General Information
Water Supply Requirements
Use only 1/4” (6 mm) copper tubing or
water line. Do Not install copper tubing in
area where temperatures drop below
35° F (1.7° C). Be ore attaching copper
tubing to the unit, lush at least 2 quarts
(1.9 L) o water through the copper tubing
and into a bucket to remove any particles
in the water line.
• Viking Range Corporation is not
responsible or property damage due to
improper installation or water
connection.
• Conne t 1/4” (6 mm) flexible opper
tubing to household plumbing in
omplian e with lo al odes and
ordinan es.
• Length of opper tubing must rea h from
water supply onne tion to the unit
onne tion with an additional length to
fa ilitate moving the unit out of en losure
for leaning or servi e. Tubing should be
soft instead of rigid and ends should be
free of burrs.
• Copper tubing route must be above 35° F
(1.7° C) to prevent water line from freezing.
• Do not use plastic water lines rom the
household plumbing to the water inlet
valve connection on the re rigeration
unit.
• Do not use the sel -piercing eature o a
saddle valve. The hole made by the
pier ing lan e is too small for the water
flow rate required by the i e maker.
• If saddle valve is not used, pla e a
separate shut-off valve in an easily
a essible lo ation between water supply
and the unit. Do not lo ate shut-off valve
behind the unit.
• The installation of Viking units with a
reverse osmosis system is a eptable
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 off high, but then it de reases as the
water level of the reverse osmosis storage
area drops. This must be onsidered when
he king the water pressure oming into
the unit.
• Conne t a verti al or horizontal 1/2”
(1.2 m) to 1-1/4” (3.2 m) COLD water
line near water area.
• Run water line through the floor, ba k, or
side wall. Tubing should lay flat on floor
underneath the unit. Clamp tubing to wall
or floor.
• 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.
General Information
Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Unit an fit into residen e and an be
moved around orners and through
doorways.
• Floors an support unit’s weight plus food
weight (approximately 1200 pounds
[540 kg] per unit).
• Floors underneath refrigerator are level
with surrounding finished floor.
• Rear wall is solid and is able to support
two horizontally mounted 2 X 4s (in luded)
bolted to two wall studs. The 2 X 4 board
bolt heads must be flush with 2 X 4 to
prevent obstru tion.
• Remove anything atta hed to rear or side
walls that an obstru t unit installation.
• Cutout dimensions are a urate.
• Ele tri al outlet is in orre t lo ation.
• Water line is in orre t lo ation.
• Do not install a refrigeration unit near a
heat sour e, nor in a lo ation where the
surrounding temperature will fall below
60º F (16º C).
Ele tri al Requirements
It is the ustomer’s responsibility to:
• onta t a qualified ele tri al installer.
• assure that the ele tri al installation is
adequate and in onforman e with the
National Ele tri al Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-
latest edition or Canadian Ele tri al Code
C22.1-1998 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (or
latest edition), and all lo al odes and
ordinan es. A 115 volt, 60-Hz, 15 amp,
fused, ele tri al supply is required.
It is required that a separate ir uit serving
only this applian e be provided. This
applian e is equipped with a power supply
ord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible sho k hazard, the ord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong,
grounding-type wall re epta le.
Do not use an extension cord.
If odes permit a separate grounding wire to
be used, it is re ommended that a qualified
ele tri ian determine that the grounding
path is adequate.
DO NOT ground to a gas pipe. Che k with
a qualified ele tri ian if you are not sure the
applian e is properly grounded. DO NOT
have a fuse in the neutral or grounding
ir uit.
Anti-Tip Requirements
The anti-tip boards should be fastened into
position prior to moving the unit into the
opening.
Note: Additional mounting boards may be
required if the unit does not touch the back
wall of the enclosure To prevent unit from
tipping forward, it must be secured in place
with a solid soffit or wood block
WARNING
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use unit
where water is mi robiologi ally unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfe tion
before or after the system. Systems ertified for yst
redu tion may be used on disinfe ted water that
may ontain filterable ysts. The ontaminants or
other substan es removed or redu ed by this water
treatment system are not ne essarily in you water.
