ent as the ram does not travel all

tainer. Trash in the bottom 1/3 of the

placed near the outer edge of the
container may become wrapped
around the edge of the ram. This
could interfere with the opening of
the door. To correct, simple grasp

10. Grease from mechanism may drop
into the drawer or be found on the
