Irrespectively of this manual exist only germany language, it's useful - although i need some additional task to translate: My english is bad, but usable - but i really dont speak germany. :)
Excellent service from this company (including a total refund on an earlier purchase when through no fault of the company the manual was incomplete). I have purchased several manuals which I have been very satisfied with, as I am with this one. Highly recommended.
Manual was delivered in a timely manner and was all in English as advertised. The manuals I received when we moved into our flat were in German, Italian, and French. Having never used a steamer before, and not speaking/reading German very well, I needed an English Manual. this was a huge help.

HowYourCompactor Works
In NORMAL Cycle, the compacting ram does not go to the drawer bottom. You will not see compacting of the first few loadings.
Compaction starts after the drawer is about l/3 full. 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 l/4 the size of its original bulk.
Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch senses a �mislead� and causes the ram to return to the �up� position without compacting. Load bulky trash, bottles and cans in the center of the drawer.
