Lift the Handle to tilt the Tray so that the waste falls into the trash can. 4. Return the Tray to the horizontal and latched position. NOTE: Aluminum foil trash items may activate the alarm. In this case, be sure there are not also any valuable items on the Tray causing the alarm before dropping the waste into the trash can. If foil waste continues to be an issue, please see `False Alarms' on page 9. Lights Light Cause Metal Detected Action Check the Tray for any metal items and remove.

Magnetic Connector is Disconnected Low Battery (page 14) Ensure that the Magnetic Connector of the Control Box is securely connected to the Magnetic Pads of the Tray and press the Reset button . If this does not solve the problem, read `Error Light (yellow) is solid On' on page 16 in the Troubleshooting section for further possible causes and their solutions. Charge the battery as soon as convenient -- see `Batteries and Charging' on page 14. 8 SilverSaver® 1000 User Manual False Alarms When the Detection Alarm is activated but there are no valuable items on the Tray, the cause is usually aluminum foil wrappers, creamer tops, bottle tops, etc. The SilverSaver® 1000 is initially set to Full Detection Mode, so will detect all metal items that are on the Tray including foil. If detection of scrap foil is a problem, we recommend that supplies with foil be re-sourced to exclude the foil. For example, creamers and butter pats can be purchased with wax paper instead of foil. If foil detection is still an issue, the situation may be improved by changing the Detection Mode. Changing the Detection Mode The SilverSaver 1000® has two Detection Modes -- Full Detection Mode and Reduced Detection Mode (RDM). Full Detection Mode: If foil products are not commonly found in the waste stream, use Full Detection Mode. With the unit ON, hold down the Reset button and then press the Volume Up Button . A rising tone and Detection Mode Light (blue) OFF indicates the unit is now in Full Detection Mode. Reduced Detection Mode (RDM): If waste foil is causing frequent false alarms, use Reduced Detection Mode. With the unit ON, hold down the Reset button and then press the Volume Down Button . A falling tone and Detection Mode Light (blue) ON indicates the unit is now in Reduced Detection Mode. NOTE: Due to technology constraints, some types of foil will still be detected even in Reduced Detection Mode. 9 SilverSaver® 1000 User Manual Tips for Best Results · Tilt the Tray after each load to make it easier to find valuable items. · If the SilverSaver® 1000 is moved to a different location, press the Reset button re-calibrate for optimum performance in the new location. to quickly · The best way to maximize the cost-saving benefits of the SilverSaver® is to ensure it is used consistently -- for this reason, do not leave a spare bagged trash can within easy reach of the cleaning station. This is to discourage use of a trash can that does not have a SilverSaver® attached. Never allow any waste to enter the trash can without passing through the SilverSaver®. 10 SilverSaver® 1000 User Manual Ramekins Ramekin Savers are adhesive labels that can be applied to the underside of non-metallic ramekins and other non-metallic valuable items so that they can be detected by the SilverSaver® 1000. Ramekin Savers are specifically designed and manufactured to maximize detection and to maintain strong adhesion for thousands of wash cycles in high-pressure dishwashing machines and when exposed to high temperatures. Some sample Ramekin Savers are supplied with the SilverSaver® 1000. Additional Ramekin Savers are available for separate purchase. Applying Ramekin Savers to Ramekins 1. Throughly clean and dry the ramekins. Pay special attention to the base where the Ramekin Saver will be applied. 2. Remove the backing from the Ramekin Saver label, being careful not to get fingerprints on the adhesive. 3. Apply the Ramekin Saver to the clean and dry base of the ramekin. 4. Press down firmly over the entire Ramekin Saver, especially at the perimeter. 11 SilverSaver® 1000 User Manual Cleaning Cleaning the Control Box CAUTION: DO NOT CLEAN THE CONTROL BOX IN A DISHWASHING MACHINE.
