WARNING
WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not
easily climb inside.
!
WARNING
WARNING - Dispose of the plastic bags which can
be a suffocation hazard.
!

CAUTION
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
ensure your product performs to specifi cations, the recom-
mended installation location temperature range is from 55
to 100°F (13 to 38°C).
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appli-
ance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the appliance as long as the front grille remains unob-
structed. All Professional models with articulated hinges are
intended for built-in applications only.
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille allow air to fl ow through the condenser heat ex-
changer. Restrictions to this air fl ow will result in increased
energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason
it is important this area to not be obstructed and the grille
openings kept clean. Viking Range, LLC does not recom-
mend the use of a custom made grille as air fl ow may be
restricted. (See Figure 2).
INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

Legs
Front Grille,
keep this area
open.
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appli-
ance should be set so the unit is fi rmly positioned on the
fl oor and level from side to side and front to back. The
overall height of your appliance may be adjusted higher (by
turning the leveling leg out, CCW) and lower (by turning the
leveling leg in, CW) dimensions as shown in Table "A".
To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid
surface and protect the fl oor beneath the legs to avoid
scratching the fl oor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs.
Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning
the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appli-
ance forward using caution. On a level surface check the
appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille ad-
justed to the desired height. When adjustment is complete
tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

WARNING
Front grille
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-
sance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down.
GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equip-
ment that must run unattended for long periods of time, un-
less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.
Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo-
cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 6). If the circuit does
not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power
supply. The third ground prong should not, under any cir-
cumstances, be cut or removed.

1) Decide where you want to place the beverage center.
Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor,
leaving 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow
room for the anti-tip bracket.
2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately
1
⁄4" (6 mm) to
allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit by
adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the
leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clock-
wise will lower the unit.
3) Make sure the beverage center is in the desired loca-
tion, then mark on the floor the rear and side corner of the
cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the
installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the
cabinet, then make temporary lines on the floor marking the
front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the
beverage center out of the way. From the temporary line
extend the sidewall line back 21
1
⁄2" (54.6 cm) as shown in
Figure 8.
4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the floor so the
side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet
mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up
with the end of the 21
1
⁄2" (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet
line).
5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied
screw. (See Figure 8).
6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear
cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engag-
ing the slot.

If necessary, to gain clearance inside the rough-in
opening, a hole can be cut through the adjacent
cabinet and the power cord routed through this hole to
a power outlet. Another way to increase the available
opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the
rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug.
Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this
application as they are too narrow, but a recessed
outlet box equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W us
recommended for this application.

CAUTION
Integrated door panel installation:
Step 1: Removing the Door
Open the door and loosen the screws holding the hinges to
the cabinet (2 at the top and 2 at the bottom hinge). Do not
remove the screws but loosen them enough so the hinges
can be slipped off of the screws when sliding the door to
the side.
With a helper, and being careful not to scratch the cabinet
or the door, slide the door to the side about
1
⁄2 inch and
remove the hinges and door from the unit.
!
WARNING
Integrated panel models are designed for use with
built-in installations only. Use in freestanding instal-
lations could result in personal injury.
If you purchased an integrated panel model, your unit is
equipped with articulated hinges to allow fully integrated
built-in installations. Custom panel thicknesses of
5
⁄8" (15
mm) and
3
⁄4" (18 mm) are accommodated.
It is important to use the factory provided grille that came
with the product to assure proper air flow is maintained
through the condenser. The use of a custom grille is not
recommended and will void the warranty.
!
WARNING
The articulated hinges have many pinch points. Care-
fully close / collapse the hinges as soon as the door is
removed from the cabinet.

Step 4: Assemble the panel to the door
The preferred method of attaching the panel to the door
is to clamp the panel to the door so it cannot move while
drilling the screw pilot holes. Use bar clamps or "C" clamps
with pads on the clamping surfaces that will not mar the
panel or the door. The custom integrated panel should be
flush with the top of the door and centered along the width
of the door. Drill holes through the gasket extrusion using
the 10 holes as pilot holes. Use the drill size from the
chart in Table "A", being careful not to drill through the
front surface of the panel. If the integrated panel is thinner
than
5
⁄8" (16 mm) thick shorter screws will have to be
obtained. Fasten the panel to the door with the 10 screws
provided in the literature pack. (See Figure 21a). Remove
the clamps and replace the gasket in the gasket extrusion
channels of the door. Some force may be
required to seat the gasket into the channels. Be sure the
gasket corners are seated properly.

CAUTION
Front Grille
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air fl ow open-
ings in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year,
brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area (see
page 4).
SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect electrical power from the
appliance before cleaning with soap and water.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with either a mild soap
and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER
use abrasive scouring cleaners.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do
NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or
undiluted detergent.
Care of Appliance
1. Avoid leaning on the door, you may bend the door
hinges or tip the appliance.
2. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming or mop-
ping near the front of the appliance. Damage to the
grille can occur.
3. Periodically clean the interior of the appliance as
needed.
4. Periodically check and/or clean the front grille as
needed.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as pos-
sible. Minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off so as not to adversely affect the appliance's
temperature.
Light assembly replacement
All models use an LED to illuminate the interior of the ap-
pliance. This component is very reliable, but should it fail,
contact a qualifi ed service technician for replacement of the
LED.
The following suggestions will minimize the
cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance
(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other
heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be-
neath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow
ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever
large quantities of warm contents are placed within
refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door
openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull
down to compartment set temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will
require less appliance run time than an empty compart-
ment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents
stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac-
ing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature
that meets your personal preference and provides the
proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem-
perature for the stored contents.
12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the
appliance requires the door to be open for an extended
period of time.
13. For wine storage products:
When serving temperatures are not required,
return the compartment(s) set temperature to the
ideal red and white wine long term storage tem-
perature of 13°C / 55°F.

CAUTION
In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not
unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call
a qualifi ed service technician immediately. It is possible
that the loss of cooling capacity is a result of excessive
frost build-up on the evaporator cooling coil. In this case,
removing power to the unit will result in the melting of this
excessive quantity of ice, which could generate melt water
that exceeds the capacity of the defrost drain system and
could result in water damage to your home. The end-user
will be ultimately responsible for any water damage caused
by prematurely turning the unit off without appropriately
managing the excess water run-off.
