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. NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than ¹⁄₂ full before 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. ■ Wrap or cover wet or messy trash. ■ Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable diapers, or personal hygiene items. ■ 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. WHISPER QUIET® Plus System The WHISPER QUIET® Plus system helps to maintain a quiet home environment during compactor operation. NOTE: The contents of the trash may affect the noise level of your compactor. See "Compactor Use." 7
