How Your Compactor Works
The compacting ram does not go to the drawer
bottom. You will not see compacting of the first few
loadings.
Compaction starts after the drawer is about
1
⁄3 full. You may hear a noise when glass breaks.
Strong glass bottles may not break at all.
The trash in a full compactor bag will be about
1
⁄4
the size of its original bulk.
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center
of the drawer. Bottles or cans not placed in the
center may become caught between the ram and
the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch senses a
“misload” and causes the ram to return to the “up”
position without compacting.
