1. Disable specific alert beeps

For each alert (open door, temperature), simply press the lock control (button with the padlock symbol). This disables the sound tone for that event.

Question 3

How to change the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius on the VIKING VBUI5150GLSS refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

To change the temperature display from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) on your VIKING VBUI5150GLSS beverage cooler, follow these steps:

Press and hold simultaneously the - and + buttons on the control panel.
While keeping the + button pressed, release the - button.
The temperature display will automatically switch to the opposite unit: Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice versa.

This operation is instantaneous and does not affect the existing temperature settings. Your beverage cooler will continue to operate with the previously set temperature, only the display mode changes.

To revert to Fahrenheit display if you switched to Celsius, repeat the exact same procedure (press - and + simultaneously, then release - alone). You can switch from one format to the other as many times as needed according to your preferences or the local standard in your area.

Note: The temperature range of your appliance is from 1°C to 5.5°C (34°F to 42°F), ideal for storing beverages and wines. The factory default display is set to Fahrenheit, but this conversion allows you to adjust the display according to your habits.
