A comprehensive Operating and Service Manual. All schematics are complete and easy to read. The PCB drawings and complete parts list are very helpful. I would definitely recommend this manual.
Genuine Toshiba owner's manual. Couldn't really ask for more. And written in understandable English in contrast to a few recent experiences I have had with manuals for other equipment other than Toshiba but made in China and written in "Chinglish"!

HowYourCompactor Works
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 % 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 �/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.
