Using the Air Filter or Freshener

1. Set the Air Filter switch to ON. The fan creates air movement 

in the compactor for odor removal.

NOTE: The charcoal Air Filter works only when the Key-Knob 
is in the ON position.

IMPORTANT: The air freshener will work with or without the 
fan.

2. 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.

IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with 
hands or feet.

1. Pull the drawer completely open.

2. Remove top of bag from bag retainer buttons. Pull up all four 

bag cuffs. Close bag with twist tie provided. 

3. Push Side-Lock Latch down and tilt drawer side open.

4. Lift out bag. 

Installing a New Bag

Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed especially 
for use in your compactor. Order replacement compactor bags 
through your local dealer or by calling the toll-free number on the 
cover or in the “Assistance or Service” section.

IMPORTANT:

Before installing a new bag, be sure:

The drawer side is securely locked.

The container is clean and free of debris.

1. Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top 

edges over the drawer top. 

2. Lock bag in place by pulling the four prepunched holes over 

the bag retainer buttons. Holes will expand over the buttons 
without damaging the bag.

3. Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides and 

corners for a smooth fit.
