Using the Trash Compactor
Compactor
ON/OFF
Knob The removable knob is provided for your
protection as a safety measure. When the knob
switch is in the OFF position, the compactor will
not operate. Child Lockout Instructions:
Lock the compactor when it is not in
use, by removing the knob. This will keep children
from operating the compactor and prevent
anyone from tampering with it.
Drawer
Safety
Switch The compactor has two safety switches to
ensure that the drawer is in its fully closed
position for operation. The compactor will not
cycle without the drawer being fully closed.
What It Does
and How It
Works Your compactor reduces household trash to as
little as one-fourth of its original volume.
It compacts most refuse, including paper,
cans, bottles, jars, plastic containers, wrappings,
sweepings and some food wastes.
Drop trash into the disposable bag (designed for
compactor use) that lines the compactor 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.
NOTE: The trash drawer must be at least 1/2 full
before you will notice compaction because the
ram does not travel all the way down into the
drawer. By adding trash, compaction is
transferred to the items below until all trash
is compacted.
Trash Bag
Installation Before installing a new bag, be sure that:
1. The drawer side is securely locked.
2. The container is clean and free of sharp
debris that may puncture the bag.
Reinforced plastic bags came with your
compactor and are ready to be installed.
You must use the specially designed
heavy-duty trash bags included with your
compactor. These bags are available from
your dealer or Factory Service Center. Ask
for catalog number WC60X10005.

To install a new bag:
1. Place the bag into the drawer over the bag
caddy. Open the bag and pull the top edges
over the drawer top.
2. Lock the bag in place by pulling the four
prepunched holes over the bag retainer
buttons. Holes will expand over the
buttons without harming the bag.
3. Press inside of bag against the drawer
bottom, sides and corners for a smooth fit.
