General Information
•
Viking Range, LLC is not responsible
for property damage due to improper
installation or water connection.
• Connect 1/4” (6 mm) fl exible copper tubing to
household plumbing in compliance with local
codes and ordinances.
• Length of copper tubing must reach from water
supply connection to the unit connection with an
additional length to facilitate moving the unit out
of enclosure for cleaning or service. Tubing should
be soft instead of rigid and ends should be free of
burrs.
• Copper tubing route must be above 35º F
(1.7º C) to prevent water line from freezing.
• DO NOT use plastic water lines from
the household plumbing to the water
inlet valve connection on the refrigeration
unit.
•
DO NOT
use the self-piercing feature of
a saddle valve.
The hole made by the
piercing lance is too small for the water
fl ow rate required by the ice maker.
• If saddle valve is not used, place a separate shut-
off valve in an easily accessible location between
water supply and the unit.
DO NOT
install shut-off
valve behind the unit.
• The installation of Viking Range, LLC units with
a reverse osmosis system is acceptable
as long
as the water pressure remains within the
allowable PSI as stated below.
It is important
to note that with many reverse osmosis systems,
the pressure starts off high, but then it decreases as
the water level of the reverse osmosis storage area
drops. This must be considered when checking the
water pressure coming into the unit.
• Connect to a vertical or horizontal 1/2” (1.3 cm) to
1-1/4” (3.2 cm) COLD water line near water area.
• Run water line through the fl oor, back, or side wall
in area shown on page 7. Connect to water supply
coming from back of unit on the left side.
• Water pressure must be greater than 20 psi and
less than 120 psi on non-dispenser units and
greater than 35 psi and less than 120 psi on
dispenser units.
Area Requirements
• Most of the unit’s weight is at the top.
