SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING COMPACTOR. Basic precautions should always be taken when using an electrical appliance – including the following: 1. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is operated near children. Do not allow the appliance to be used as a toy, or to run unattended at any time. Turn key to “OFF” and remove it to lock the compactor.
WHAT YOUR COMPACTOR DOES Your compactor compresses household trash up to 1/12 of its original volume. The compactor will take normal household trash including milk cartons, glass and plastic bottles, containers and jars, tin cans, wrappings, boxes, food wastes, etc. HOW YOUR COMPACTOR WORKS When you start the compactor, an electrically powered ram moves down into the compactor drawer, compresses the trash and then returns to the “UP” position and shuts off automatically.
DECORATIVE PANEL INSTALLATION A decorative panel insert can be installed in place of the colored door panel and corrugated spacer. Remove drawer assembly, foot pedal, trim strips, color panel and corrugated spacer following instructions under “Color Matching.” Panels over 1/4” thick: OPTION #1: Make sure panel fits inside the chrome door trim. Inside dimensions of chrome trim are approximately 11-5/16” x 20-1/ 2”. 1. Drill holes through the door for the screw size being used. 2. Screw the panel to door. 3.
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 container. Trash in the bottom 1/3 of the container 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.
HANDY HINTS Before you call for service, check these handy hints which may save you the cost of a service call: 1. Is electric cord plugged in securely? 2. Has a house fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped? 3. Is the drawer pushed firmly shut? 4. Is the key switch in the “ON” position? 5. Did you hold the key switch in “START” long enough to start the compaction cycle? 6. If drawer is difficult to close, check to see if any trash has fallen behind the container preventing safety switch closure.
