Safety and Grounding Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING When using electric appliances, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following: a. Read all the instructions before using the appliance. b. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used near
children. c. Do not contact moving parts. d. Only use attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer. e. Do not use outdoors. f. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off ("O") position, then remove plug from outlet.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions
or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. g. For a grounded appliance Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions. h. To Reduce the Risk of Electric Shock Connect to a receptacle that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Introduction
This manual describes the operational features for the BDS model Bottle Disintegration System. Please review this information before attempting installation and operations. Long term, trouble-free operations will follow if good housekeeping and maintenance procedures are followed. Thank you for selecting Glastender, Inc. products.
What is a Bottle Disintegration System?
It is simply a piece of machinery that crushes or breaks down glass bottles, reducing the area needed to store empty containers and minimizing the volume for disposal purposes. When the ON/OFF switch is on, a motor will run causing the crusher bar to spin rapidly. Glass bottles are introduced into the machine through the bottle chute. When they come in contact with the crusher bar, they are reduced to small pieces of glass called cullet. The cullet falls down the drum and into the bucket in the bottom enclosure of the machine.
For the machine to function normally:
· The bucket must be in place and seated fully in the unit
· The door must be closed
· The covers must be in place
· The crusher bar must be spinning at top speed (allow a minimum of 3 seconds before inserting a bottle)

Cleaning Instructions
General Cleaning and Care Instructions for Stainless Steel: IMPORTANT: Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. Stainless steel will stain or rust if not cared for properly. Please pay attention to the following guidelines:
1. Use the proper tools Use non-abrasive tools, such as a soft cloth or plastic cleaning pad. NEVER use steel wool pads, soap filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cleaners containing chlorine, Cooktop Polishing Creme, or gritty washcloths.
2. Clean with the polish lines Always scrub in a direction that is parallel to the grain or lines in the stainless steel.
3. Clean regularly Make cleaning easier by doing so frequently to avoid build-up of hard, stubborn stains. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated, or non-chloride containing cleaners.
4. Rinse and wipe Anytime chemicals are used to clean stainless steel, make sure to rinse afterward with clean water and wipe away any standing water.
5. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel. Recommended cleaners for specific situations: Stainless steel needs to be cleaned for aesthetic considerations and to preserve corrosion resistance. Stainless steel actually thrives with frequent cleaning, and, unlike some other materials, it is impossible to "wear out" stainless steel by excessive cleaning. Routine cleaning - Use warm water, liquid detergent, ammonia, or all-purpose cleaner. Apply with soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Food spills - Clean Immediately. Use a stainless steel cleaner and polish. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge. Fingerprints and smears - Use a stainless steel cleaner and polish or glass cleaner. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge. Hard water spots - Remove with vinegar. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge.
Daily Cleaning: 1. Turn off unit. Wait 60 seconds before opening door. 2. Open door, remove bucket, and empty cullet. 3. Replace bucket and shut door. 4. Clean outside of unit per General Cleaning and Care Instructions for Stainless Steel above. 5. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the top rubber gasket of the bottle chute.
