Before you call
for service...
If your compactor does not
operate properly, check the
following before calling for
service -
If the compactor won’t operate:
l Is the power supply cord
securely plugged into
electrical outlet?
l Has the fuse blown or circuit
breaker tripped?
l Is the drawer completely
closed?
l Is the key-knob turned all the
way to “START” position before
it is released?
If compactor stops during
operation:
l Push drawer in firmly while
turning key-knob to start.
Repeat if necessary.
l Rearrange trash load - Do Not
load rigid items at front of
drawer.
Trash not compacted:
l Drawer must be at least l/3 full
to see compaction.
Not enough compaction or
force:
l Compacting works best when
only a few items are loaded.
Use the compacting cycle
frequently.
Bottles don’t break:
l Not all bottles will break every
time, depending upon trash
load below bottle.

l Drawer will open only when
ram is all the way up. To raise
the ram, push drawer in firmly
and turn key-knob to START.
Release key-knob. Open
drawer and lay cans and
bottles flat in center of drawer.
