COMPACTOR USE  
How Your Compactor Works  
Loading  
The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which  
compresses the trash. The compacting ram does not go to the  
bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash the  
first few times you load the compactor.  
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with  
hands or feet.  
1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the  
compactor drawer.  
NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than ¹⁄₂ full before  
NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the container only 3" to  
6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load. Use the  
handle to completely pull out the compactor drawer.  
the compactor can begin to compress the load.  
You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles  
may not break at all. The trash in a full compactor bag will be  
about ¹⁄₄ the size of its original bulk.  
2. Place trash in compactor.  
I
Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.  
I
Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors  
such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable  
diapers, or personal hygiene items.  
Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer.  
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught  
between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch  
then senses a misloadand causes the ram to return to the up”  
position without compacting.  
I
Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the  
drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.  
3. Close the drawer.

4. Close compactor.  
5. Lift foot pedal up to start the compacting cycle.  
6. During the compacting cycle, the compactor remains locked  
until you lift up on the foot pedal.  
NOTE: When the compacting cycle is done, open the drawer  
and turn the Key-Knob to OFF.Remove the Key-Knob and  
store it out of childrens reach.  
A. Control panel  
3. Set Cycle switch to Normal Pac.  
Air Freshener  
The solid air freshener system is designed to help control odors  
that might develop in the trash. An air freshener disc can be  
purchased in department stores (not sold with compactor). Place  
the disk-shaped solid air freshener into the air freshener  
compartment. The air freshener should last 4 to 6 weeks. It is  
used more rapidly when the temperature is high or the air is very  
dry.  
4. Close compactor.  
5. Lift foot pedal up to start the compacting cycle.  
NOTE: When the compacting cycle is completed, open the  
drawer and turn the Key-Knob to OFF.Remove the Key-Knob  
and store it out of childrens reach.  
EXTRA PACCycle  
The EXTRA PACcycle extends the use of a bag by putting  
constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back.  
Regular use of the EXTRA PACcycle can increase bag capacity  
up to 25%.  
Removing a Filled Bag  
The compactor bag should be removed when trash is compacted  
almost to the top of the drawer. If bag is too heavy when full,  
remove bag when weight is easier to lift and carry.  
During the EXTRA PACcycle, the ram will stay in the down  
position for extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot  
be opened when the ram is down. For best results, use the  
EXTRA PACcycle for at least 30 minutes at a time.  
IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with  
hands or feet.  
NOTE: Use paper or plastic bags made for use in a compactor.  
These bags are designed to resist cuts, tears and leaks.  
Compactor bags sized to fit compactor drawer make managing  
compacted trash easier. Compactor bags are available from your  
Sears store or service center.

1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the  
compactor drawer. Load trash.
