Frequently Asked Questions - VFI7300WLWH VIKING

How to assemble two Viking refrigerators side by side?

Use the provided assembly kit including connecting plates, center rod, and heater. Follow the preparation steps: remove the side rods from the sides to be joined, install the center rod brackets, attach the heater to the right unit, then plug it in. Next, position the units, attach the connecting plates at the top and back, connect the power, slide the assembly into the opening, adjust the leveling legs, secure the anti-tip bracket, and insert the center rod.

What are the required framing dimensions for a VFI7300WLWH refrigerator?

The framing height must be between 213.4 cm and 216.3 cm, the depth is 63.5 cm. The width depends on the number of units installed. For a single unit, refer to the individual installation guide provided with the appliance.

How to install the connecting heater?

Attach the heater (item #1) to the three holes on top of the right unit using 8-18 x 1/2 in fasteners (item #7). Then plug the heater into the outlet next to the on/off switch of the right unit.

How to activate the heater after installation?

On the control panel of the right unit, simultaneously press the VAC and UP arrow buttons for 5 seconds. An alarm beep confirms activation. Note that the panel may vary by model.

How to attach the rear connecting plate?

Attach the rear connecting plate (item #5) to the threaded holes behind the units with 1/4 in-20 x 3/4 in fasteners (item #6). Do not use a drill; use a manual Allen key. Loosely attach the bracket by pivoting it to avoid misalignment.

How many people are needed for installation?

Two or more people are required to install and move the appliance due to weight and tipping risk. Keep the doors closed until fully secured.

What tools are needed for assembly?

You will need a drill, 3 in drill bits, Phillips (PH2) bits, Torx (T15 and T20) bits, 1/4 in and 5/16 in hex sockets, a 3/8 in wrench, a 1/8 in Allen key, and a rubber mallet.

How to adjust the height of the refrigerators during installation?

Use the leveling legs located under each unit. Rotate the legs using a manual ratchet, performing only 4 turns at a time to ensure uniform lifting. Make sure the units are level with each other.

Where to connect the power supply of the refrigerators?

Each unit must be plugged into a separate electrical outlet, 115 V, 60 Hz. The outlets should be located in the opening as shown on the cutout dimension diagram.

How to remove the side rods to assemble two units?

Remove the rods from the unit edges on the sides that will be in contact (rod A). Leave the rods on the sides that contact the opening. Keep the removed screws to secure the center rod in the next step.

For muti-unit installation, add the width of the units together for cabinet cutout width.
For example: 18'' + 24'' + 24'' = 66'' W.

Anti-tip Location

Anti-tip Bracket

The anti-tip bracket has several holes set up on a grid in order to better locate a wall stud. At least 4 places must be used. Anti-tip Bracket must be centered in cutout - side to side.

NOTE: Number and type of fasteners must be suitable in order to prevent tipping. For example: use wood screws into wall studs or masonry anchors if attaching to stone, brick or concrete.

If a wall stud can not be found or when installing the 18" model, use the lower section of the bracket and mount to the base board

Dimension A = Cabinet opening minus the refrigerator height + 1-1/4" (3.2 cm)

Ex. - Cabinet opening height - 85"

Minimum refrigerator height (sitting on rollers) - 83 15/16"

$$ A = 8 5 ^ {\prime \prime} - 8 3 - 1 5 / 1 6 ^ {\prime \prime} + 1 - 1 / 4 ^ {\prime \prime} = 2 - 5 / 1 6 ^ {\prime \prime} $$

Preparing Units for Installation

Before removing units from pallet, remove the side trim from each unit, install center trim brackets and connection heater (steps 1 thru 4). Make sure units are unplugged and powered off.

Two simple rectangular panels with vertical supports, labeled 'A', no text or symbols present.

Look closely at the trim already installed on the unit. If the trim resembles that in Trim A, it will need to be removed and replaced with Trim B. If the trim already resembles Trim B, leave as is.

Preparing Units for Installation

1. Fasten heater (Item #1) to the three mounting holes on top of the right hand unit using the #8-18 x 1/2" fasteners (Item #7) provided.

WARNING

TIP OVER HAZARD

Appliance is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed. Keep doors closed until appliance is completely installed and secured per installation instructions.

Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

1. Remove units from pallets and position together outside of the cabinet so that top connecting plate (Item #4) can be installed. If installing on uneven surfaces, use unit leveling feet to adjust units to that they are at the same height.

1. Install top connecting plate to the threaded mounting holes provided on the top of the cabinet using the 1/4"-20 x 3/4" (Item #6) fasteners. DO NOT install using a drill. Use manual allen wrench. (See Illustration A)

1. Fasten rear connecting plate (Item #5) to the threaded mounting holes provided on the rear of the unit using the 1/4"-20 x 3/4" (Item #6) fasteners. DO NOT install using a drill. Use manual allen wrench. (See Illustration B). Loosely attach the bracket allowing it to pivot. Tightening the screws will result in the bracket bending and causing misalignment of the rear of the units.

Note: *If one or both units have (4) screw holes, attach using the top two holes.

Installation

1. If unit leveling feet were used, lower units back onto rollers. Plug in electrical supply and roll connected units into cabinet cutout. Units must be plugged into separate electric outlets. Connect water supply to each unit.

1. Lift units to desired height using 5/16" socket and hand ratchet. DO NOT USE A DRILL-(refer to lift pattern diagram below to ensure that units are gradually lifted together.) **IMPORTANT** - Only make 4 turns at a time with the hand ratchet**. Attach units to cabinet side trim and fasteners included with the units. Install stainless magnetic side trim once fastened. (Use installation guide included with individual units as a reference.)

Installation

1. Remove plastic film from center trim before installing. Install center connecting trim (Item #3) in between the two units by pressing it in. Trim should be even with the top of the units. If needed, tap connecting trim gently into place with rubber mallet.
