We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. [. . . ] Do not load bottles in an upright position. Using Solid (Locked) Cycle The Solid (Locked) cycle extends the use of a bag by putting constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back. Regular use of the Solid (Locked) cycle can increase bag capacity up to 25 percent. During the Solid (Locked) cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for extra compacting. While the Solid (Locked) cycle is operating, an indicator shows on the control panel. For best results, use the Solid (Locked) cycle for at least 30 minutes at a time. s To use Solid (Locked) cycle: 3. NOTE: The indicator on the control panel shows when the Solid (Locked) cycle is in use. 2. After 30 minutes or more, turn the Key-Knob to START to raise the compacting ram OR press NORMAL (UNLOCKED). Remove the Key-Knob and store it out of children's reach. 10 Using the Air Filter or Freshener The fan-powered charcoal Air Filter absorbs and minimizes odor. The degree of odor in the compactor depends on the type of trash placed in it. The length of time before the filter needs to be replaced varies with the type of trash compacted. Under normal use the filter should be replaced once or twice per year. Installing a New Bag Do not use any kind of bag other than those designed especially for use in your compactor. Order replacement compactor bags through your local dealer or by calling the toll-free number on the cover or in the "Assistance or Service" section. IMPORTANT: Before installing a new bag, be sure: s The drawer side is securely locked. s To use the filter: 1. NOTE: The charcoal Air Filter works even when the Key-Knob is in the OFF position. Press OFF on the charcoal Air Filter control to turn off the fan. The container is clean and free of debris. 1. Open bag and pull top edges over the drawer top. Removing a Filled Bag When the trash is compacted to the top of the drawer, remove the bag. If the bag is too heavy, compact less trash before emptying it in the future. Lock bag in place by pulling the four prepunched holes over the bag retainer buttons. Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides and corners for a smooth fit. 3. Lift out bag. 11 COMPACTOR CARE Your new compactor is designed to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you are expected to do in order to properly maintain your compactor. This section will tell you how to clean and care for your compactor. Changing the Air Filter or Freshener It is recommended that you use either the charcoal air filter or the air freshener in the filter compartment. [. . . ] In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.
