Special Use Tips
-Your compactor is designed to handle most dry trash. The compactor is
not a substitute for a food waste disposer. We urge you to continue to
dispose of garbage through a food waste disposer. Most food waste will
sour and become odorous when held at room temperature.
-Liquid or messy items should be wrapped ina newspaper or several
thicknesses of paper toweling to help keep the ram and Break-Away
basket clean.
-More trash can be compacted if you stop the ram in the “down”
position and allow it to dwell there overnight. This will result in heavier
bags of compacted trash.
-Place glass bottles on their side in the center for compacting rather than
upright. Bottles and cans may nest in lightly compacted paper. When
sufficient load is accumulated, most will be crushed. However, due to
the resiliency of paper, some bottles may not break. Don’t be alarmed
by the popping noise made when bottles are crushed. This is normal
and will not damage compactor. Placing a newspaper over bottles
before compacting will help muffle noise.

Vacation Care
-If you are planning a weekend vacation, you may not want to remove
compacted trash if basket is not full. We recommend you simply lock the
compactor. On your return, you may wish to run the charcoal air filter for
a short time before opening the drawer.
-If you are planning to be away for more than a weekend, we recommend
that you remove and discard the compacted trash, replace basket and
lock the compactor. Before running a compaction cycle,
aallwwaayyss
check
that no item has been mistakenly placed in the trash drawer.

Occasionally the drawer latch rod and slide hood located on both sides
of the drawer opening should be lubricated. This will prevent the door
latch from squeaking or sticking and help insure and extend the life of
the latch mechanism. We suggest soap or a solid stick lubricant which
can be purchased at auto supply or hardware stores.
BBeehhiinndd MMeettaall DDrraawweerr::
Occasionally check the area behind the trash drawer and remove any
small pieces of trash. Placing a folded newspaper on top of trash will
help prevent small items from sticking to the ram and falling behind the
drawer.
