ice maker’s power switch is turned 
Off (see the Use & Care Guide for 
more details).

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, do not connect your 
refrigerator to an electrical power source until you have completed Step 2 of these instructions.

Be sure to coordinate site preparation and installation with your kitchen contractor.

Include these minimum guidelines in your site preparation:
  •  Choose a place near a grounded electrical outlet.
  •  Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
  •  Avoid direct sunlight and close proximity to a range, 

dishwasher or other heat source.

  •  Floor should be level and able to support a fully loaded 

refrigerator.

  •  The refrigerator’s Ice Dispenser requires 

water supply access. 

  •  Plan for easy access to counter tops 

when removing food.

  •  For complete access to drawers and 

freezer baskets, doors must be able to 
fully open.

  •  Load refrigerator from side of cabinet 

only.

  •  Do not run retaining straps over handles nor overtighten straps.
  •  Never use refrigerator handles to move the refrigerator.

What’s Next?

Congratulations! You are ready to begin enjoying your new refrigerator. 
  •  For important safety instructions and to learn how to operate your refrigerator, please read 

the entire Use & Care Guide.

  •  You may want to start with the “Normal Operating Sights & Sounds” section of the Guide 

to learn what to expect during typical operation.

  •  Please register your product. You can register online at www.vikingrange.com. in the US or 

brigade.ca in Canada or you can simply send in the Registration Card.

Guidelines for fi nal positioning of your 
refrigerator

  •  All four corners of the cabinet must rest fi rmly on the 

fl oor.

  •  The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front to 

back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).

  •  Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or 
lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
  1  You can raise or lower each door. Use a 

3

/

8

 inch 

socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per 
side).

 

  To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.

 

  To lower:  turn adjustment screw 

counterclockwise. 

  2  Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals 

touching the cabinet on all four sides and that 
cabinet is stable.

  3  After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg until it 

contacts the fl oor.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

  1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
  2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. 

Turn ON water supply and fl ush supply line until 
water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff 
valve.

  3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and 

discard cap.

  4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression 

nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. 
Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far 
as it will go (¼ inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve 
inlet and fi nger tighten compression nut onto valve. 
Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT 
overtighten. See Figure 1.

   If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and 

ferrule are already assembled on the tubing. Slide 
compression nut onto valve inlet and fi nger tighten 
compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half 
turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 
2.

  5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line 

(copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown. 

  6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator as 

shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface. 

  7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten 

any connections that leak.

  8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
  9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (freezer 

ice maker) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power 
switch to the “ON” position (fresh food ice maker).

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
  •  Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fl at-blade screwdriver, and Phillips

TM

 screwdriver

  •  Access to a household cold water line with water 

pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

  •  A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6 mm) OD, 

copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the 
length of tubing needed, measure the distance 
from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the 
refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add 
approximately 7 feet, so the refrigerator can be 
moved out for cleaning. 

  •  A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to 

your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

  •  A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice 

maker inlet valve.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can 
cause death or severe personal 
injury, disconnect the refrigerator 
from electrical power before 
connecting a water supply line to 
the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:
•  Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. 

Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm) plastic is not recommended to be used. 

Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer 

will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.

•  Do not reuse compression fitting or reuse thread seal tape.
•  DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
•  Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker 

is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working prop-

erly.

NOTE

Check with your local building authority for 
recommendations on water lines and associated 
materials prior to installing your new refrigerator.  
Depending on your local/state building codes, Viking 
Range, LLC recommends for homes with existing valves 
its water line kit 054414-000 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel 
Water Line) and for homes without an existing valve, 
Viking Range, LLC recommends its water® line kit 
054415-000 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water Line with self-
