GE Monogram ZCGS150P Manuel D’Utilisation

Your new compactor is designed to give you many years of 

dependable service. However, there are a few things you are 

expected to do in order to properly maintain your compactor. This 

section will tell you how to clean and care for your compactor.

It is recommended that you use the charcoal air filter in the filter 

compartment.
To order the correct replacement charcoal filters, call the toll-free 

number 1-800-626-2002 (U.S.), 1-800-661-1616 (Canada). 
1. Insert fingertips in the air filter cover and pull until the side tabs 

release. Then, lift the cover to release the bottom tabs.

2. Remove the air filter by pulling the top edge of the filter. The filter 

should pull out easily. Throw away used filter.

3. To replace air filter, push the replacement filter into place.
4. Insert the bottom tabs of the air filter cover and push in until the 

side tabs snap into place. 

Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) to 

the OFF & LOCK position and remove it.
NOTE: Any services other than those outlined in this section should 

be performed by a designated service representative.

1. Wash exterior surfaces (including stainless steel) with a clean 

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not 

use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a 

soft cloth. 

2. Wipe up spills right away. Some foods can damage the finish if 

left on the compactor surface.

NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of glass 

in the drawer. 
1. Remove the bag. See the “Removing a Filled Bag.”
2. Press down on the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock latch).

3. Hold the lever-action lock down and tilt the side of the drawer out 

until the lock clears the drawer front.
NOTE: If desired, the drawer side can be removed by tilting it up, 

then lifting it out.

4. Wash the interior of the drawer with a clean sponge or soft cloth 

and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly 

with a soft cloth. 

5. If the drawer side was removed, slide it back into the tilted 

position.

6. Press the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch) down while 

pushing the drawer side to the upright position. 

7. Latch the drawer side by pushing up the lever-action lock (or 

Side-Lock Latch).

NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of glass 

in the cabinet.
1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.

NOTE: Look to see how the drawer rollers move in the tracks. It 

will be easier to replace the drawer after you have finished 

cleaning. 

2. Lift the front of the drawer to clear the stops.
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the way. 

Set the drawer down gently.

4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash should 

be cleaned up by hand, or by using a vacuum designed to pick 

up liquids.
