Your compactor has been designed with

the compactor. Use a mild detergent
solution on these surfaces.

Operation
Compacting Tips (cont.)
• Place a couple of folded sheets of
newspaper, or a large paper grocery bag
on top of the load to be compacted when:
o Compacting large or several glass
bottles or jars (or any items that might
shatter). This will help prevent glass
fragments and particles from flying out
of bucket into mechanism.
o Compacting unwrapped messy food
waste. This will help keep the power
ram clean.
• Compacting extreme uneven loads may
cause the trash bucket to shift forward
which may cause the door to open and
interrupt the compaction cycle. Gently
push and hold door closed to activate the
ram until it returns to the up position.
Open the trash bucket and reposition any
objects that may be causing the uneven
load. Re-activate the compaction cycle by
pressing the “START” button and closing
the door.
• There are certain types of trash that create
exceptionally strong odors such as raw
meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, personal
hygiene items, and disposable diapers.
You may wish to not put such items into
your compactor.
• If the compactor will not be used for an
extended period of time, such as during
vacation, remove the bag to prevent a
build-up of undesirable odors.
Bag Removal
1. Slide out trash bucket.
2. Unbutton bag from bucket and close by
twisting bag top. Fasten with twist-tie
provided.
3. Lift door up and pull forward to unlatch trash
bucket.
4. Lift bag from bucket.
5. Lift door and push toward compactor. Once
door is vertical, lower it into position to latch
door.
WARNING
DO NOT compact aerosol cans or any other
containers still holding or which held toxic
chemicals, insecticides, or combustible contents.
Fumes may be rereleased that are hazardous to
health or may result in fire or explosion.
WARNING
DO NOT put paint, oily rags, lighter fluid cans,
paint thinner cans, etc., in your compactor. Doing
so could result in spontaneous combustion
causing a fire and/or explosion.
CAUTION
NEVER push trash into the bucket with hands or
feet. Trash might contain broken glass, sharp
pieces of metal, etc., which could cause injury.
