If you need service or
assistance, we suggest
you follow these four
steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind
If the compactor won t operate:
• Is the electric cord securely plugged in'i’
• Have you checked the mam fuse or circuit
breaker box '^
• Is the drawer completely closed^
• Isthe key-knob turned all the way to START
before it is released^
If compactor stops during operation;
• Is the RESTART light ond Push drawer in
while turning key-knob to start. Repeat if
necessary. Rearrange trash load—do not
load rigid items at front of drawer.
Trash not compacted:
• Drawer must be at least 1 3 full to see
compaction
Not enough compaction or force:
• Compacting works best when only a few
items are loaded. Use the compacting
cycle frequently.
Bottles don't break:
• Not all bottles will break every time,
depending upon trash load below it.
Drawer won't open:
• Drawer will open only when ram is all the
way up
• To raise the ram, push drawer in firmly:
turn key-knob to START release key-knob.
• Open drawer lay cans and bottles flat in
center of drawer.
• Start compactor again.
