Features of Your Compactor
What It Does
Your compactor reduces household trash to as little as
25% of its original volume.
It compacts most refuse, including paper, cans,
bottles, jars, plastic containers, wrappings, sweepings
and some food wastes.
How it Works
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.
NOTE: The trash drawer must be 1/2 full before you
will notice compaction because the ram travels only
about 2/3 of the way down into the drawer.
Key Lock Switch
A key lock switch is provided for your protection as a safety measure.
When the key lock switch is in the OFF position, the compactor will not
operate. Lock the compactor when it is not in use, and remove the key for
safekeeping to keep children from operating the compactor or to prevent
anyone from tampering with it.
Odor Control Panel
A panel behind the drawer front is designed to hold an adhesive backed
freshener, such as a Stick-Up brand Air Freshener package. Simply open the
drawer and fasten the opened air freshener package on the panel. Replace
the air freshener as needed.
Adjustable Base
The base of this compactor can be adjusted forward or backward to achieve
a toekick to match the cabinet (see Installation Instructions).
