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 will not 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 ON? Turn the Key-
Knob (Key-Switch) fully to ON. See "Starting Your
Compactor."
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

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.
Cleaning Before a Vacation
The drawer will not open
Did you lift up on the handle to pull drawer out or press foot
pedal? Drawer is designed to slightly open until you lift up
on the handle to pull drawer out or press on the foot pedal.
Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram
is fully raised.
To raise the ram, lift up on the foot pedal. See "Starting Your
Compactor."
Is the EXTRA PAC™ cycle selected? Drawer remains locked
until you reset it by lifting up on the foot pedal. See
"Starting Your Compactor."
There is not enough compaction or force
Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough?
