The drawer won’t open
■
Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is
fully raised.
To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or Key-
Switch): Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) to START and
release. See “Starting Your Compactor.”
To raise the ram on models with push button controls:
Press OFF, and then press ON. See “Starting Your
Compactor.”
■
Is the Solid Cycle engaged? Drawer remains LOCKED until
you reset by lifting the foot pedal up.
There is not enough compaction or force
■
Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough?
Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.
Bottles don’t break
■
How often do you notice this? Bottles will not break every
time. The thickness of the bottle’s glass and the content of
the trash load below it may prevent the bottle from breaking.
