Frequently Asked Questions - FCU150 VIKING

How do I install the odor control disk?
Open the foil pouch, remove the disk and month labels. Write the activation date on the disk. Apply the labels (5 green, 1 red) in order. Swing open the odor disk tray on the control panel, insert the disk face down so that month one label faces the tray door. Close the tray and press the Reset button to start the 6-month timer.
What should I do if the compactor does not start?
Check that the power cord is plugged in securely, the house fuse or circuit breaker has not tripped, the door is firmly shut, the key switch is in the ON position, and the Start button has been pressed long enough. Also, the motor has an automatic thermal cutout; wait a few minutes if the unit has been used repeatedly.
Can I compact glass bottles and cans?
Yes, glass bottles and cans can be compacted. However, they may break loudly. It is recommended to place folded newspaper or a paper grocery bag on top of the load to contain shattering fragments. Lay bottles and large cans flat near the center of the bucket for best results.
What items should not be compacted?
Never compact aerosol cans, paint, oily rags, lighter fluid or paint thinner cans, or any containers holding toxic chemicals or insecticides. These can cause fire, explosion, or release hazardous fumes. Also, do not compact lighted cigarettes or other hot or burning items.
How do I remove the trash bag?
Slide out the trash bucket, unbutton the bag from the bucket, twist the top, and fasten with the twist-tie. Lift the door up and pull forward to unlatch the bucket, then lift the bag out. To reattach, lift the door and push toward the compactor until it latches.
How does the delay start feature work?
To set the current time, press and hold Clock until the display flashes, then use the up/down arrows. To set a delay start, press and hold Auto Delay Set until the display flashes, set the desired time, press Set again. Then press Auto Delay Start to activate. The ram will compact at that time and hold for 2 hours before returning.
How do I clean the compactor?
Use a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh or gritty cleansers. The trash bucket and compaction plate can be removed for cleaning; the plate is dishwasher safe. Vacuum the cabinet base and track channels. Always remove sharp fragments before wiping.
What is the key lock for?
The key lock switch has three positions: ON (ready to operate, key cannot be removed), OFF (unit off but key removable), and LOCK (unit disabled). Remove the key to prevent children or unauthorized use.
Why is the trash not being compressed?
The ram only travels about 2/3 of the way into the bucket. The bucket must be at least 1/3 full before compression is noticeable. Trash in the bottom 1/3 will be crushed during subsequent cycles. Also, ensure the bag is properly installed and not blocking the ram.
Where is the model and serial number located?
The model and serial number are on the identification plate located on the bottom left side of the compactor door opening. Record these numbers for warranty and service purposes.

How the Compactor Works

The Viking compactor compresses household trash up to 1/6 of its original volume. It will compact normal household trash including milk cartons, glass and plastic bottles, containers and jars, tin cans, wrappings, boxes, food wastes, etc.

When you start the compactor, an electrically powered ram moves down into the trash

bucket, compresses the trash and then returns to the UP position and shots off automatically.

Note: The ram travels about 2/3 of the way down into the trash bucket. Because of this, the trash bucket must be at least 1/3 full before you will notice any compression.

VIKING FCU150 - Compacting - 1

VIKING FCU150 - Compacting - 2

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

Compacting Tips (cont.)

  • Place a couple of folded sheets of newspaper, or a large paper grocery bag on top of the load to be compacted when
    o Compacting large or several glass bottles or jars (or any items that might shatter). This will help prevent glass fragments and particles from flying out of bucket into mechanism.
    o Compacting unwrapped messy food waste. This will help keep the power sum class.
  • Compacting extreme uneven loads may cause the trash bucket to shift forward which may cause the door to open and interrupt the compaction cycle. Gently push and hold door closed to activate the ram until it returns to the up position. Open the trash bucket and reposition any objects that may be causing the uneven load. Re-activate the compaction cycle by prassing the "START" button and closing the door.
  • There are certain types of trash that create exceptionally strong odors such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, personal hygiene items, and disposable diapers. You may wish to not put such items into your compactor.
  • If the compactor will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during vacation, remove the bag to prevent a build-up of undesirable colors.

WARNING

DONOTcompact aerosol cans or any other containers still holding or which held toxic chemicals, insecticides, or combustible contents. Fumes may be released that are hazardous to health or may result in fire or explosion.

WARNING

DONOT put paint, oily rags, lighter fluid cans, paint thinner cans, etc., in your compactor. Doing so could result in spontaneous combustion causing a fire and/or explosion.

CAUTION

NEVERpush trash into the bucket with hands or feet. Trash might contain broken glass, sharp pieces of metal, etc., which could cause injury.

Bag Removal

  1. Slide out trash bucket.
  2. Unbutton bag from bucket and close by twisting bag top. Faston with twist-tie provided.
  3. Lift door up and pull forward to unlatch trash bucket.
  4. Lift bag from bucket.
  5. Lift door and push toward compactor. Once door is vertical, lower it into position to latch door.

Cleaning

EXCEPT FOR CLEANING DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION, ALL SERVICE SHALL BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.

Your compactor has been designed with easy access for cleaning when required. The interior and exterior of the cabinet are finished with a durable baked-on enamel finish. DO NOT use harsh or gritty cleanser or scouring pads which may mar the finish of the compactor. Use a mild detergent solution on these surfaces.

CAUTION

Glass fragments and other sharp teeth pieces may be on or around the surfaces to be cleaned. Carefully remove these objects before wiping down any surfaces.

Removing Trash Bucket and Cleaning Interior

  1. Pull out trash bucket until it stops.
  2. Remove (1) screw from each of the bucket slides.
  3. Press down on left and right bucket slide release tabs while pulling the bucket out of the unit.
  4. Vacuum and clean cabinet base, track channels, and bucket, particularly in corners.

VIKING FCU150 - Removing Trash Bucket and Cleaning Interior - 1

  1. Press the compaction plate release tab on the front of the ram to disengage the plate. The plate can be removed by pulling down and away from the ram.

VIKING FCU150 - Removing Trash Bucket and Cleaning Interior - 2

  1. Once removed the compactor plate can be washed in a mild detergent solution or placed in a dishwasher.
  2. Re-install the compactor plate by inserting the tab (on the rear of the plate) into the slot (at in the rear of the ram). Press up on the front of the plate until it securely latches in place.
  3. Wash the cabinet interior with a mild detergent solution.
  4. When finished cleaning the cabinet, install the trash bucket by reversing steps 2 and 3.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, check these handy hints which may save you the cost of a service call:

  1. Is electric cord plugged in securely?
  2. Has a house fuse blown or a circuit breaker tripped?
  3. Is the door pushed firmly shut?
  4. Is the key switch in the "ON" position?
  5. Did you press the "START" button long enough to start the compaction cycle?
  6. If trash bucket is difficult to close, check to see if any trash has fallen behind the bucket, preventing it from closing completely.
  7. The motor has an automatic thermal cutout. If you have compacted repeatedly, this protector may have opened the circuit. Wait a few minutes and the cutout will reset automatically.
  8. The trash bucket must be at least 1/2 full of trash before any appreciable amount of compacting will be apparent, as the ram does not travel all the way to the bottom of the bucket. Trash in the bottom 1/3 of the bucket will be crushed during subsequent compacting.
  9. In the unlikely event that the interlock actuator (on the inside of the door) breaks off, the compactor will not operate. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE COMPACTOR IN ANY OTHER MANNER. A replacement actuator can be ordered from your Viking Distributor.

  10. To obtain service, provide the unit model number, serial number and nature of any defect in the product or part. The model number, serial number and all other data is shown on the model plate, which is located on the wall of the bag storage compartment. When requesting warranty service, evidence of the original purchase date must be presented. To obtain the name of the warranty service center serving your location, contact your Viking Distributor.
