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:

The drawer side is securely locked.

The container is clean and free of debris.

1. Place folded bag into the drawer. Open bag and pull top 

edges over the drawer top. 

2. Lock bag in place by pulling the four prepunched holes over 

the bag retainer buttons. Holes will expand over the buttons 
without damaging the bag.

3. Press inside of bag against the drawer bottom, sides and 

corners for a smooth fit. 

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.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the compactor, turn the Key-Knob (or Key-
Switch) to the OFF & LOCK position and remove it.

NOTE: Any services other than those outlined in this section 
should be performed by a designated service representative.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces

1. Wash exterior surfaces (including stainless steel) with a clean 

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do 
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly 
with a soft cloth. 

2. Wipe up spills right away. Some foods can damage the finish 

if left on the compactor surface.

Cleaning Inside the Drawer

NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of 
glass in the drawer. 

1. Remove the bag. See “Removing a Filled Bag.”

2. Press down on the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock latch).

3. Hold the lever-action lock down and tilt the side of the drawer 

out until the lock clears the drawer front.

NOTE: If desired, the drawer side can be removed by tilting it 
up, then lifting it out.

4. Wash the interior of the drawer with a clean sponge or soft 

cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry 
thoroughly with a soft cloth. 

5. If the drawer side was removed, slide it back into the tilted 

position.

6. Press the lever-action lock (or Side-Lock Latch) down while 

pushing the drawer side to the upright position. 

7. Latch the drawer side by pushing up the lever-action lock (or 

Side-Lock Latch).

Cleaning Inside the Cabinet

NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of 
glass in the cabinet.

1. Pull the drawer out until it stops.

NOTE: Look to see how the drawer rollers move in the tracks. 
It will be easier to replace the drawer after you have finished 
cleaning.
