DANGER
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer: 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 refrigerators are still dangerous... even if they will sit for just a few days.

Getting Started

Important Safety Instructions

Install and level your refrigerator on a floor that will hold its weight, plus food weight (approximately 1200 pounds [540kg]) and in an area suitable for its size and use. Do not install a refrigeration unit near a heat source, nor in a location where the surrounding temperature will fall below 60 F (16 C). Do not allow your refrigerator to be exposed to the weather or outdoor elements. Connect your refrigerator only to the appropriate kind of electrical outlet, with the correct power supply and grounding. (Refer to the Electrical Requirements section of the Installation Instructions.) Use the refrigerator only for the uses described in this manual. Properly maintain the refrigerator. Be sure the refrigerator is not used by anyone unable to operate it properly.

Proper Disposal
IMPORTANT:

Getting Started

(of old refrigerator)

Now that you have a new refrigerator, 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 refigerators and becoming trapped or suffocated. Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out the best and safest way to dispose of your old refrigerator.

Setting the Controls

Set controls precisely with a household thermometer that includes temperatures between -5 to 50 F (-21 to 10 C).

Product Controls

Checking the Temperature (freezer) Place the thermometer snugly between frozen packages in freezer section. Wait five to eight hours, then check the temperature. If the freezer temperature is not 0 to 2 F (-17 to -16 C), adjust the temperature control one number at a time. Then, check the temperature again in five to 8 hours. Checking the Temperature (refrigerator) Place the thermometer in a glass of water in the middle of the refrigerator. Wait five to eight hours, and then check the temperature. If the refrigerator temperature is not 38 to 40 F (3 to 4 C), adjust the control one number at a time. Check again after five to eight hours.

Your refrigerator's spillproof shelves are constructed of polypropylene molded around the glass and metal rail. This design means that the shelves are completely enclosed and liquids can't seep under the glass. This localizes spills and makes clean-up easier. Spillproof shelves also adjust to meet individual storage needs. NOTE: Foods and beverages placed on the uppermost shelf under the air vent may freeze.

Shelf Adjustment
You can adjust the shelves to match the way you use your refrigerator. To remove the shelves, tilt the shelf up at the front releasing the hooks from the shelf support, then pull the shelf straight out. To replace shelves, guide the rear hooks of the shelf into the slots in the shelf supports. Then, tilt the shelf up at the front until the hooks drop into the slots, and lower the front of shelf to level position. Operation

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury and property damage, confirm shelf is secure before placing items on shelf.

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

When to Change the Water Filter

Your water filter provides a cleaner ice and water supply by filtering bad tastes, odors, sediment and harmful contaminants. To ensure proper filtration, the water filter cartridge should be changed every nine months or after 750 gallons of water are used, whichever comes first. IMPORTANT: The condition of water and amount used determines the life span of your water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, you may have to replace the cartridge more frequently.

Operation

Food Storage Guide

Storing Fresh Food
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moistureproof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer. For dated products, check use-by date to ensure freshness. To store leafy vegetables, remove store wrapping. Then tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash the vegetables in cold water and drain, and then place them in a plastic bag or plastic container and store in your produce drawer. For vegetables with skins, such as carrots and peppers, store in plastic bags or containers. When refrigerating or freezing fruit, wash the fruit and then let it dry. Store the fruit in plastic bags. Don't wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Instead, sort and keep berries in their original container in the produce drawer, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on the refrigerator shelf. Store eggs without washing them. Keep eggs in their original carton or in your refrigerator's egg bin. Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on an interior shelf. Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing butter in the freezer, wrap it in freezer packaging. Operation When you have leftovers, cover then with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or store the leftovers in plastic containers with tight lids. Store meat in its original wrapping, as long as it's airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap meat if necessary. NOTE: When storing meat longer than the recommended times, freeze the meat. The Meat Savor/PRODUCE Drawer is ideal for longer term meat storage because the temperature can be set 3 to 5 colder. Recommended Chicken Ground Beef Steaks/Roasts Cured Meats storage times: 1-2 days Bacon 1-2 days Cold Cuts 3-5 days Variety Meats 7-10 days 5-7 days 3-5 days 1-2 days

The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging; the way you close and seal a package of food must not allow air or moisture in or out, or the quality of the food will deteriorate while frozen. Packaging you should not use for freezing includes: Bread wrappers Non-polyethylene plastic containers Containers without lids Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap Thin, semi-permeable wrap Recommended packaging: Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids Straight-sided canning/freezing jars Heavy-duty aluminum foil Plastic-coated paper Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from saran film) Zip-top freezer bags Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Freezing Foods
Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze large quantities of food; do not load more than two to three pounds of unfrozen food per cubic foot within 24 hours. Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages, and be careful to leave enough room at the front so the freezer door can close tightly. A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one, and a freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it. Storage times will vary according to the quality of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moistureproof), and the storage temperature, which should be 0 to 2 F (-18 to -17 C).

NOTE: Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day as purchased.

Glass Shelves
To clean your refrigerator's glass shelves, lift the shelf out by lifting the front and releasing the hooks from the metal track. Then pull the shelf out. Be sure to allow the glass shelves to adjust to room temperature before cleaning. To clean crevices, dilute mild detergent with water. Brush this solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let set for five minutes. Spray warm water into crevices using faucet spray attachment. Dry glass shelf thoroughly and replace shelf by inserting hooks into metal track and lowering front.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Defrost Pan
To prevent condensation from overflowing, check defrost pan periodically. To check defrost pan, remove two screws securing kickplate to unit. Pull defrost pan forward until it stops. Remove any excess water from pan. Wipe and clean defrost pan with a sponge. Return defrost pan to original position. Return kickplate to unit by securing with two screws.

Door Stop Adjustment

Your refrigerator is factory set at 110 door stop position. To change to either the 90 or 120 position, remove the door stop pin located in the bottom hinge using a 3/16 allen wrench. For 120 swing, move the pin to stop hole closest to the unit. For 90 swing, move pin to stop hole farthest from the unit. Door Stop Pin

Door Gaskets
Clean the door gaskets every three months using the same procedures used for interior surfaces. You should apply a light film of petroleum jelly to keep gaskets pliable.

Saving Energy
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity with these simple tips: Open the door as few times as possible. Think about what you need before you open the door. Get everything out at one time. Keep food organized so you will not have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed. Do not overcrowd the unit so air movement is blocked. Do not set the unit to temperature colder than necessary.

Troubleshooting
Understanding Sounds You May Hear
Your new refrigerator may make different sounds than your old one. Hard surfaces, such as the ceilings, walls, and cabinets around the unit can make these sounds seem louder. However, these sounds are normal and will soon become familiar; they indicate that your refrigerator is working properly. Here are some of the noises you may hear and what they are: Freezer or refrigerator fresh food fan: sounds like air rushing or whirling Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger) refrigerant flow: sounds like gurgles, pops or boiling water Defrost heater: sizzles, hisses or pops Condenser fan: air rushes and whirls Compressor: has a high pitched hum or pulsating sound Ice maker valve hookup: buzzes when ice maker fills with water. This occurs whether or not the unit is connected to water supply. If the unit is not connected to water supply, stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off position.

Vacation Tip
When you will be gone from home a short time (less than four weeks), there is no need to shut off your refrigerator. However, be sure to: Use any perishables. Freeze other items. Raise the signal arm in the automatic ice maker to the off (up) position and shut off water supply to the ice maker. If you will be away from home for a month or more, follow these guidelines: Remove all food. Turn the power disconnect switch to the off position. Clean the unit and door gaskets according to the Cleaning and Maintenance section on page 33. Prop doors open with rubber or wood blocks so air can circulate inside. This will keep odor and mold from building up. Raise the signal arm in the automatic ice maker to the off (up) position and shut off water supply to the ice maker.

Power Interruptions
If electric service to your refrigerator will be interrupted for 24 hours or less, keep the doors to the freezer closed. This helps food stay frozen. If service will be interrupted longer than 24 hours, remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker, or place two pounds of dry ice inside the freezer for every cubic foot of interior volume. This will keep food frozen for two to four days. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns. If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, you should use or can your perishable food at once.

Troubleshooting
Most performance problems you might encounter with your Viking referigerator will be minor and you should be able to fix them yourself without tools. Listed in these charts are the most common problems consumers run into with their appliances. Please read through this and see if it can solve your problem before calling for service.

Troubleshooting
Common Ice Maker Problems
PROBLEM
Ice crescents attached at corners Ice maker will not operate or ice is not made fast enough

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND/OR REMEDY

This is normal. They break apart easily. Shake bin occasionally to keep cubes separated. on/off lever is in the off (up) position. Lower lever to on (down) position. Freezer is not cold enough. Adjust temperature controls and wait 24 hours. New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off-flavored ice. Discard the first three harvests of ice. Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a new supply. Food is not wrapped properly. Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. Water may contain minerals. A filter may be needed to remove them.

Common Refrigerator Problems

PROBLEM
Unit will not operate

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND/OR REMEDY

Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Is the power switch in the on position? See Understanding the sounds you may hear for descriptions of normal sounds and what makes them. This is normal in hot, muggy weather. Make sure the pan is level so it does not overflow. Is the freezer cold enough to make ice? It could take overnight for the freezer to reach the proper temperature. Is the signal arm in the on (down) position? Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the water valve? Check water line for leaks. Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Is a bulb burned out? The motor naturally runs longer on hot days, if the room is too warm, if a large amount of food has been added, or if the doors are opened often. Off-taste or odor in ice

Unit makes unfamiliar sounds Water in the defrost pan Ice Maker will not operate
