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.

is in the ON position.
