IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with

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.

■
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.

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.”

2. Leave Key-Knob in ON position.
3. Set Solid Cycle switch to OFF.

Using Solid (Locked) Cycle
The Solid (Locked) Cycle extends the use of the bag by putting
constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back.
Regular use of solid cycle can increase bag capacity up to
25 percent.
During Solid Cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for
extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened
when the ram is down.
For best results, use the Solid Cycle for at least 30 minutes at a
time.
1. Open container. Load trash.
2. Set compactor Solid Cycle switch to ON.
3. Close container.
4. Lift the foot pedal UP to START cycle.
5. Container remains LOCKED untill you RESET by lifting the
foot pedal UP.
Using the Filter
1. Set the Air Filter switch to ON. The fan creates air movement
in the compactor for odor removal.
NOTE: The Charcoal Air Flter works only when the Key-Knob
is in the ON position.
2. Set the Air Filter switch to OFF to turn off the fan.
Removing a Filled Bag

the bag. If the bag is too heavy, compact less trash before
emptying it in the future.
