■
Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors
such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable

Starting Your Compactor

3. Set Compress Cycle switch to OFF.
4. Close drawer.
5. Press the foot-actuated START
button in with your toe to start the
compacting cycle.

completed, open the drawer and turn
the Key-Knob to OFF. Remove the Key-

Using Compress (Locked) Cycle
The Compress (Locked) Cycle extends the use of the bag by
putting constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing
back. Regular use of a compress cycle can increase bag capacity
up to 25 percent.
During Compress Cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for
extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened
when the ram is down.
For best results, use the Compress Cycle for at least 30 minutes
at a time.
1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the
compactor drawer.
2. Set compactor Compress Cycle switch to ON.
3. Close drawer.
4. Press the foot-actuated START button in with your toe to start
the compacting cycle.
NOTE: During the compacting cycle, the drawer remains locked
until you press the foot-actuated START button to raise the ram.
Using the Air Filter
1. Set the Air Filter switch to ON. The fan creates air movement
in the compactor for odor removal.
NOTE: The Air Filter only works when the Key-Knob is in the
ON position.
2. If you hear noise while the compactor is not in use, it might be
the fan has been left on.
3. Set the Air Filter switch to OFF to turn off the fan.
Removing a Filled Bag
When the trash is compacted to the top of the drawer, remove
the bag. If the bag is too heavy, compact less trash before
emptying it in the future.
1. Pull the drawer completely open.
2. Remove top of bag from bag retainer buttons. Pull up all four
bag cuffs. Close bag with a twist tie.
3. Release drawer side latch. Tilt drawer to the right. This
releases pressure on the bag making it easier to remove
the bag.
4. Lift out bag.
