Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or

explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

 This compactor is for household use only. Use

this appliance only for its intended

purpose as

described in this Owner’s Manual.

 Close supervision is necessary when any

appliance is operated near children. Do not

allow the compactor to be used as a toy, or to

run unattended at any time.

 CHILD LOCK-OUT INSTRUCTIONS: Turn

the knob to OFF and remove it when not

compacting trash. This will help prevent

anyone from tampering with the compactor

or children from operating it.

 Do not push trash into the drawer with hands

or feet. Trash might contain broken glass,

sharp pieces of metal, or other sharp objects

that might cause injury.

 When removing or carrying the trash bag,

keep the bag away from your body. Sharp

objects may have pierced it.

 Be careful when cleaning the inside of the

cabinet or trash drawer. Glass fragments may

be stuck to the ram, imbedded in the drawer

surface or lying in the bottom of the cabinet.

 Do not install or store compactor where it will

be exposed to outside conditions.

 Make sure the compactor is properly installed

and leveled on a floor that can support its

weight.

 Do not touch moving parts.

 Do not compact food waste such as raw meat

and fish, rinds, personal hygiene items and

disposable diapers. These items create very

strong odors and should not go into the

compactor.

 Do not use as a freestanding unit. Use only as

a built-in unit.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST UNREASONABLE USE

OF YOUR COMPACTOR:

 Never compact shotgun shells, cartridges for

firearms, fireworks, etc., which are highly

explosive.

 Never compact flammable materials such as

paint, oil- or gasoline-saturated rags, engine

starting fluid cans, paint thinner cans, etc.—

spontaneous combustion or explosive vapor

concentrations could occur.

 Never compact containers of toxic chemicals

such as strong insecticides or other poisonous

materials—compaction could release

hazardous fumes.

 Never compact aerosol cans containing

explosive or highly toxic chemicals. (If

you are sure the aerosol cans contain

non-hazardous materials such as shaving

cream, cheese spread and whipped cream,

they may be compacted.)

 Do not compact lit cigarettes, cigars, or other

hot or burning items.

 Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other appliance.

 Do not overload your appliance.

 Handle a loaded trash bag with care. Sharp

objects can pierce the bag and cause injury.

Do not overload trash bag with heavy

material such as glass.

Can my GE appliance also run on a generator? Verified

In general this is possible, but always check this with the manufacturer of your generator. Also be aware that some appliances require a lot of power when starting up (ie: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners). It's also a good idea to use a generator that is voltage regulated and surge protected. When in doubt you should contact the manufacturer.
