Keep this book and your sales slip together for future 
reference. You must provide proof of purchase or 
installation date for in-warranty service.

Write down the following information about your compactor to
better help you obtain assistance or service if you ever need it.
You will need to know your complete model number and serial
number. You can find this information on the model and serial
number label, located on your appliance as shown in the Parts
and Features section of this book.

FULL ONE-YEAR WARRANTY

For one (1) year from the date of original retail purchase, any part which fails in normal home use will be repaired or
replaced free of charge.

LIMITED TWO-YEAR WARRANTY

From the second year through the end of the third year following the date of original retail purchase, parts which fail
in normal home use will be repaired or replaced free or charge for the part itself, with the owner paying all other
costs, including labor, mileage and transportation.

PLEASE NOTE:

These full warranties apply only when the compactor is located in the United States or Canada.

Compactors located elsewhere are covered by the limited warranty only, including limited warranties for parts which
fail during the first year.

CANADIAN RESIDENTS

These warranties cover only those compactors installed in Canada that have been listed with Canadian Standards
Association unless the compactors are brought into Canada due to transfer of residence from the United States to
Canada.

The specific warranties expressed above are the ONLY warranties provided by the manufacturer. These 
warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

What is Not Covered by These Warranties:

1. Conditions and damages resulting from any of the

following:

a. Improper installation, delivery or 

maintenance.

b. Any repair, modification, alteration or 

adjustment not authorized by the 
manufacturer or an authorized servicer.

c. Misuse, abuse, accidents or unreasonable

use.

d. Incorrect electric current, voltage or supply.
e. Improper setting of any control.

2. Warranties are void if the original serial numbers

have been removed, altered or cannot be readily
determined.

3. Products purchased for commercial or industrial

use.

4. The cost of service or service call to:

a. Correct installation errors.
b. Instruct the user on proper use of the 

product.

c. Transport the appliance to the servicer.

5. Consequential or incidental damages sustained

by any person as a result of any breach of these
warranties.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limita-
tion of consequential or incidental damages, so
the above exclusion may not apply.

User’s guides, service manuals and parts catalogs are available from Maytag Appliances Sales Company, Maytag
