken glass, metal cans and other sharp objects. Always use the half basket to dump trash. DO NOT USE BARE HANDS. WARNING: Do not allow children to operate the compactor. We recommend that you remove the key/knob when not in use. The unit will not operate without it. Before running a compactor cycle, always check to be sure that no item has been mistakenly placed in the trash drawer. 4 5 Use of Break-Away Trash Basket Without Bag 1. Place basket release handle in upright position. (See Illustration) 2. Put trash directly into the basket. We recommend placing several thicknesses of newspaper at the bottom of the basket when bags are not used. This will minimize clean-up of the basket after emptying compacted trash. NOTE: Compacting a folded newspaper on top of loose trash will keep the ram clean of trash or broken glass. To Remove Break-Away Trash Basket We recommend removing the basket when trash is compacted to four or five inches below the top of the basket. If you find this too heavy, compact less trash next time. REMEMBER - the weight of the compacted trash will vary with the contents. Cans and bottles may weigh more than paper products. 1. Place basket release handle in down position. Lift built-in storage compartment cover up. (See Illustration) 2. Grasp both handles of basket and remove from drawer by pulling basket straight up. Carry basket to trash storage area. 3. Carefully pull handles of basket away from each other leaving compacted trash in one half of the basket. 4. Dump compacted trash from half basket into waste receptacle. Use of Break-Away Trash Basket With Bag 1. Lift built-in storage compartment cover. Place basket release handle in down position. (See illustration) 2. Place folded trash bag inside Break-Away trash basket. 3. Open bag. Pull top edges of bag over top of drawer. 4. Lock bag in place by pulling the four pre-punched holes in the trash bag over buttons on drawer sides. Holes will expand over buttons without damaging bag. 5. Spread bag to fit interior of basket. Close built-in storage compartment cover. Pull basket release handle to up position. (See illustration) 6 7 Bag Removal We recommend removing bag when trash is compacted to four or five inches below top of basket. If you find this is too heavy, compact less trash next time. 1. Pull basket release handle down. Lift storage compartment cover up. Release bag from buttons. Pull up top edges of bag. 2. Close bag with twisties provided.
