What It Does Your compactor reduces household trash to as little as 25% of its original volume. How it Works Drop trash into a disposable bag that lines the trash drawer and close the drawer. When you start the compactor, an electrically-operated ram moves down into the drawer, compacts trash, moves back up again—and the compactor shuts off automatically.
TRASH BAG INSTALLATION Reinforced polyethylene bags come with your compactor. These bags are ready to be installed. You must use the specially designed heavy-duty trash bags included with your compactor. Replacement bags can be obtained by calling 800.626.2002. The part number for replacement bags for your model is WC60X5015.
OPERATING YOUR COMPACTOR After installing a trash bag, the compactor is ready to use. Loading Pull the trash drawer out as far as necessary to load the items. • Bottles and large cans compact best when laid flat near the center of the drawer. •...
