Viking F20875 EN manual Using the Controls, Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer

Getting Started

Proper Disposal (of old refrigerator)

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT:

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous—even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help avoid accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

•Take off the doors.

•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Using the Controls

The refrigerator and freezer controls are located on the dispenser panel.

IMPORTANT:

The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn OFF automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen, without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

Adjusting the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the “mid-settings.” The factory recommended set points are 38°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

•Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

•NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

•If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
