Cleaning the Ram
NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of glass
on the ram cover.
1. Wipe glass particles off of the ram cover with a cloth or paper
towels.
2. Remove foods with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Trash is not compacting
Is the drawer less than half-full? Drawer must be more than
half full before trash is compacted.
Your compactor won't operate
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3
prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly and
start the compactor again.
Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START? Turn the Key-
Knob (Key-Switch) fully to START and release (on some models).
See "Starting the Compactor."
Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON before
pressing START (on some models). See "Starting the
Compactor."

Cleaning Before a Vacation
If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the
compactor bag. Remove the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) and store it
out of children's reach.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The drawer won't open
Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is
fully raised.
To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or Key-Switch):
Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) to START and release. See
"Starting the Compactor."
To raise the ram on models with push button controls:
Press OFF, and then press ON. See "Starting the Compactor."
Is the Solid Cycle engaged? Drawer remains LOCKED until you
reset by lifting the foot pedal up.
There is not enough compaction or force
Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough?
Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.
Bottles don't break
How often do you notice this? Bottles will not break every time.
The thickness of the bottle's glass and the content of the trash
load below it may keep the bottle from breaking.
