Cleaning And Maintenance; Troubleshooting Chart - Viking VUAR143TRSS Use & Installation Manual

SETTING THE CONTROLS (cont'd)
FOR OUTDOOR UNITS - it is recommended that in temperatures above 110ºF (43.3ºC) and below 40ºF (4.4ºC) the unit
be shut off. The normal operating range for the unit is between 60ºF (15.6ºC) and 100ºF (37.8ºC).
General Tips and Suggestions
•After making a temperture adjustment, allow 24 hours for your refrigerated beverage center to reach a new
temperature setting.
•The motor will start and stop often. It must do this to maintain the temperature setting.
•Unplug the refrigerated beverage center before working on anything with the electrical system.
•Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grill and/or the
light fixture switch can occur.
WINE SHELVES
To load wine bottles on wine shelves, alternate the necks of the bottles, front to back (see illustrations below). The wine
shelf should be located in the lowest position in the cabinet followed by the glass shelf directly above. The glass shelf
will act as a zone separator to create a warmer zone (5° to 7° warmer than set-point) for wine storage. Removal or
relocation of this glass shelf may adversely affect compartment temperature control.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
Condenser
The condenser underneath the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on
adequate ventilation over this heat exchanger. It is recommended to annually clean the condenser by vacuuming and
brushing. To access the condenser, the unit must be pulled out from the installation and the lower machine
compartment access cover removed.
Disconnect the power cord before removing the access cover.
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush
or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area.
Cabinet
The cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use abrasive
scouring powders.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted
detergent.
