COMPACTOR USE ■ How Your Compactor Works 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.
Using the Air Filter or Freshener Installing a New Bag 1. Set the Air Filter switch to ON. The fan creates air movement in the compactor for odor removal. NOTE: The charcoal Air Filter works only when the Key-Knob is in the ON position. Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed especially for use in your compactor. Order replacement compactor bags through your local dealer or by calling the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Assistance or Service” section.
COMPACTOR CARE 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. Changing the Air Filter or Freshener It is recommended that you use either the charcoal air filter or the air freshener in the filter compartment.
3. Grasp the drawer on the sides and pull it out the rest of the way. Set the drawer down gently.

Remove foods with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. 4. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet.
