Jenn-Air TC507 Manuel D’Utilisation

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.

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 toe bar 

to open the drawer.

NOTE: Pressing the toe bar opens the container only 3 in. to 
6 in. (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load.
