1. how the compactor works

The Broan compactor compresses household trash up to
1/6 of its original volume. It will compact normal household
trash including milk cartons, glass and plastic bottles,
containers and jars, tin cans, wrappings, boxes, food wastes,
etc.
When you start the compactor, an electrically powered
ram moves down into the trash bucket, compresses the
trash and then returns to the "UP" position and shuts off
automatically.
NOTE: The ram travels about 2/3 of the way down into the
trash bucket. Because of this, the trash bucket must be at
least 1/3 full before you will notice any compression.
