Trash Compactors
The compactors has safety interlocks and will not operate unless
you have closed the trash drawer, turned key to unlocked (vertical)
position, and pushed the Start button. The Stop button will stop
the ram movement at any point. After stopping the unit, push the
start button and ram will return to its original up position. Caution:
Do not allow children to operate compactor. It is recommended that
you lock the unit, and remove the key when the unit is not in use.
OPERATING COMPACTOR
It is not necessary to run a compaction cycle every time you place
trash in the drawer. However, the more often you run a cycle, the
inore compact the trash will be. To start the compactor, proceed
as follows:
1. Close the large trash drawer.
2. Turn the key to the unlocked (vertical) position.
3. Push the Start button.
The compactor ram will move down inside the trash drawer. The complete
cycle of the ram moving down, reversing, and then return¬ing
to its original position will take approximately 35 seconds. As
the basket fills, and the ram travels a shorter distance, this time
will lessen.
The ram does not go all the way to the bottom of the drawer; therefore,
you can expect to cycle several loose trash loads before compaction
is evident. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
As the ram compacts difficult-to-break items you may notice a downward
movement of the compactor drawer. This is normal and will not cause
damage. The spring-loaded drawer is specially designed to freely
move down and return to its original position. As the ram compacts
the contents, the entire force of the ram is absorbed by the rigid
steel frame of the compactor.
Note: It is possible for a cycle to be incomplete
when you have not firmly closed the drawer before pushing the Start
button. If this occurs, the unit will shut off but the drawer cannot
be pulled open. Close drawer firmly and push the Start button. The
ram will then return to the original up position.
