No matter what the photo spreads in gourmet magazines
would like you to believe, the delight of cooking always begets the chore of cleaning up.
Even the most spectacular meal leaves a stack of dirty dishes in its wake. But Viking
kitchen cleanup products tackle these mundane tasks with style and ease.
The waste disposer devours any unsightly scraps and the trash compactor makes
quick work of kitchen litter – all while the heavy-duty washer silently scours. And now
the cleanup products are available in both the bold, commercial look of the Professional
Series and the striking curves of the Designer Series. It may be
a dirty job. But it doesn’t have to look that way. ®

Consistency in both performance and design should be a major consideration when building or remodeling a home. With the complete Viking indoor or
outdoor kitchen, every single product works together in form and function with the same level of excellence. It’s something Viking calls Design Integrity™.
Viking is the only company that offers complete ultra-premium kitchens – so Viking is also the only company that can offer truly consistent
design, while delivering the quality and performance that makes Viking the true market leader. Across all product categories, the knobs, handles,
bezels, curves, angles, and lines all match. This enables the designer to create a perfectly harmonious kitchen in one of three Viking product
offerings – Professional Indoor, Designer Indoor, or Professional Outdoor.
You wouldn’t install mismatched cabinets and drawers or countertops. Yet design differences are even more dramatic between multiple
appliance manufacturers. Traditional or contemporary. Stainless steel or color finishes. No matter the look you’re going for, no one can match
the Viking kitchen and Viking Design Integrity.
