COMPACTOR USE How Your Compactor Works 2. Place trash in compactor. ■ Wrap or cover wet or messy trash. 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.
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 Flter 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.
