Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Unit can fit into residence and can be
moved around corners and through
doorways.
• Floors can support unit’s weight plus wine
weight (approximately 1200 lbs total).
• Rear wall is solid and is able to support
two horizontally mounted 50x100 mm
(included) bolted to two wall studs. The
50x100 mm board bolt heads must be
flush with 50x100 mm to prevent
obstruction.
• Remove anything attached to rear or side
walls that can obstruct unit installation.
• Cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Electrical outlet is in correct location.
• Do not install a refrigeration unit near a
heat source, nor in a location where the

60º F.
Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by a Viking qualified
technician or a Viking Range Corporation
representative in order to avoid hazard.
It is the customer’s responsibility to:
• Contact a qualified electrical installer.
• Assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with all
local codes and ordinances. (127 volt, 60-
Hz, 15 amp, fused, electrical supply is
required.) It is required that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be
provided. This appliance is equipped with
a power supply cord having a 3-prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible
shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating 3-prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle. Do not use an extension cord.
If codes permit a separate grounding wire to
be used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the grounding
path is adequate.
DO NOT ground to a gas pipe. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are not sure the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit.
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.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
DO NOT remove ground plug.
DO NOT use an adapter.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in fire or electrical shock.
