IMPORTANT–Please Read and Follow!

A GFI

shall be used if required by NFPA-70 (National Electric Code), federal/state/local laws, or

local ordinances.

• The required use of a GFI is normally related to the location of a receptacle with respect to
any significant sources of water or moisture.

• Viking Range, LLC will NOT warranty any problems resulting from GFI outlets which are not
installed properly or do not meet the requirements below.

If the use of a GFI is required

, it should be:

• Of the receptacle type (breaker type or portable type NOT recommended)

• Used with permanent wiring only (temporary or portable wiring NOT recommended)

• On a dedicated circuit (no other receptacles, switches or loads in the circuit)

• Connected to a standard breaker of appropriate size (GFI breaker of the same size NOT
recommended)

• Rated for Class A (5 mA +/- 1 mA trip current) as per UL 943 standard)

• In good condition and free from any loose-fitting gaskets (if applicable in outdoor situations)

• Protected from moisture (water, steam, high humidity) as much as reasonably possible.

DANGER

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeration Unit:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration units are still dangerous—even if they
will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of
your old refrigeration unit, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.

IMPORTANT: Now that you have a new refrigeration
unit, it is extremely important that you dispose of
your old appliance in a way that minimizes the
possibility that children will find it. There have been
many cases in years past of children crawling inside
junked and abandoned refrigeration units and
becoming trapped or suffocated.

Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to
find out the best and safest way to dispose of your old
refrigeration unit.
