Installing Your Appliance; Cabinet Clearances - Viking VRUI5240 Install / Use & Care Manual

Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
ensure your product performs to specifi cations, the recom-
mended installation location temperature range is from 55
to 100°F (13 to 38°C).
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appli-
ance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the appliance as long as the front grille remains unob-
structed. All Professional models with articulated hinges are
intended for built-in applications only.
CAUTION
!
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille allow air to fl ow through the condenser heat ex-
changer. Restrictions to this air fl ow will result in increased
energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason
it is important this area to not be obstructed and the grille
openings kept clean. Viking Range, LLC does not recom-
mend the use of a custom made grille as air fl ow may be
restricted. (See Figure 2).
I NSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appli-
ance should be set so the unit is fi rmly positioned on the
fl oor and level from side to side and front to back. The
overall height of your appliance may be adjusted higher (by
turning the leveling leg out, CCW) and lower (by turning the
leveling leg in, CW) dimensions as shown in Table "A".
To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid
surface and protect the fl oor beneath the legs to avoid
scratching the fl oor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs.
Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning
the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appli-
ance forward using caution. On a level surface check the
appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille ad-
justed to the desired height. When adjustment is complete
tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).
