Before removing units from pallet, remove/replace the side trim from each unit if needed, and install center trim brackets and convection heater. Make sure units are unplugged and powered off .Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-
Connector-Kit-FIG-9

Look closely at the trim already installed on the unit. If the trim resembles that in Trim A, it will need to be removed and replaced with Trim B. If the trim already resembles Trim B, leave as is.Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-

Preparing Units for Installation

  1. Fasten heater (Item #1) to the three mounting holes on top of the right hand unit using the #8-18 x 1/2” fasteners (Item #7) provided.Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-Connector-Kit-FIG-11

  2. Plug heater terminal into right hand unit using the plug located next to the unit on/off switch.Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-Connector-Kit-FIG-12
    WARNING TIP OVER HAZARD
    The appliance is top-heavy and tips easily when not completely installed. Keep doors closed until the appliance is completely installed and secured per installation instructions. Use two or more people to move and install appliances. Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

  3. Remove units from pallets and position them together outside of the cabinet so that top connecting plate (Item #4) can be installed. If installing on uneven surfaces, use unit leveling feet to adjust units so they are at the same height.

  4. Install the top connecting plate to the threaded mounting holes provided on the top of the cabinet using the 1/4”-20 x 3/4” (Item #6) fasteners. DO NOT install using a drill. Use a manual Allen wrench. (See Illustration A)

  5. Fasten the rear connecting plate (Item #5) to the threaded mounting holes provided on the rear of the unit using the 1/4”-20 x 3/4” (Item #6) fasteners. DO NOT install using a drill. Use a manual Allen wrench. (See Illustration B). Loosely attach the bracket allowing it to pivot. Tightening the screws will result in the bracket bending and causing misalignment of the rear of the units.
    Note: *If one or both units have (4) screw holes, attach using the top two holes. Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-Connector-Kit-

  6. If unit leveling feet were used, lower units back onto rollers. Plug-in electrical supply and roll connected units into cabinet cutout. Units must be plugged into separate electric outlets. Connect the water supply to each unit.Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-Connector-Kit-FIG-15

  7. Lift units to the desired height using a 5/16” socket and hand ratchet. DO NOT USE A DRILL-(refer to lift pattern diagram below to ensure that units are gradually lifted together.) IMPORTANT – Only make 4 turns at a time with the hand ratchet**. Attach units to cabinet side trim using fasteners included with the units. Install stainless magnetic side trim once fastened. (Use the installation guide included with individual units as a reference.)Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-Connector-Kit-FIG-16

  8. Remove plastic film from center trim before installing. Install center connecting trim (Item #3) in between the two units by pressing it in. The trim should be even with the top of the units. If needed, tap the connecting trim gently into place with a rubber mallet.Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-Connector-Kit-FIG-17

  9. Once the connection to the heater and the unit installation is complete, you will need to enable the heater which was plugged into the right hand unit.

Optional Custom Kickplate Installation
Remove screws fastening individual kickplates on units. Save screws to be used when installing a custom kickplate. Place custom kickplates across the bottom of both units and fasten using the mounting holes for the individual kickplates.Viking-CKVBI-Multi-Unit-Refrigeration-Connector-Kit-
