Basic precautions should always be taken when using an electrical
appliance – including the following:
1. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
operated near children. Do not allow the appliance to be
used as a toy, or to run unattended at any time. Turn key to
"OFF" and remove it to lock the compactor. Store the key
out of reach to prevent children or others from operating or
tampering with the compactor.
2. Do not push trash into compactor drawer with hands or
feet. Trash might contain broken glass, sharp pieces of
metal, etc., which would cause injury.

cans, and paint thinner cans could combust spontaneously
and cause an explosion and/or fire.

holding toxic chemicals, insecticides, or combustible
contents. Fumes may be released which are hazardous to
health.

burning items.

other sharp objects may pierce bag. Do not overload trash
bag with heavy material such as glass.
