EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD Use two or more people to move product. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

Remove Interior Packaging
Your appliance has been packed for shipment with all parts that could be damaged by movement securely fastened. Remove internal packing materials and any tape holding internal components in place. The owners manual is shipped inside the product in a plastic bag along with the warranty registration card, and other accessory items.

Important
Keep your carton and packaging until your appliance has been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condition. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed as proof of damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose of all items responsibly.

WARNING – Dispose of the plastic bags which can be a suffocation hazard

Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our plant. Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the retailer upon acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must be made to the retailer.

NOTE
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE MANUFACTURER – FILE THE CLAIM WITH THE RETAILER.

CAUTION
If the appliance was shipped, handled, or stored in other than an upright position for any period of time, allow the appliance to sit upright for a period of at least 24 hours before plugging in. This will assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging the appliance in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

Warranty Registration
It is important you send in your warranty registration card immediately after taking delivery of your appliance or you can register online at www.vikingrange.com.

The following information will be required when registering your appliance. Service Number Serial Number Date of PurchaseDealer’s name and address  The service number and serial number can be found on theserial plate which is located inside the cabinet on the left side near the top

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

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

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 recommended 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 appliance. 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 unobstructed. All Professional models with articulated hinges are intended for built-in applications only.

Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within thefront grille allow air to fl ow through the condenser heat exchanger. 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 recommend the use of a custom made grille as air fl ow may be restricted.

Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is fi rmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 33 3⁄4″ (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in and the maximum, 34 3/4″ (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out. To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. 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 appliance 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 adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws.

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. They can be hazardous and can degrade product performance.
• This appliance should not, under any circumstances, be installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.
• Do not remove the grounding prong from the power cord. (See Figure 3).
• Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 4).
• Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death

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 accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local 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 circumstances, be cut or removed

NOTE
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time, unless required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

• Depth dimension of rough-in opening may vary depending on each individual installation. To recess entire door “F” dimension plus 1″ (2.5 cm) for thickness of power cord plug is required.
• Minimum rough-in opening required is to be larger than the adjusted height of the cabinet

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 is recommendedfor this application

CARE AND CLEANING AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Front Grille
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area

CAUTION

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 mopping 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 possible. 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 appliance. 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 beneath 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 compartment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing 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 periods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable temperature 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 temperature of 13°C / 55°F.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before You Call for Service
If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through this manual fi rst. If the problem persists, check the troubleshooting guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before callingfor service. The problem may be something very simple that can be solved without a service call. However, it may be required to contact your dealer or a qualifi ed service technician

WARNING

• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the appliance until the main electrical power has been disconnected. Turning the appliance control “OFF” does not remove electrical power from the units wiring.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

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 appropriatelymanaging the excess water run-off.
