COMPACTOR USE
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 V2full 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. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about V4the
size of its original bulk.
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer.
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught
between the ram and the drawen The Drawer Monitor Switch then
senses a "misload" and causes the ram to return to the "up" position
without compacting.
