Electrical
Shock
Hazard
Improper
connection
of
the
polarized
3-prong

can
result
in
a
risk
of
electric
shock.
Check
with
a
qualified
electrician
or
service
person
if
you
are
in
doubt
as
to
whether
the
outlet
is
properly
grounded.
Do
not
modify
the
plug
provided
with
the

If
it
will
not

For

the

In
the
event
of

reduces
the

This

Operating
Your
Irash
To
Start:
The
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.
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.
As
the
ram
compacts
difficult
to
break
items,
you
may
notice
a
downward
movement
of
the
Compactor
drawer.
This
is
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
Rigidized
Steel
Frame
of
the
Compactor.

Charcoal
Air
Filter
With

Your
KitchenAid
Trash
Compactor
features
an
Activated
Charcoal
Air
Filter
and
Fan
which
absorbs
and
minimizes
odor.
The
Charcoal
Filter
is
located
in
the
left

of
the
Compactor.
The
degree
of
odor
in
your
Compactor
will
depend
upon
the
type
trash
you
place
in
it.
Since
odors
are
absorbed
into
the

of
the

it
may

Special
Use
Tips
•
Your
KitchenAid
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
KitchenAid
Food
Waste
Disposer.
Most
food
waste
will
sour
and
become
odorous
when
held
at
room
temperature.
•
Liquid
or
messy
items
should
be
wrapped
in
a
newspaper
or
several
thicknesses
of
paper
toweling
to
help
keep
the
Ram
and
Tilt-Away
Trash
Basket
clean.
•
Place
glass
bottles
on
their
sides
in
the
center
for
compacting
rather
than
upright.
Bottles
and
cans
may
nest
in
lightly
com¬
pacted
paper.
When
a
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
the
Compactor.
Placing
a
newspaper
over
bottles
before
compacting
will
help
muffle
noise.
•
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.
Do
Not
Compact
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
•
Aerosolcans
•
Insecticide,
toxic
or
caustic
chemical
containers
•
Wood
scraps,
rocks,
solid
metal
or
large
quantities
of
newspaper.
These
items
are
already
in
their
compact
form.
Fire/Health
Hazards
Do
not
compact
containers
of
flam¬
mable
or
toxic
materials
or
aerosol
cans.
Vacation
Care
•
If
you
are
planning
a
weekend
vacation,
you
may
not
want
to
remove
compacted
trash
if
basket
is
only
partially
full.
We
recommend
you
simply
lock
the
Compactor.
On
your
return,
you
may
wish
to
run
the
Charcoal
Air
Filter
Fan
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
cycle,
ALWAYS
check
that
no
item
has
been
mistakenly
placed
in
the
Trash
Drawer.

toweling,
remove
any
small
pieces

AVOID
CONTACT
WITH
BARE
HANDS.
Light
soil
may
be
wiped
clean
with
a
cloth
and
mild
detergent
and
water.
Heavy

require
the
use
of
a
dampened

Metal
Drawer
Liner:
Clean
as
necessary
using
a
cloth
or
sponge
and
a
mild
detergent
and
water.
Rinse

Do

Metal
Drawer:
Occasionally,
the
drawer
latch
rod
(A),
and
slide
hook
(Bj
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.
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.
Note:
Drawer
may
be
removed
to
facilitate
cleaning
surrounding
areas.
1.
Disconnect

Top:
The

prefinished
with
a
protective
lacquer
seal.
For

powder
for
three
to
five
hours.
Then
wipe

After
an
extended
period
of

it
may
be
necessary
to
recondition
the
top
by
lightly
sanding
off
all
remaining
lacquer
and
applying
mineral
oil
to
the
cutting
board.
Saturate
a

six
to
eight
