3)
Make sure the shredder head is correctly seated onto the included
wastebasket, with all the words and icons facing towards you. The head
unit is particularly designed to work only with the integrated wastebasket.
Aurora shredders are equipped with a safety interlocking mechanism,
which prevents the shredder from working when the head unit is lifted, re

feature will be activated and the shredder will be inoperable. The “SHREDDER STATUS” indication line
must align with the “READY” setting.

If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may cause the shredder not to
operate properly.

The activation sensor of the shredder is located near the center of the feed slot. Be sure to feed
directly into the center area to activate the machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper
or credit cards).
The shredder runs in “Rev (Reverse)” mode but not in “Auto (On)” mode.
While in “Auto” mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the feed slot. Set
