COMPACTOR USE
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 compacting of trash
the first few times you load the compactor.
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than 1/2full
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. The trash in a full compactor bag will
be about 1/4the size of its original bulk.
I I
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 then senses a "misload" and causes the ram
to return to the "up" position without compacting.
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with
hands or feet.
NOTE: You will not see compacting of trash the first few
times you load the compactor. The compactor drawer should
be about 1/2full before the compactor can begin to compress
the load.
Open the drawer. Lift and pull the handle or press the
foot pedal to open the drawer.
NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the container only
3" to 6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.
2. Place trash in compactor.
10

• Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.
• Do not compact items that may develop offensive
odors such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds,
disposable diapers, or personal hygiene items.
• Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.

ram stops rising, you can open the drawer.
To remove the Key-Switch
1. Turn the Key-Switch to the OFF/LOCI< position.
2. Remove and store key out of children's reach.
The compactor bag should be removed when trash is
compacted almost to the top of the drawer. If bag is too
heavy when full, remove bag when weight is easier to lift and
carry.
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with
hands or feet.
NOTE: Use paper or plastic bags made for use in a
compactor. These bags are designed to resist cuts, tears and
leaks. Compactor bags sized to fit compactor drawer make
managing compacted trash easier. Compactor bags are
available from your Sears store or service center.
To remove a filled bag

13

TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Trash is not compacting
•Is the drawer less than half-full? Drawer must be more
than half full before trash is compacted.
Your compactor won't operate
• Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a
grounded 3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If
the problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly
and start the compactor again.
Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START? Turn the
Key-Knob (Key-Switch) fully to START and release (on
some models). See "Starting the Compactor."
Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON
before pressing START (on some models). See "Starting
the Compactor."
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 the Compactor."
To raise the ram on models with push button controls:
Press OFF, and then press ON. See "Starting the
Compactor."
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 keep the bottle from
breaking.
