• Unit can fit into residence and can be moved
around corners and through doorways.
• Floors can support unit’s weight plus food weight
(approximately 1200 pounds [540 kg] per unit).
• Floors underneath refrigerator are level with
surrounding finished floor.
• Rear wall is solid and is able to support two
horizontally mounted 2 x 4s (included) bolted to
two wall studs. The 2 x 4 board bolt heads must
be flush with 2 x 4 to prevent obstruction.
• Remove anything attached to rear or side walls
that can obstruct unit installation.
• Cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Electrical outlet is in correct location.
• Water line is in correct location.
• DO NOT install a refrigeration unit near a heat
source, nor in a location where the surrounding
temperature will fall below 60º F (16º C).
Electrical Requirements
It is the customer’s responsibility to:
• Contact a qualified electrical installer.
• Assure that the electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or Canadian
Electrical Code C22.1-1998 and C22.2 No. 0-M91
(or latest edition), and all local codes and
ordinances.
A 115 volt, 60-Hz, 15 amp, fused, electrical
supply is required. It is required that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
This appliance is equipped with a power supply
cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must
be plugged into a mating 3-prong, grounding-
type wall receptacle. DO NOT use an
extension cord.
If codes permit a separate grounding wire
to be used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the grounding path
is adequate.
DO NOT ground to a gas line. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are not sure if the
appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT
have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.
Anti-Tip Requirements
The anti-tip boards should be fastened
into position prior to moving the unit into
the opening.
Note: Additional mounting boards may
be required if the unit does not touch
the back wall of the enclosure. To
prevent unit from tipping forward, it
must be secured in place with a solid
soffit or wood block.
Water Supply Requirements
Use only 1/4” (6 mm) copper tubing for water
line. DO NOT install copper tubing in area where
temperatures drop below 35˚ F (1.7˚ C). Before
attaching copper tubing to the unit, flush at
least 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water through the
copper tubing and into a bucket to remove any
particles in the water line.
• Viking Range, LLC is not responsible for
property damage due to improper installation
or water connection.
• Connect 1/4” (6 mm) flexible copper tubing to
household plumbing in compliance with local
codes and ordinances.
• Length of copper tubing must reach from water
supply connection to the unit connection with an
additional length to facilitate moving the unit out
of enclosure for cleaning or service. Tubing should
be soft instead of rigid and ends should be free of
burrs.
• Copper tubing route must be above 35˚ F (1.7˚ C)
to prevent water line from freezing.
• DO NOT use plastic water lines from the
household plumbing to the water inlet valve
connection on the refrigeration unit.
To avoid serious illness or death, DO NOT use
unit where water is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality, without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Systems certified for
cyst eeduction may be used on disinfected water
that may contain filterable cysts. The
contaminants or other substances removed or
reduced by this water treatment system are not
necessarily in your water.
