7. COMPACTING TIPS

• Although it is not necessary to compact until the drawer is full or

nearly so, it is suggested that for maximum compaction, you start the

compactor each time a signiﬁcant amount of trash is added.

• At full stroke, the ram does not travel all the way to the bottom of the

trash bucket. Trash in the bottom 1/3 of the bucket will be crushed

during subsequent compacting.

• Glass bottles can make a loud noise when they break during

compaction. This is normal. Bottles do not always break during the ﬁrst

cycle. Breaking glass and associated noise may occur several cycles

later depending on type and volume of trash.

• Bottles and large cans compact best when laid ﬂat near the center of

the trash bucket.

• Place a couple of folded sheets of newspaper, or a large paper grocery

bag on top of the load to be compacted when :

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.

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. Close the door and re-

activate the compaction cycle by pressing the start button.

• 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 not wish to 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

odor.

CAUTION: DO NOT COMPACT AEROSOL CANS OR ANY OTHER

CONTAINERS STILL HOLDING OR WHICH HELD TOXIC CHEMICALS,

INSECTICIDES, OR COMBUSTIBLE CONTENTS. FUMES MAY BE

RELEASED THAT ARE HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH OR MAY RESULT IN

FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

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.

NEVER PUSH TRASH INTO THE BUCKET WITH HANDS OR FEET.

Trash might contain broken glass, sharp pieces of metal, etc.,

which could cause injury.
