CHANGING YOUR COMPACTOR'S COLOR • IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE
We suggest you follow these
steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any
kind.
If your compactor won’t operate:
• Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with
the proper voltage?
• Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
• Is the drawer completely closed?
• Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START
before it is released (800 model series)?
• Is the Key-Switch turned to ON (900 model
series)?
• Did you press the ON button before pressing
the START button (900 model series)?
Drawer won’t open:
• Drawer will open only when ram is all the way up.
• To raise the ram, turn the Key-Knob to START
and release (800 model series).
• To raise the ram, press the OFF button, then
press the ON button (900 model series).
If trash is not compacting:
• Is the drawer loaded properly? If anything gets
between the ram and the drawer, the ram will
return to the “up” position, without compacting.
• Drawer must be at least
1
/3 full before compactor
will compact.
Not enough compaction or force:
• Compacting works best when only a few items
are loaded. Use the compacting cycle frequently.
Bottles don’t break:
• Not all bottles will break every time, depending
on the bottle and the trash load below it.
