COMPACTOR USE
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 compacting of trash the 
first few times you load the compactor.
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than 
¹⁄₂ 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. The trash in a full compactor bag will be 
about 
¹⁄₄ 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 
then senses a “misload” and causes the ram to return to the “up” 
position without compacting.
Loading
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
 
¹⁄₂ full before the compactor can begin to compress the load.
1. 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.
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.
3. Close the drawer.
The WHISPER QUIET
 System helps to maintain a quiet home 
environment during compactor operation.
NOTE: The contents of the trash may effect the noise level of 
your compactor. See “Compactor Use.” 
Starting Your Compactor
1. Press NORMAL (UNLOCKED) on the Compact Control. Turn 
the Key-Knob to START, and then release it.
2. The compactor stops after completing the cycle.
NOTE: When the compacting cycle is done, turn the Key-Knob to 
OFF. Remove the Key-Knob and store it out of children’s reach.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
