PRODUCT USE AND OPERATION
INTENDED USE
In order for the Compax One
™
to function as intended, it must be used in the correct manner. Some guidelines regarding the
intended use of the product are given below.
LOADING
The Compax One
™
is, by design, always ready for
accommodation of waste. However, the appliance may be
allowed to complete an already ongoing compression cycle
despite people entering the room, based on customer
preference.
To maintain a proper sealing of the waste bag, keep the
gasket clean and uncontaminated.
The Compax One
™
is intended for paper waste and light
general waste. Do not load bulky items that does not fit
into the container, and
never
attempt to force it in.
The waste bag is susceptible to puncture if sharp and pointy
items are loaded.
NOTE:
Although it is not necessary for the Compax One
™
to
run more than one compression cycle between each
loading of waste, it is suggested that the Compax One
™
should be set to compact every time its built-in algorithm
calculates a need for compaction in order to achieve
maximum volume efficiency.
COMPACTING
Starting the Compax One
™
:
1.
Ensure that the Compax One
™
is connected to the
mains power network. The light on top of the Compax
One
™
indicates power connection.
2.
Make sure the bag holder device is in its correct
position and that the door is properly closed.
3.
A compression cycle will initiate as soon as the waste
bag is filled up and no recent movement is detected.
A full compression cycle lasts for approximately 70 seconds.
As the container fills up with waste, the cycle time
progressively shortens. However, there are two events that
are plausible reasons for the Compax One
™
to reopen the
lid subsequent to an initiated compression cycle:
Timeout:
If the compression cycle is not stopped after
approximately 70 seconds, it will be stopped by exceeding a
timeout threshold of 85 seconds.
4
Interruption:
If motion is detected during a compression
cycle, the cycle is terminated. In this case the Compax
One
™ will initiate a new y le as soon as the room is
leared if needed. Howe er the Com a One™
may be
allowed to complete a compression cycle despite people
entering the room, based on customer preference.
Stopping the Compax One
™
:
The Compax One
™
may be stopped at any time.
1.
As soon as motion is detected in the room the lid will,
by default, rotate up to its stand-by position. However,
the stomer an s e ify that the Com a One™ is
allowed to complete an already ongoing compression
cycle despite people entering the room. Hence further
a tion is needed to sto the Com a One™:
2.
Open the door and reach for the power plug at the top
of the back wall and pull it out. If the Compax One
™ is
connected to the mains power network via a regular
power plug in a wall-socket easily accessible, this plug
can be pulled out instead.
NOTES:
Compaction of the waste will not occur the first few times
it is loaded.
The waste fullness level should exceed
approximately ¾ before Compax One
™
initiates
compression, and for the compression to be efficient.
When sharp and/or pointy items are loaded and
compacted, small punctures and tears in the bag may
occur.
This is relatively normal and only slightly affects the
performance of the Compax One
™
due to the way these
holes are “lo ed away” as the bag ontra ts d ring a
compression cycle. However, if the hole is large, it may
affect the performance to an increasing extent.
Bottles and other containers will not necessarily be
compacted if loaded.
However, such items will not affect
the performance beyond taking up the same volume
before, during and after the content is compacted.

Timeout threshold limit may be altered based on customer need.
