Electrical RequirementsIMPORTANT–Please Read and Follow!
Most of the unit’s weight is at the top. Extra care is needed when moving the unit to
prevent tipping. Use cardboard shipping material or plywood under unit until it is
installed in the operating position to protect floor surface.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT::
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
• It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other
heat source.
• Installer: Leave Installation Instructions with the homeowner.
• Homeowner: Keep Installation Instructions for future reference. Save these Installation
Instructions for the local electrical inspector’s use.
• Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
• Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and
contents of the refrigerator. Floors underneath refrigerator are level with surrounding finished
floor.
• Cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius.
• Location should permit door to open fully.
• Location must permit top grille removal.

•
Plug into a grounded 3prong plug.
•
Do not remove grounding
plug.
•
Do not use an adapter.
•
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to followthese instructions can

A grounded 3-prong electrical outlet should
be placed within 10” (25.4cm) of the right
side cabinets or end panel with a 115 volt,
60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused,
grounded electrical supply. It is
ecommended that a separate circuit serving
only your refrigerator be provided. Use an
outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.
Do not use an extension cord.
It is the customer’s responsibility to:
• Contact a qualified electrical installer.
• Assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70latest edition or Canadian Electrical Code
C22.1-1998 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (or
latest edition), and all local codes and
ordinances. A 115 volt, 60-Hz, 15 amp,
fused, electrical supply is required.
If codes permit a separate grounding wire to
be used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the grounding
path is adequate.

To avoid serious illness or death, do not use unit
where water is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Systems certified for
cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water
that may contain filterable cysts. The contaminants
or other substances removed or reduced by this

Use only 1/4” (6 mm) copper tubing for water
line. Do Not install copper tubing in area
where temperatures drop below
35˚ F (1.7˚ C).
• Viking Range, LLC is not responsible for
property damage due to improper
installation or water connection.
• Length of copper tubing must reach from
water supply connection to the unit
connection with an additional length to
facilitate moving the unit out of enclosure for
cleaning or service. Tubing should be soft
instead of rigid and ends should be free of
burrs.
• If additional tubing is needed, use copper
tubing and check for leaks. Install the copper
tubing only in areas where the household
temperatures will remain above freezing.
• Do not use plastic water lines from the
household plumbing to the water inlet
valve connection on the refrigeration unit.
• Do not use the self-piercing feature of a
saddle valve. The hole made by the piercing
lance is too small for the water flow rate
required by the ice maker.
• The water shutoff should be located in the
base cabinet on either side of the
refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. The right-hand side is recommended.
The access hole through the cabinet must
be within ¹⁄" (12.7 mm) of the rear wall.
NNOOTTEE
back wall behind the refrigerator, it must be
at an angle so that the tube is not kinked
when the refrigerator is pushed into its final
location.
• If the water shutoff valve is not in the
cabinets, the plumbing for the water line
can come through the floor. A ¹⁄" (12.7
mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at
least 6" (15.2 cm) fromthe right or left
hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor,
the hole should be no more than 1" (2.54
cm) away from the back wall. See
“Connect the Water Supply”.

A cold water supply with water pressure
between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is
required to operate the water dispenser and
ice maker. If you have questions about your
water pressure, call a licensed, qualified
plumber.

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water
supply coming out of a reverse osmosis
system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the
water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60
psi (276 to 414 kPa). If the water pressure to
the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in
the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse
osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter
cartridge, it may further reduce the water
pressure when used in conjunction with a
reverse osmosis system. Remove the water
filter cartridge. If you have questions about
your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
