EXTRA PAC
™
Cycle
The EXTRA PAC
™
cycle extends the use of a bag by putting
constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back.
Regular use of the EXTRA PAC
™
cycle can increase bag capacity
up to 25%.
During the EXTRA PAC
™
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
EXTRA PAC
™
cycle for at least 30 minutes at a time.
To use EXTRA PAC
™
cycle
1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the
compactor drawer. Load trash.
2. Keep Key-Knob (located on the control panel) in the “ON”
position.
3. Set Cycle switch to Extra Pac.
4. Close compactor.
5. Press foot-actuated START pedal to start the compacting
cycle.
6. During the compacting cycle, the compactor remains locked
until you lift up on the foot pedal.
NOTE: When the compacting cycle is done, open the
drawer and turn the Key-Knob to “OFF.” Remove the Key-
Knob and store it out of children’s reach.
Air Freshener
The solid air freshener system is designed to help control odors
that might develop in the trash. An air freshener disc can be
purchased in department stores (not sold with compactor). Place
the disk-shaped solid air freshener into the air freshener
compartment. The air freshener should last 4 to 6 weeks. It is
used more rapidly when the temperature is high or the air is
very dry.
Removing a Filled Bag
The compactor bag should be removed when trash is
compacted almost to the top of the drawer. If bag is too heavy
when full, remove bag when weight is easier to lift and carry.
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with
hands or feet.
NOTE: Use paper or plastic bags made for use in a compactor.
These bags are designed to resist cuts, tears and leaks.
Compactor bags sized to fit compactor drawer make managing
compacted trash easier. Compactor bags are available from
your Sears store or service center.
To remove a filled bag
1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the
compactor drawer completely.
2. You may already have a paper or plastic bag in place.
Please refer to appropriate instructions for your bag.
■ If you have a paper bag, lift and fold up the top folded
edges of the bag. Fold ends in and bring side flaps
together. Fold flaps to close bag.
