Electrical
Requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Recommended Grounding Method
This compactor is for use on a single phase, 115-volt, 60
Hz, AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused and properly ground-
ed circuit and is equipped with a grounding plug as shown
below. Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommend-
ed. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this appliance be provided. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Do
not modify the plug attached to the compactor; use only
with a grounded receptacle.
Q
How Your Compactor
Works
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which
compresses the trash. The compacting ram does not go
to the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compact-
ing of trash the first few times you load the compactor.
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be about 1/3 full
before the compactor can begin to compress the load.
You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass
bottles may not break at all.
I
|F!
The trash in a full compactor bag will be about _ the size
of its original bulk.
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the
drawer. Bottles or cans not placed in the center may
become caught between the ram and the drawer. The
Drawer Monitor switch senses a "misload" and causes the
ram to return to the "up" position without compacting.
This compactor must be grounded while in use to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The compactor is equipped with
a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding-type
plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The green
(or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the ground-
ing wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow)
wire to a live terminal. The outlet should be properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. No
adapter should be used with this appliance.

possibly save the cost of a service call.
Your compactor won't operate.
•Is the power supply cord unplugged?
Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with the proper volt-
age.
•Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
•Is the drawer completely closed?
Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor again.
• Is the Control Knob turned all the way to START?
Turn Control Knob fully to START and release.
•Did you press ON before pressing START?
Press ON button before pressing START button.
Trash is not compacting.
•Is the drawer less than 1/3 full?
Drawer must be at least 1/3 full before compactor
will compact.
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:
Turn the Control Knob to OFF & LOCK. Once the
compactor stops, turn the Control Knob to RUN. At
this time the ram will return to the raised position.
You can then open the drawer.
Drawer won't close.
•Has trash or other objects fallen behind
the door?
Check behind drawer; remove any foreign objects.
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?

Recycling With
Your Compactor
& & &
PETE HDPE V
& & &
LDPE PP PS
These codes indicate which type of plastic was
used in manufacturing the container. Your recycling
program will confirm which codes are accepted for
recycling.
OTHER
Plastics with this symbol cannot be
recycled.
Items with this symbol can be recycled or
were made from recycled materials.
A compactor makes recycling and landfill reduction
efforts more effective and efficient.
Here's how:
Recycling Guidelines
Contact your community recycling program or local recy-
cling organizations to find out which items are accepted
for recycling and how they should be prepared and orga-
nized. These programs will provide essential recycling
guidelines:
• Method and frequency of collection---curbside collec-
tions and drop-off centers.
•Categories of recyclable items, and how to distin-
guish between them. Plastic containers are identified
by codes on the bottom. Sort by the numbers inside the
triangular arrows. For example, most plastic soda bot-
tles and some cleaning bottles have code 1; most milk
and water jugs, laundry and personal hygiene product
containers have code 2. Paper and cardboard contain-
ers (paperboard) also have recycle symbols to indicate
a container is recyclable.
•Preparation of recyclable items.
Most recycling programs provide specific guidelines on
preparation. For example, aluminum cans and plastic
containers need to be rinsed out, lids removed, but
often labels can be left on.
Organizing the Recycling Workspace
Convenient recycle bins are made to fit in the compactor
drawer. These bins, as well as plastic compactor bags,
can be purchased in a variety of colors at hardware
stores and supermarkets.
Set up a system of color-coded bags in an area chosen
for processing recyctables. Each color can represent a
category of recyctable items, based on types specified by
your recycling program.
Separate recyclable items from nonrecyctable items:
•Recyclable items can be sorted using the color-coded
bags. Prepare items according to guidelines provided
by your recycling program.
• Nonrecyclable items should be compacted because
compaction reduces trash volume to its original size:
four bags of trash can be compacted into one bag.
This contributes to reducing landfill volume and related
waste transportation burdens.
REMEMBER: Do not expect items which contain
minimal air, such as folded newspapers, to compact
significantly.
Compacting Recyclable Items
Most recycling programs want the consumer to crush or
flatten recyclable items such as plastics, cans, and
paperboard. Compacting recyclable items consolidates
volume and thereby reduces transportation costs--and
also helps manage recycling workspace more effectively.
The compactor is ideal for such a task.
When a plastic bag is full enough to require compacting,
place the bag in the drawer as shown in "Installing a New
Bag". Then follow instructionsin "Using Your Compactor".
When the compacting cycle iscomplete, remove the plastic
bag as shown in "Removing a Filled Bag" and return it to
storage until it isfull enough to recycle.
Remember, compacting both recyclables
and nonrecyclables means less solid wastes
and waste transportation costs--and a
better environment for all.
Reduce - Reuse - Recycle
IMPORTANT: Some items, such as glass, should not be
compacted. Most recycling programs will not accept
crushed glass. Check with your recycling program for
specific guidelines on preparing recyctables.
