Bag Removal
We recommend removing bag when trash is compacted to four
or five inches below top of basket. If you find this is too heavy,
compact less trash next time.
1. Pull basket release handle down. Lift storage compartment cover
up. Release bag from buttons. Pull up top edges of bag. 
2. Close bag with twisties provided. (See illustrations)
3. Grasp trash bag handles and carefully remove from drawer. Carry
basket with bag to trash storage area.
4. Pull handles of basket away from each
other to loosen bag. 
5. Lift bag out.

The compactor ram will move down inside the trash drawer,
reverse, and return to original position, completing the cycle in
approximately 35 seconds. As the basket is filled, the ram travels a
shorter distance and cycle time decreases.

As the ram compacts difficult to break items, you may notice a
downward movement of the compactor drawer. This in normal and will
not cause damage. The spring-loaded drawer is specially designed to
move down freely and return to its original position. The force of the
ram during a compaction cycle is absorbed by the heavy gauge steel
frame of the compactor.

You may stop or interrupt a compaction cycle at any time and
raise the ram to its original position.
1. Turn the key/knob to STOP position to stop the ram.
2. Turn the key/knob to START position and HOLD momentarily to
return the ram to original position. The drawer may then be
opened.
3. Turn key/knob to START position and HOLD to start another cycle.
