Safety Instructions About the trash compactor.
What It Does and How It Works Your compactor reduces household trash to as little as 1/4 of its original volume. It compacts most refuse, including paper, cans, bottles, jars, plastic containers, wrappings, sweepings and some food wastes. Drop trash into a disposable bag that lines the 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.
Safety Instructions Loading Lift the trash drawer handle or press the touch-toe bar and pull the drawer out. Remember: ■ Bottles and large cans compact best when laid flat near the center of the drawer. ■ 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. ■ Items too bulky to go into the drawer can be folded to fit.
Removing a Full Trash Bag Pull the drawer completely open. Remove the top of the bag from the bag retainer buttons. Pull up all four bag cuffs. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions About using the trash compactor. Push the side-lock latch down and tilt the drawer side open. Lift the bag out.

Before cleaning the compactor, turn the key-knob to the OFF position and remove. If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the compactor bag. Lock the compactor and remove the key-knob and store it in a safe place. The outside and inside of your compactor are finished with durable baked-on enamel.
