Compactor Features  
Loading Your Compactor  
Built-in Small Litter Area  
Small cans, paper scraps, small  
boxes and containers may simply be  
dropped into the door, rather than  
opening the large trash drawer. Trash  
will drop automatically into the large  
trash drawer when pulled open.  
Large Capacity Trash Drawer  
Large, bulky items should be  
placed directly into the drawer. It is not  
necessary to run a compaction cycle  
everytime you place trash into the drawer.  
However, the more often you run a cycle,  
the more compact the trash will be.  
Your compactor has a built-in interlock and will not operate unless you  
have:  
1. Closed the trash drawer.  
2. Turned the key to start.  
Break-Away Trash Basket  
Your trash compactor is equipped  
with a versatile two-piece, polypropylene  
basket. It is designed for easy use and  
removal of compacted trash. The break-  
away basket may be used with or without  
the enclosed complimentary supply of  
STOP/LOCK will stop the ram movement at any point. After stopping  
the unit, turn the key to START and ram will return to original “up”  
position.  
WARNING:  
Do not allow children to operate the compactor. We  
trash bags.  
recommend that you remove the key when not in use. The unit will not  
operate without it. The trash drawer cannot be locked. Therefore,  
before running a compactor cycle, always check to be sure that no  
item has been mistakenly placed in the trash drawer.

4. Dump compacted trash from half basket  
into waste receptacle.  
Use of Break-Away Trash Basket Without Bag  
1. Place basket release handle in upright  
position  
2. Put trash directly into the basket. We  
recommend placing several thicknesses of  
newspaper at the bottom of the basket when bags are not used.  
This will minimize clean-up of the basket after emptying compacted  
trash.  
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD  
Compacted trash may contain broken glass, metal cans and other sharp  
objects. Always use the half basket to dump trash. DO NOT USE  
BARE HANDS.  
NOTE: Compacting a folded newspaper on top of loose trash will  
keep the ram clean of trash or broken glass.  
Use of Break-Away Trash Basket With Bag  
1. Lift built-in storage compartment cover.  
To Remove Break-Away Trash Basket  
We recommend removing the basket when trash is compacted  
to four or five inches below the top of the basket. If you find this too  
heavy, compact less trash next time. REMEMBER - the weight of the  
compacted trash will vary with the contents. Cans and bottles may  
weigh more than paper products.  
2. Pull basket release handle down.  
1. Place basket release handle in down  
position. Lift built-in storage compartment  
cover up.  
3. Place folded bag inside Break-Away  
trash basket.  
2. Grasp both handles of basket and remove  
from drawer. Carry basket to trash storage  
area.  
3. Pull handles of basket away from each  
other.  
4. Open bag. Pull top edges of bag over  
top of drawer.

drawer. Carry basket with bag to  
trash storage area.  
6. Spread bag to fit interior of basket.  
Closing storage compartment cover.  
Pull basket release handle up.  
5. Pull handles of  
basket away from  
each other to loosen  
bag.  
Bag Removal  
We recommend removing bag when trash is compacted to four  
or five inches below top of basket. If you find this is too heavy,  
compact less trash next time.  
6. Lift bag out.  
1. Pull basket release handle down.  
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD  
Sharp objects may protrude through bag after removal from  
trash basket. Handle carefully by the top to avoid injury.

Compaction Cycle  
The compactor ram will move down inside the trash drawer,  
reverse, and return to original position, completing the cycle in  
approximately 35 seconds. As the basket is filled, the ram travels a  
shorter distance and cycle time decreases.  
Charcoal Air Filter with Fan  
Your trash compactor features an activated charcoal air filter  
and fan which absorbs and minimizes odor. The charcoal filter is  
located in the left rear section of the compactor.  
The degree of odor in your compactor will depend upon the  
type of trash you place in it. Since odors are absorbed into the pores  
of the charcoal filter, it may need to be replaced once or twice a year.  
Length of time before filter replacement is necessary varies with the  
types of trash compacted.  
DURING THE COMPACTION CYCLE, THE RAM DOES NOT TOUCH  
THE BOTTOM OF THE DRAWER. THEREFORE, YOU CAN EXPECT  
TO CYCLE SEVERAL LOOSE TRASH LOADS BEFORE COMPACTION  
IS EVIDENT. THIS IS NORMAL AND NOT A CAUSE FOR CONCERN.  
Charcoal Air Filter Fan  
As the ram compacts difficult to break items, you may notice a  
downward movement of the compactor drawer. This in normal and will  
not cause damage. The spring-loaded drawer is specially designed to  
move down freely and return to original position. The force of the ram  
during a compaction cycle is absorbed by the heavy gauge steel frame  
of the compactor.  
ON  
- The fan creates fast air  
movement for greater odor  
removal. While the fan is on,  
a fan “on” light will glow on  
the control panel.  
OFF  
- Even when the fan isn’t  
running, the filter is working  
to remove odor.  
To Stop Cycle and Open Drawer  
You may stop or interrupt a compaction cycle at any time and  
raise the ram to its original position.  
1. Turn the key to STOP/LOCK position to  
stop the ram.  
2. Turn the key to START position and  
HOLD momentarily to return the ram to  
original position. The drawer may then  
be opened.  
To Remove Filter:  
1. With trash drawer in open position,  
reach into left rear corner where filter is  
located.  
3. Turn key to START position and HOLD  
to start another cycle.  
2. Release filter from bottom clip, pull down.  
To Replace Filter:  
Push replacement filter into place behind top clip. Snap securely into  
bottom clip.

Special Use Tips  
Caring for Your Compactor  
-Your compactor is designed to handle most dry trash. The compactor  
is not a substitute for a food waste disposer. We urge you to continue  
to dispose of garbage through a food waste disposer. Most food  
waste will sour and become odorous when held at room temperature.  
-Liquid or messy items should be wrapped ina newspaper or several  
thicknesses of paper toweling to help keep the ram and Break-Away  
basket clean.  
COMPACTOR INTERIOR  
Built-in Small Litter Door and Area:  
Wipe clean with a cloth or sponge and a mild detergent or ammonia  
and water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Do not use abrasive or  
harsh cleaners.  
-More trash can be compacted if you stop the ram in the “down”  
position and allow it to dwell there overnight. This will result in  
heavier bags of compacted trash.  
-Place glass bottles on their side in the center for compacting rather  
than upright. Bottles and cans may nest in lightly compacted paper.  
When sufficient load is accumulated, most will be crushed. However,  
due to the resiliency of paper, some bottles may not break. Don’t be  
alarmed by the popping noise made when bottles are crushed. This is  
normal and will not damage compactor. Placing a newspaper over  
bottles before compacting will help muffle noise.  
Break-Away Trash Basket  
Clean as necessary after emptying compacted trash. Wearing rubber  
gloves and using paper towels, remove any small pieces of debris from  
basket such as crushed glass. AVOID CONTACT WITH BARE HANDS.  
Light soil may be wiped away with a damp sponge or cloth. Heavy soil  
may require use of mild detergent and water. Rinse with clear water  
and dry.  
Ram  
Clean as necessary. Wearing rubber gloves and using paper towels,  
remove any small pieces of debris from ram, such as paper or crushed  
glass. AVOID CONTACT WITH BARE HANDS. Light soil may be  
wiped clean with a cloth and mild detergent and water. Heavy soil may  
require the use of a dampened scouring pad. Rinse with clear water  
and dry.  
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND COMPACTING THESE ITEMS  
-Trimmings from cleaning fish or chicken  
-Grapefruit or cantaloupe rinds  
-Paint, oil, gasoline or turpentine cans or rags which have been used  
with these materials  
-Aerosol cans  
-Insecticide, toxic or caustic containers  
Metal Drawer Liner:  
-Wood scraps, rocks, solid metal or large quantities of newspaper.  
These items are already in their compacted form.  
Clean as necessary using a cloth or sponge and mild detergent and  
water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.  
WARNING: FIRE/HEALTH HAZARDS  
Do not compact containers of flammable or toxic materials or aerosol cans.  
Metal Drawer:  
Occasionally the drawer latch rod and slide hood located on both sides  
of the drawer opening should be lubricated. This will prevent the door  
latch from squeaking or sticking and help insure and extend the life of  
the latch mechanism. We suggest soap or a solid stick lubricant which  
can be purchased at auto supply or hardware stores.  
Vacation Care  
-If you are planning a weekend vacation, you may not want to remove  
compacted trash if basket is not full. We recommend you simply lock  
the compactor. On your return, you may wish to run the charcoal air  
filter for a short time before opening the drawer.  
-If you are planning to be away for more than a weekend, we  
recommend that you remove and discard the compacted trash,  
replace basket and lock the compactor. Before running a compaction  
Behind Metal Drawer:  
Occasionally check the area behind the trash drawer and remove any  
small pieces of trash. Placing a folded newspaper on top of trash will  
help prevent small items from sticking to the ram and falling behind the  
drawer.  
always  
cycle,  
check that no item has been mistakenly placed in the  
trash drawer.

It is assumed that your trash compactor has been properly installed in  
accordance with all specifications and local codes and that the  
appliance has been properly grounded. If your trash compactor should  
fail to operate, check the troubleshooting guide before calling your  
dealer. You could save the cost of a service call.  
Record the information indicated below. You will need it if service  
is ever required. The serial and model numbers for your oven are  
located on an identification plate mounted on the bottom left side of  
the oven door opening.  
If your trash compactor should fail to operate:  
-Have you read and followed the instructions provided with this unit?  
-Is a fuse blown or the circuit breaker open?  
-Is the trash drawer tightly closed? It is possible for a cycle to be  
incomplete when the drawer has not been firmly closed before turning  
the key to START. If this occurs, the unit will shut-off, but the drawer  
cannot be pulled open. Close the drawer firmly and turn the key to  
START. The ram will return to the original “up” position. Drawer will  
open only when ram is all the way up.
