SECTION 4 – Customer Calls
Viking’s warranty does not cover customer service education calls. If a service call occurs and the rea-
son is customer education, the customer is responsible for any billings.
Guide for Screening Customer Calls
Make sure you are familiar with the factory specifications for this unit.
Keep in mind that there are many factors which can affect cabinet performance such as the ambient
temperature, application, excessive door openings, product loading, etc. Additionally, the digital read-
out is monitoring true air temperature, not product temperature. (The readout has a 20 minute delay
built into it for temperature rise).
Temperature Control Specifications
Information required to properly analyze service issues:
What is the ambient temperature of the room/area that cabinet is installed in?
The standard ambient temperature range is 40°F to 105°F.
Under extreme temperature/relative humidity conditions the front face, gasket and/or glass door
may show signs of sweating. This will diminish when temperature/relative humidity conditions re-
turn to normal.
Is the unit in an application of heavy use?
If the door(s) or drawers are being opened excessively or not sealing properly, this
allows extra heat into the unit causing extended compressor run times. Ensure door(s) and drawers
are closed completely and not left open for a long duration of time. No door adjustments should ever
be necessary unless major structural damage has been done to the cabinet.
