GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This

In
the
event
of
a
malfunction
or
break
down,
grounding
will
reduce
the

of
least
resistance
for
electric
current.
This
appliance
is
equipped
with
a

conductor
can
result
in
a
risk
of
electric
shock.
Check
with
a
qualified
electrician
or
serviceman
if
you
are
in
doubt
as
to
whether
the

is
properly
grounded.
Do
not
modify
the

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.
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.
Then
turn
the
key
to
START
position
and
HOLD
MOMENTARILY
to
return
the
ram
to
original
position.
The
drawer
may
then
be
opened.

Turn

and
HOLD

to

CHARCOAL
AIR
FILTER
WITH
FAN
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
rear
section
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
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

SPECIAL
USE
TIPS
WHAT
CAN
YOU
PUT
IN
YOUR
COMPACTOR?
¢
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
compacted
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
hetp
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.
WE
DO
NOT
RECOMMEND

ITEMS:
