General Information
• DO NOT use plastic water lines from
the household plumbing to the water
inlet valve connection on the
refrigeration unit.
• DO NOT use the self-piercing feature of
a saddle valve. The hole made by the
piercing lance is too small for the water
ow rate required by the ice maker.
• If saddle valve is not used, place a
separate shut-o valve in an easily
accessible location between water supply
and the unit. DO NOT install shut-o valve
behind the unit.
• The installation of Viking Range 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 o 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”
(1.3 cm) to 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) COLD water
line near water area.
• Run water line through the oor, back,
or side wall. Tubing should lay at on oor
underneath the unit. Clamp tubing to wall
or oor.
• Water pressure must be greater than
20 psi and less than 120 psi on non-
dispensers and greater than 35 psi and
less than 120 psi on dispensers.
WARNING
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 certifi ed for cyst reduction may be
used on disinfected water that may contain
fi lterable cysts. The contaminants or other
substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment system are not necessarily
in your 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 35º
F (1.7º C). Before attaching copper tubing to
the unit, ush 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) exible 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 35º F
(1.7º C) to prevent water line from freezing.
