IMPORTANT: USE OF ISLAND TRIM WITH AND WITHOUT 6” (15.2 CM) CLEARANCE.
Normal installation for island trim on either a range or rangetop is in an island/peninsula or where there is a
minimum clearance of 6”(15.2 cm) to any type of wall at the rear of the unit. Ranges and rangetops with an
island trim installation can be installed at zero clearance to the rear wall as long as the wall is non-combustible.
The responsibility for ensuring that the rear wall is non-combustible and heat resistant lies with the individual
owner and/or end user. Only in those cases where the island trim is installed with 6” (15.2 cm) of minimum
clearance to a rear wall, or when a truly non-combustible material is used, will the warranty apply. In no case will
Viking Range, LLC accept responsibility for any claims which may result from heat damage against a rear wall,
including cosmetic damage. It is the total responsibility of the owner/end user to ensure that the material
utilized in such applications is not only non-combustible, but is also truly heat-resistant.
Once you determine whether or not your product needs the provided spacers, the backguard is ready
to be attached.
Simply slide the backguard down onto the rear of the unit and attach using the (4) screws provided.
