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. D E F A. Custom panel B. 15" x ¹⁄₂ " quarter-round C. Panel screw locations D. Toe guard E. Washer F. Toe guard screw Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer. Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch then senses a "misload" and causes the ram to return to the "up" position without compacting. 9
