Use an appropriate work area and location when
•
performing repairs. You will find that it is easier to
repair undercounter units if they are set on a raised
platform or workbench.
Always wear protective safety glasses and gloves
•
when working on any Viking product.
Any refrigerant, whether CFC, HCFC, or HFC (R-12,
•
R-22, or R-134a), must be recovered. Federal
regulations prohibit the intentional venting or release
of refrigerants during the service repair or disposal
of an appliance.
Before Servicing
Always disconnect power to any Viking product
•
before attempting to service it. Always verify that
power has been disconnected.
If the unit has been running, use caution around the
•
condenser and copper tubing. These areas may be
very hot.
Use caution around the condenser fins and
•
baseplate edges. These areas are sharp.
Refrigerant is under high pressure. Always evacuate
•
any system before attempting to open it.
Reasonable care and safe work methods should
•
be practiced when working on any Viking product.
Never work with energized electrical equipment in
wet or damp areas.
