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.”

Important Safety Instructions
Proper Disposal
(of old refrigerator)
• 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.
IMPORTANT:
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.
• Do not install a refrigeration unit near a heat source, nor in a
location where the surrounding temperature will fall below
60Þ F (16Þ C).
Contact your municipal waste disposal authority to find out
the best and safest way to dispose of your old refrigerator.
• 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.

Spillproof Shelves
Once your refrigerator has left the Sabbath mode, the bale
arm of the ice maker needs to be pushed downward until it is
no longer in the detent. This will restore power to the ice
maker.
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.
Setting the Controls
Set controls precisely with a household thermometer that
includes temperatures between -5Þ to 50Þ F (-21Þ to 10Þ C).
Checking the Temperature (freezer)
NOTE: Foods and beverages placed on
the uppermost shelf under the air vent may freeze.
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 0Þ to 2Þ F
(-17Þ to -16Þ C), adjust the temperature control one number
at a time. Then, check the temperature again in five to
8 hours.
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.
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 38Þ to 40Þ
F (3Þ to 4Þ C), adjust the control one number at a time.
Check again after five to eight hours.
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.
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.

Door Bin Adjustment
Chill Zone
Your refrigerator's door bins hold
two-liter bottles and can be placed
in any position on the refrigerator
door. To remove a bin, simply
grasp it, lift the bin up, and pull it
out.
Your new refrigerator's chill zone features the moisture-controlled
produce drawer(s) and the MEAT SAVOR™/PRODUCE drawer. Freezer
air circulating in the chill zone is contained by gaskets in the air duct
above the drawer. This area keeps food 3Þ to 5Þ F colder than average
refrigerator temperatures.
2
The chill zone temperature control is located to the right of the MEAT
SAVOR™/PRODUCE drawer. The control adjusts the amount of freezer
air circulating in this area. For normal refrigerator temperature, slide
the control down. To cool down the chill zone, slide the control up.
The uppermost control position is quick chill. This can be used to
quickly chill foods and beverages.
To replace the bin, place it over
the glides in the refrigerator door,
and push the door bin down to
lock it into place.

Moisture-Controlled Produce Drawer(s)
The moisture control on your refrigerator produce drawer(s) gives you
the ability to change the amount of moisture or humidity in a drawer,
and the clear top section allows you to see into a drawer without
opening it.
Dairy Compartments
Your refrigerator's dairy compartment
doors are surrounded by gaskets for a
tighter seal. This allows items to stay fresh
much longer. The dairy compartments can
be adjusted to meet your unique storage
needs.
The moisture control for the produce drawer(s) is located underneath
the front trim. Slide the control to a higher setting for storing deli
items or produce with leaves, such as lettuce, spinach, or cabbage.
Slide the control to a lower setting for storing fruits and vegetables
with skins, such as apples, corn, or tomatoes. See “Food Storage
Guide” (pg. 30) for more information on storing foods properly.
To remove the dairy compartments, simply
grasp, lift up and pull out. To replace,
position the dairy compartment over the
glides in the refrigerator door, and push the
compartment down to lock it into place.

If your refrigerator is dispensing ice continuously, the
dispenser’s motor is designed to shut off automatically after
three to five minutes. The motor will then reset after three
minutes and dispensing can continue.
You will be able to dispense water by pressing a sturdy, wide-
mouth drinking glass or container against the water
dispensing pad. To stop the flow of water, release the
pressure. A small amount of water may continue to fall into
the spill shelf located just below the dispenser. The spill shelf
is not self draining, so large spills should be wiped dry.
When you repeatedly dispense crushed ice, “snow” may form
on your the door and on the ice chute. You should allow
“snow” to evaporate on its own, or you can wipe it dry.
NOTE: The ice and water dispensers will shut off if the
refrigerator or freezer door has been left ajar for ten minutes.
Operation will resume when the door is closed.
Removing Ice Bucket
CAUTION
You can remove the Ice Bucket by simply lifting the bucket
and pulling it out. To replace it, slide it back in until the
bucket locks in place. If the freezer door will not close, the
bucket is not in the proper position.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
• Do not operate dispenser with freezer door open.
• Do not put fingers, hands, or any foreign object into dispenser
opening.
• Do not use sharp objects to break ice
CAUTION
To avoid property damage, do not dispense ice directly into a thin
glass, fine china, or delicate crystal.

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.
NOTE: Allow a one to two minute delay to allow internal
water tank to fill.
How to Order Replacement Filter Cartridges
Replacement filters are available through your local Viking
Range dealer. You may also order filters by calling Viking
Range Preferred Service at 1-888-845-4641, or online at
CAUTION
• Be sure to have replacement cartridges available when filter
change is required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter
cartridge.
• If system has not been used for several months, and water has
unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing two-three
glasses of water. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter
cartridge.
WARNING
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use unit where water is
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after use of filter.

Food Storage Guide
Food Storage Guide
Packaging Food for Freezing
Storing Fresh Food
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.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-
proof 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.
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
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.
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
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.
Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing
methods.
Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment.
When storing butter in the freezer, wrap it in freezer
packaging.
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.
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.
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.
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 3Þ to 5Þ
colder.
Storage times will vary according to the quality of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-
proof), and the storage temperature, which should be
0Þ to 2Þ F (-18Þ to -17Þ C).
Recommended storage times:
Chicken
1-2 days
1-2 days
3-5 days
7-10 days
Bacon
Cold Cuts
Variety Meats 1-2 days
5-7 days
3-5 days
Ground Beef
Steaks/Roasts
Cured Meats
NOTE: Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day as purchased.

Defrost Pan
Glass Shelves
To prevent condensation from overflowing, check defrost pan
periodically.
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 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.
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.
Door Stop Adjustment
Your refrigerator is factory set at 110Þ door stop position.
To change to either the 90Þ or 120Þ position, remove the
door stop pin located in the bottom hinge using a 3/16” allen
wrench. For 120Þ swing, move the pin to stop hole closest to
the unit. For 90Þ swing, move pin to stop hole farthest from
the unit.
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.
CAUTION

Troubleshooting
Saving Energy
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.
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.
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
Vacation Tip
• Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)
refrigerant flow: sounds like gurgles, pops or boiling
water
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:
• Defrost heater: sizzles, hisses or pops
• Use any perishables.
• Condenser fan: air rushes and whirls
• 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.
• 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.
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
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.
Common Ice Maker Problems
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND/OR REMEDY
Ice crescents attached at
corners
This is normal. They break apart easily.
Shake bin occasionally to keep cubes
separated.
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.
Ice maker will not operate
or ice is not made fast
enough
• on/off lever is in the off (up)
position. Lower lever to on (down)
position.
Common Refrigerator Problems
• Freezer is not cold enough. Adjust
temperature controls and wait 24 hours.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND/OR REMEDY
Off-taste or odor in ice
• New plumbing connections can cause
discolored or off-flavored ice.
Unit will not
operate
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?
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.
Unit makes

may hear” for descriptions of normal
sounds and what makes them.
unfamiliar sounds
Water in the defrost
pan
This is normal in hot, muggy weather.
Make sure the pan is level so it does not
overflow.
Ice Maker will not
operate
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.
Lights do not work
Has a household fuse blown or circuit
breaker tripped? Is a bulb burned out?
Motor seems to run
too long
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.
