Verify the following:
•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).
•Rear wall is solid and is able to support two (2) horizontally mounted 2X4s (included) bolted to 2 wall studs. The 2X4 board bolt heads must be flush with 2X4 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
ordinances. A 115 volt,
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 pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.
Anti-Tip Requirements
The
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.
WARNI NG
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 reduction 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 you water.
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 Corporation is not responsible for property damage due to improper installation or water connection.
•Connect 1/4” (6mm) 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.
•Do not use the
•If saddle valve is not used, place a separate
•The installation of Viking units with a reverse osmosis system is acceptable as long as the water pressure remains within the allowable PSI as stated below. It is important to note that with many reverse osmosis systems, the pressure starts off high, but then it decreases as the water level of the reverse osmosis storage area drops. This must be considered when checking the water pressure coming into the unit.
•Connect a vertical or horizontal 1/2” (1.2 cm) to 1 1/4” (3.2 cm) COLD water line near water area.
•Run water line through the floor, back, or side wall. Tubing should lay flat on floor underneath the unit. Clamp tubing to wall or floor.
•Water pressure must be greater than 20 psi and less than 120 psi on
