Installing Bag
With the door open and
the trash bucket
extended to the furthest
position, place a bag into
the bucket. Fold the bag
over the top rim of the
bucket, on all sides.
Press the bag into all
corners of the bucket and
smooth the bottom.
Smooth and shape the
bag carefully. This will
prevent the bag from
being torn by the ram
during compaction.
Secure the bag in place
over the two buttons on
each side of the bucket.
The bag has prepunched
slots for this purpose.
The compactor is now ready to use.
Compacting
FOR BEST RESULTS, ALWAYS FILL EACH
NEW BAG COMPLETELY BEFORE
OPERATING THE COMPACTOR. DOING
SO WILL MINIMIZE BAG PULL-UP AND
TEARING.
1. Turn Key Lock Switch to
“ON” position.
2. Press “Start” button and
close door - ram will
travel downward into
trash bucket and
compact trash. At
bottom of ram stroke,
ram automatically
reverses and moves upward out of trash
bucket. Total cycle time will be 45
seconds or less. At top of stroke,
compactor automatically shuts itself off
and is ready to receive more trash.
Compacting Tips
• Although it is not necessary to compact
until the bucket is full or nearly so, it is
suggested that for maximum compaction,
you start the compactor each time a
significant amount of trash is added.
• At full stroke, the ram does not travel all
the way to the bottom of the trash bucket.
Trash in the bottom 1/3 of the bucket will
be crushed during subsequent
compacting.
• Glass bottles can make a loud noise when
they break during compaction. This is
normal. Bottles do not always break during
the first cycle. Breaking glass and associated
noise may occur several cycles later
depending on type and volume of trash.
• Bottles and large cans compact best when
laid flat near the center of the trash bucket.
Operation
Preparing Odor Control Disk
Your compactor is equipped with an odor
control disk that will last up to six months
when installed in the trash compactor. The
odor disk comes packaged in a foil pouch
and is activated once the pouch is opened.
The compactor has an electronic control that
automatically advances the odor disk every
30 days until six months have expired.
It is recommended you complete the
following steps to determine when the disk
is scheduled for replacement.
• Open the pouch and remove the odor
control disk and month indicator labels.
Write the “Activation Date” on top of disk
in space provided.
• Starting one month from activation date,
write 5 consecutive dates on the green
labels, each 1 month apart. On the red
label write the date that is 6 months from
the activation date.
• Orient the odor control disk so the
instruction label faces up. Apply the five
green and one red month indicator labels to
the disk as shown.
In this example, 01/01/2011 is the disk
activation date and
the first label is dated 02/01/2011.
Installing Odor Control Disk
1. Swing open the odor
disk tray located on
the control panel.
Install the disk face
down on the tray so
the month one label
faces the tray door.
Close the odor disk
tray.
2. Press the odor
control “Reset”
button on the
control panel to
start the 6 month
timer. The odor status LED will be GREEN.
3. The disk will automatically advance every
30 days or it can be manually advanced by
pressing the odor control “Advance”
button on the control panel. Once the disk
advances, the next 30 day period begins.
4. At the conclusion of the 5th month the
odor status LED will FLASH GREEN to
signal the disk is on its last month.
5. At the conclusion of the 6th month the
odor status LED will turn RED to signal the
disk must be replaced.
6. Discard the used disk in the trash, insert a
new disk and press “Reset”. Odor disk,
Model ODFCU, is available from your
Viking Distributor.
