You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles  
may not break at all. The trash in a full compactor bag will be  
about ¹⁄₄ the size of its original bulk.

diapers, or personal hygiene items.  
Using Solid (Locked) Cycle  
The Solid (Locked) cycle extends the use of a bag by putting  
constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back.  
Regular use of the Solid (Locked) cycle can increase bag  
capacity up to 25 percent.  
Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the  
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.  
During the Solid (Locked) cycle, the ram will stay in the down  
position for extra compacting. While the Solid (Locked) cycle is  
operating, an indicator shows on the control panel. The drawer is  
locked and cannot be opened when the ram is down. For best  
results, use the Solid (Locked) cycle for at least 30 minutes at a  
time.

Using the Air Filter or Freshener  
Installing a New Bag

The degree of odor in the compactor depends on the type of  
trash placed in it. The length of time before the filter needs to be  
replaced varies with the type of trash compacted. Under normal  
use the filter should be replaced once or twice per year.  
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 Servicesection.

rollers onto the tracks.  
1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.  
7. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in fully past the stops.

cleaning.  
Cleaning the Ram  
NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves since there may  
be bits of glass on the ram cover.  
1. Wipe glass particles off of the ram cover with a cloth or paper  
towels.  
2. Remove foods with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild  
detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft  
cloth.  
2. Lift the front of the drawer to clear the stops.  
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the  
way. Set the drawer down gently.  
Cleaning Before a Vacation  
4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash  
should be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum  
designed to pick up liquids.  
If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the  
compactor bag. Remove the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) and store  
it out of childrens reach.
