Before you Start - Initial Set Up

Install your appliance and ensure either a stainless steel door or furniture door is

fitted in accordance with the instructions contained in the Installation Manual.

Ensure the door is closed before turning the power on. Once the power is on you

will hear a bleeping noise indicating that the appliance is setting itself for use.

Ensure all packaging and literature has been removed from the appliance and that

the bottom plate inside the Main Collection Bin is inserted smooth side facing

inside the bin.

Please Note: As a safety precaution all drawers inside the appliance and the main

door must be fully closed for the appliance to operate. A rapid bleeping alarm will

sound if a drawer or door is open. Close the open drawer or door to stop the

alarm.

POWER CUT

In the event of a power cut the appliance will automatically reset itself by

returning the crushing mechanisms to their neutral position provided that all

drawers and main door are fully closed.

DO NOT OPERATE

Do not operate the appliance without a main door fitted.

DUTY CYCLE

The design of this appliance envisages that its compaction mechanisms will not

need to be subject to continuous operation and the motors used have been

specified accordingly. Each compaction mechanism should not be subject to more

than two minutes continuous use (approximately 6 cycles of either the Can Crush

Drawer or compaction of the Main Collection Bin). In the event of continuous

operation for two minutes, the relevant mechanisms should not be used for 18

minutes before further operation. Failure to comply with this requirement will

cause the relevant motor to exceed its “duty cycle” and will void your warranty.

US/Can

11

WHEN NOT IN USE

When the appliance is not in use, the main door must be kept firmly closed.

CHILD SAFETY LOCK

Never let children play with the appliance. To prevent unsupervised use of this

appliance by children a child lock has been fitted on the inner base the appliance

to the side of the Main Collection Bin. Remove the bin to access the key lock. Turn

the lock anticlockwise to disengage the power as required and clockwise to

reengage. Remove the key for safe keeping.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT push rubbish down into the Main Collection Bin or drawers with your

hands as this may damage the appliance. The appliance will compact your

recycling for you when in operation.

DO NOT compact items that may develop offensive odours such as food and

beverage waste, disposable hygiene items or any items which have a moisture

content. This compactor is for dry recyclable waste only NOT for food or beverage

waste.

US/Can

12

How to use the Main Collection Bin

Suitable for use with the following recycling waste: bulky plastic, card and paper

packaging items

1. Open the appliance door and

make sure your bin is ready for use.

The removable bin base should be

inserted flat side facing upwards

inside the bin so that it rests on the

flanges at the bottom.

We recommend you use a custom fit

Krüshr bag to line the bin so as to ease

emptying the compacted waste and of

course help to keep the bin clean.

Before fitting a bag we suggest you

look to see how the bin sits on the

four rollers on top of its frame.

See separate section for instructions on how to fit a Krüshr bag.

2. Once the bin is ready for use, place your recycling materials into the bin.

ONLY when the bin is at least two thirds full should you press the power switch

(blue button) and shut the door. You will hear a slow bleeping noise which

indicates that compaction is in operation. During this operation the compaction

mechanism moves down inside the main bin exerting significant force. Do not

open the door whilst compaction of the Main Collection Bin is in operation. For

your safety, should you open the door during this operation, this will halt the

procedure and a fast bleeping alarm will sound. Immediately close the door to

stop the alarm and allow the appliance to reset itself.

WARNING - DO NOT exceed the duty cycle of this appliance referred to in Initial

Set Up.

3. HYPERCRUSH MODE. This appliance is fitted with an enhanced

compaction facility called “hypercrush”. This feature is designed to overcome

the memory effect in many recyclable materials which gives them a tendency to

gain their original shape following initial compaction. Using the hypercrush

mode at regular intervals will allow you to make maximum use of the capacity of

the main bin.

4. TO USE THE HYPERCRUSH

MODE press and hold the blue button

for three seconds before releasing.

The blue button will start flashing.

Close the main door. The bin contents

will be crushed and the crushing

mechanism will remain in the

downward position. This operation

delays withdrawal of the compaction

plate from the Main Collection Bin

leaving the compacted material at

maximum compaction for one hour.

After this time the appliance

automatically resets itself for further

use

5. To disengage the hypercrush mode at any time simply pull the main door

open by 1cm. It will not open further whilst the compaction plate sits in the Main

US/Can

14

Collection Bin – DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THE DOOR OPEN. The alarm will start

bleeping – close the door completely to enable the compaction plate to return to

its neutral position. The appliance will take a few moments to reset. Once the

alarm has stopped bleeping you can fully open the main door for further loading.

6. Continue to refill the bin until full. IMPORTANT - DO NOT physically try to

compact the waste inside the bin by pushing it down whilst the bin is open as

this will damage the appliance and could invalidate your warranty.

7. To empty, lift the bin out of the appliance onto the floor and press down

on the sides of the bin. This will help loosen the contents at the bottom of the

bin for emptying. If a Krüshr bag has been used to line the bin, simply lift the bag

out of the bin.

Please note: This appliance is designed for dry waste only. To avoid unpleasant

smells and odours do not use for food or beverage waste, disposable hygiene

items or other items which have moisture content.

US/Can

15

How to use the Can Crush Drawer

Suitable for use with food and drink

cans or tins. Ensure cans and tins

are empty and have lids or pull

rings removed before loading. It is

best practice to rinse these items

before loading to prevent stickiness

or odour within the appliance

WARNING

DO NOT crush aerosol cans or similar pressurised containers in this appliance.

The Can Crush Drawer is for the compaction of cans and tins only. Certain metal

items such as foil and foil trays must not be compacted in the Can Crush Drawer

but placed directly and without any compaction into the Can Collection Drawer.

To avoid damage to the crushing mechanism only one item should be crushed

per cycle. Do not overload.

1. Pull open the drawer and place the metal can or tin inside the drawer on

its side with the open end towards you.

2. Close the drawer fully. You will hear the can or tin being crushed before it

drops into the Can Collection Drawer located beneath. NOTE: the Can Collection

Drawer must be fully closed in order for the Can Crush Drawer to function.

Please note: Opening the Can Crush Drawer during compaction will halt the

operation and the appliance will start bleeping. Closing the Can Crush Drawer

will stop the bleeping and reset the appliance. To restart compaction of the can

or tin reopen and close the Can Crush Drawer.

US/Can

16

How to Empty the Can Collection Drawer

The Can Collection Drawer sits beneath the Can Crush Drawer and will hold

between 50 and 60 crushed cans or tins depending on their size.

To empty the Can Collection Drawer open it fully before lifting it up and out of

the appliance. Empty the drawer’s contents before inserting it back into position

by gently guiding the drawer rollers back into the runners and close fully. NOTE

the Can Collection Drawer must be fully closed in order for the Can Crush Drawer

to function.

Additional Storage Drawers

Two additional drawers facilitate the storage of non-crush items such as glass.

Each drawer is easy to remove by pulling the drawer out to its full length and

gently lifting up and away from the appliance. Two carrying handles located on

either side of the drawer make it easy to carry when full. Once emptied, replace

the drawer by guiding the rollers on each side gently back into the runners and

push back into position.

How to fit a Krushr Bag

Careful compliance with these instructions is necessary to avoid the bag

snagging on and becoming trapped in the crushing mechanism. Many of our

customers find it convenient to spend a few moments to insert a bin liner into

the Main Collection Bin. This helps with removal of the waste when the bin is full

and also keeps the bin clean. Our bags are strong enough to withstand tearing

during compaction of the waste and are custom made for each model ensuring a

snug fit inside the bin. Use of a non-Krüshr bag is not recommended. The forces

of compaction may tear a weaker bag. Furthermore, an oversized or undersized

bag will make it more likely that the bag will become trapped in the crushing

mechanism potentially requiring a service engineer visit. Please note that where

a non-Krüshr bag is used which gets trapped inside the compaction mechanism,

any resulting call out or damage to your appliance is not covered under your

warranty.

1. Remove the bin from the supporting cage noting how the top rim of the

bin rests on the rollers at the top of the cage.

2. Unfold a bag noting how the bag is shaped to fit the bin.

3. Lower the bag into the bin folding between

6” – 8” over the top of the bin. This will ensure that

the bag does not fall into the bin during operation

and leave enough excess at the top to secure fitment

around the rim of the bin. It is important that the bag

inside the bin is not too tight so as to allow for

compaction of the waste without tearing the bag.

US/Can

18

4. Once the bag is inserted, lower the bin back into

its supporting frame pushing the overhanging 6” – 8”

of bag down between the outer edge of the bin and

the supporting cage. It is important that the bag is

pinched between the lower side of the rim of the bin

and the rollers on which it rests.

PLEASE NOTE that ONLY once the bin is at least two thirds full should you press

the blue button to compact the waste. Failure to adhere to this requirement

makes it more likely that the bag becomes trapped in the mechanism.
