WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Some water may remain in line. Electric drill must be grounded to prevent severe or lethal shock if water is in line and enters drill during use.

Use only 1/4 (6 mm) copper tubing for water line. Do Not install copper tubing in area where temperatures drop below 35oF (1.7oC). Before attaching copper tubing to refrigerator, flush at least 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and into a bucket to remove any particles in the water line.

Viking Range Corporation is not responsible for property damage due to improper installation or water connection. Connect 1/4 (6mm) flexible copper tubing to household plumbing in compliance with local codes and ordinances. Length of copper tubing must reach from water supply connection to refrigerator connection with an additional length to facilitate moving the refrigerator 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 35oF (1.6oC) to prevent water line from freezing. Do not use plastic water lines. Do not use self-piercing feature of a saddle valve. The hole made by the piercing lance is too small for the water flow rate required by the ice maker. To use a saddle valve, follow the instructions on page 6 under To rough in water line on how to pre-drill a 3/16 diameter hole.

If saddle valve is not used, place a separate shut-off valve in an easily accessible location between water supply and refrigerator. Do not locate shut-off valve behind refrigerator.

Do not use with reverse osmosis water filtration system. This will void warranty. Connect a vertical or horizontal 1/2 (1.2 cm) to 1 1/4 (3.2 cm) COLD water line near refrigerator area. Run water line through the floor, back, or side wall. Tubing should lay flat on floor underneath refrigerator. Clamp tubing to wall or floor.

Water pressure must be greater than 20 psi and less than 120 psi.

To rough in water line: 1. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water. 2. Vertical cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16 (4.5 mm) hole in

an easily accessible location in water line. Horizontal cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16 (4.5 mm) hole in the TOP of the water line. This will keep sediment from collecting in valve.

3. Position washer over hole in water line. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to expose piercing lance a maximum of 3/16 (4.5 mm). Align piercing lance over hole in water line. Place both halves of saddle valve bracket against water line. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise until piercing lance enters hole in waterline and is firmly seated. The saddle valve is now in the closed position. Tighten packing nut. Evenly and firmly tighten bracket screws so washer will make a water-tight connection. Do not overtighten screws: copper tubing could be crushed.

4. Check that both ends of copper tubing are cut square. Slide compression nut and sleeve onto copper tubing. Insert end of copper tubing completely into valve outlet. Tighten compression nut to outlet with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
