BEFORE SERVICING.
The service information is intended for use by a service techni-

cian who is familiar with proper and safe procedures to be fol-

lowed when repairing electrical appliances and who is equipped

with proper tools and testing devices. Repairs attempted or made

improperly can result in personal injury or property damage.

Hazards may develop from improper assembly or adjustments.

While making repairs, persons not having the proper background

may subject themselves to the risk of injury or electrical shock

which can be serious or even fatal.
IMPORTANT - NOTE TO THE CONSUMER
If you perform service on your own Broan products, you must

assume responsibility for personal injury or property damage

which may result.

The specification label with model and serial numbers is locat-

ed on the inside of the cabinet. It is visible after opening the

drawer.

When transporting compactor, the ram should be electrically or

manually extended down into the drawer, preferably against a

load of stacked newspapers or other suitable material. If this is

not done, damage to the trunnion nut may occur.
Never transport compactor on its back or front. Damage to the

gearbox may occur. If it cannot be transported upright, it is

preferable to place it on its side.

Unplug compactor cord from wall socket. Remove back panel.

The ram may be raised or lowered manually by using a 15/16"

socket to turn the drive screw nut. Clockwise will lower ram,

counterclockwise will raise it.

DO NOT use plastic bags other than those which have been

designed for use in this compactor. Unauthorized bags may be-

come caught in the mechanism.
With the drawer extended to the second stop, release the con-

tainer latch and swing open door. Slide bag into drawer from

front to back. Fold bag over top rim of drawer on all sides.

Press bag into all corners of the drawer. Smooth and shape the

bag carefully - this will prevent the bag from being torn by the

ram during compaction.

Using buttons on side of drawer, button bag in place by using

prepunched holes in side of bag. NOTE: If you have difficulty

installing bag, move drawer completely from unit by lifting

front of drawer slightly and pulling forward (place on rug or

other surface to protect

floor). This will clear back

of container from housing

for easier bag installation.

Swing door shut and latch

it. Bag is locked between

door flange and drawer.

When door is closed and

latched properly, door

guide “V” will be snug in

“V” groove in drawer

flange. Bag should be

captured in “V” guide.

Failure to align “V” prop-

erly or to latch drawer to

door will cause the com-

pactor to function im-

properly.
