WARNING

WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they sit out for "just a few hours".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
- Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To ensure your product performs to specifications, the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 100°F (13 to 38°C).

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed. All Professional models with articulated hinges are intended for built-in applications only.

VIKING FWUI5152G - Cabinet Clearance - 1

CAUTION

Front Grille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air flow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is important this area to not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. Viking Range, LLC does not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow may be restricted. (See Figure 2).

Front Grille, keep this area open. Front Leveling Legs Rear Leveling Legs

Figure 2

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your appliance may be adjusted higher (by turning the leveling leg out, CCW) and lower (by turning the leveling leg in, CW) dimensions as shown in Table "A".

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs. Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.

The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

WARNING

If your appliance is not located under a counter top (freestanding), you must use an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the appliance is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged with the anti-tip bracket when you push the appliance back into the original location. If the device is not properly engaged, there is a risk of the appliance tipping over, with the potential for property damage or personal injury.

NOTE

If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required, (not included with the anti-tip kit).

VIKING FWUI5152G - NOTE - 1

CAUTION

Any finished flooring should be protected with appropriate material to avoid damage when moving the unit.

Floor Mount Installation

The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the floor in the left or right rear corner of the wine cellar as shown in Figure 13.

Step by step instructions for locating the position of the bracket:

1) Decide where you want to place the appliance. Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor, leaving 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for the anti-tip bracket.
2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately/ ^4 (6 mm) to allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clockwise will lower the unit.
3) Make sure the appliance is in the desired location, then mark on the floor the rear and side corner of the cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then make temporary lines on the floor marking the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the appliance out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 21½" (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 14.
4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the floor so the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up with the end of the 21½" (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).
5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied screw. (See Figure 14).
6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engaging the slot.

NOTE

When the floor mounted anti-tip bracket is used the minimum adjusted height of the cabinet is increased by 38 " (9 mm).

Integrated door panel installation:

Your unit is equipped with articulated hinges to allow fully integrated built-in installations. Custom panel thicknesses of 5/8" (15 mm) and 3/4" (18 mm) are accommodated.

VIKING FWUI5152G - Integrated door panel installation: - 1

AUTION

It is important to use the factory provided grille that came with the product to assure proper air flow is maintained through the condenser. The use of a custom grille is not recommended and will void the warranty.

VIKING FWUI5152G - AUTION - 1

WARNING

Integrated panel models are designed for use with built-in installations only. Use in freestanding installations could result in personal injury.

Step 1: Removing the Door

Open the door and loosen the screws holding the hinges to the cabinet (2 at the top and 2 at the bottom hinge). Do not remove the screws but loosen them enough so the hinges can be slipped off of the screws when sliding the door to the side.

VIKING FWUI5152G - Step 1: Removing the Door - 1

WARNING

The articulated hinges have many pinch points. Carefully close / collapse the hinges as soon as the door is removed from the cabinet.

With a helper, and being careful not to scratch the cabinet or the door, slide the door to the side about 12 inch and remove the hinges and door from the unit.

VIKING FWUI5152G - WARNING - 1

WARNING

Use extreme caution with the articulated hinges. The hinge is self closing and many pinch points exist prior to built-in installation. Do not remove the cabinet "Z" bracket from the top of the cabinet.

Step 2: Remove the door gasket

With the door laying on a flat surface and starting at a corner of the door remove the magnetic door gasket from the interior side of the door, see Figure 21. Set the gasket aside on a flat surface.

There are 10 holes in the gasket retainer extrusions, (3 on each side and 2 at the top and bottom which are used to fasten the panel to the front of the door. The screws are provided in the literature pack along with the door lock, which is provided on certain models.

Loosen (do not remove ) these 2 phillips head screws on the top and bottom hinges Figure 19a Cabinet "Z" Bracket Figure 19 "P" clamp and screw Figure 19b Bottom of door Wire connector see Figure 6

Integrated panel flush with top and side of door. Integrated panel to be centered on width of door. Holes in gasket retainer. Figure 20a Magnetic Gasket remove starting at a corner, grasp and pull away from the door. Figure 20

Step 3: Cut and drill the integrated panel

Depending on your model cut the integrated door panel to the dimensions shown in Figures 15 to 18. The window cut out is for glass door models only. If your appliance has a lock also drill the lock hole in the panel, see Figure 21.

VIKING FWUI5152G - Step 3: Cut and drill the integrated panel - 1

CAUTION

Weight of integrated door panel must not exceed 15 pounds (6.8 kg) for a solid door model or 10 pounds (4.5 kg) for a glass door model.

Material Type #10 Wood Screw
Hardwood 12'' (3.2 mm) Diameter. Pilot Hole
Softwood 14'' (2.8 mm) Diameter. Pilot Hole

Table A

Step 4: Assemble the panel to the door

The preferred method of attaching the panel to the door is to clamp the panel to the door so it cannot move while drilling the screw pilot holes. Use bar clamps or "C" clamps with pads on the clamping surfaces that will not mar the panel or the door. The custom integrated panel should be flush with the top of the door and centered along the width of the door. See Figure 20a. Drill holes through the gasket extrusion using the 10 holes as pilot holes. Use the drill size from the chart in Table "A", being careful not to drill through the front surface of the panel. If the integrated panel is thinner than 58 " (16 mm) thick shorter screws will have to be obtained. Fasten the panel to the door with the 10 screws provided in the literature pack. (See Figure 21a). Remove the clamps and replace the gasket in the gasket extrusion channels of the door. Some force may be required to seat the gasket into the channels. Be sure the gasket corners are seated properly.

CAUTION

In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call a qualified service technician immediately. It is possible that the loss of cooling capacity is a result of excessive frost build-up on the evaporator cooling coil. In this case, removing power to the unit will result in the melting of this excessive quantity of ice, which could generate melt water that exceeds the capacity of the defrost drain system and could result in water damage to your home. The end-user will be ultimately responsible for any water damage caused by prematurely turning the unit off without appropriately managing the excess water run-off.
