This document is a Use & Care Manual for the Viking 5 Series Built-in All Refrigerators and All Freezers, covering various models including VCRB5303, VCRB5363, FDRB5303, FDRB5363, VCFB5303, VCFB5363, FDFB5303, FDFB5363, CVCRB5303, CVCRB5363, CFDRB5303, CFDRB5363, CVCFB5303, CVCFB5363, CFDFB5303, and CFDFB5363. It provides comprehensive information on the operation, features, and maintenance of these appliances to ensure reliable service and user satisfaction.
The refrigerator and freezer units are designed with advanced features to optimize food preservation and user convenience. A key component is the ProChill™ Temperature Management System, which utilizes a variable speed DC Overdrive™ Compressor. This compressor is noted for being quiet and technologically advanced, working in conjunction with electronic controls that provide digital temperature readouts. The system also incorporates a multi-channel airflow system and an Odor Eliminator™ Evaporator, which collectively maintain consistent temperatures, remove odors, and manage excess humidity within the compartments.
Another significant feature is the Plasmacluster™ Ion Air Purifier. This technology employs ions to actively eliminate airborne bacteria and mold spores, further contributing to odor removal and enhanced food preservation. A notable advantage of this system is that it is designed to be maintenance-free, meaning the Plasmacluster™ will continuously keep the refrigerator free of bacteria and mold without requiring replacement.
For specialized storage, the units are equipped with Adjustable Humidity Zone™ Drawers. These drawers feature an adjustable humidity control, allowing users to customize the environment for different types of produce. A high setting is recommended for leafy greens, while a low setting is ideal for fruits and vegetables with skins, ensuring optimal freshness for a variety of items. The clear top section of these drawers also allows for easy viewing of contents without needing to open them.
Illumination within the refrigerator is provided by LED Lighting, strategically placed on the top and sidewalls to ensure bright and clear visibility of all contents. This modern lighting solution enhances the user experience by making it easier to locate items.
The Super Clog-Resistant™ Condenser is a design highlight, featuring a pin and tube construction that effectively prevents dust and other airborne particles from clogging the condenser coil. Under normal operating conditions, this condenser is maintenance-free, reducing the need for frequent cleaning or service.
The manual also details various operational aspects. The Power On/Off Switch, located behind the top grille, allows users to turn the power off for cleaning or maintenance. Electronic controls with digital temperature readouts are accessible behind the door, enabling precise temperature adjustments for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The factory default settings are 38°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer, with a recommendation to allow 24 hours for the cabinets to reach these settings after initial plug-in or temperature changes. Users can also switch the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
An "Entry Tone" provides an audible beep when control pads are pressed, which can be deactivated or reactivated as desired. The "Fast Cool" function runs the compressor at high speed for two hours to rapidly cool the refrigerator, returning to its previous setting afterward.
Several modes are available to optimize performance. "Max Refrigerator Mode" sets the refrigerator to its coldest temperature for four hours, while "Max Freezer Mode" does the same for the freezer for six hours, both reverting to previous settings automatically. Alarms are integrated for user awareness: a "Door Open Alarm" sounds if a door is left open for more than three minutes, and a "High Temperature Alarm" activates if the refrigerator or freezer temperature becomes too high for two hours, with a blinking light indicating the affected compartment. A "Power Loss Alarm" flashes the "POWER" indicator to signal a power outage. A "Temperature Sensor Alarm" electronically senses sensor problems, displaying "oPn" or "Shr" and requiring contact with an authorized technician if the display does not return to normal temperature.
For specific observances, a "Sabbath Mode" disables interior lights, display (except for the SAB indicator, temperature, and compartment indicator), and alarms. To engage this mode, the ice maker's bale arm must be raised to the off position.
The interior organization is highly flexible. Spillproof Plus Shelves with Nano Technology are designed to contain liquids without raised edges, offering extra shelf capacity. Standard Spillproof Shelves, made of polypropylene molded around glass and metal, are fully enclosed to prevent spills from seeping under the glass, simplifying cleanup. Shelves are adjustable and can be easily removed for cleaning or reconfiguring the interior space. Door Bins are also adjustable and can accommodate two-liter bottles, allowing for flexible storage on the refrigerator door. Dairy Compartments feature gaskets for a tighter seal, keeping items fresh longer, and are also adjustable and removable. Deli Drawers and Adjustable Humidity Zone™ Drawers are designed for easy removal and replacement, facilitating organization and cleaning.
For freezer models, Wire Shelf Adjustment allows for easy removal and repositioning of shelves. Wire Basket Adjustment enables users to adjust dividers within the baskets for better organization.
Automatic Ice Makers are included in freezer units. The ice maker starts filling with water and producing ice after 24-48 hours. Users are advised to discard the first three full drawers of ice. The ice maker can be turned off by raising the signal arm to the up position. Ice Bin Adjustment allows for the ice bin to be positioned on either the left or right side, and it can be reversed if the ice maker is not operating, to be used for cold storage.
The manual provides a "Food Storage Guide" with recommendations for storing fresh food, including proper wrapping and placement, and suggested storage times for various items in both the refrigerator and freezer. Packaging guidelines for freezing food are also included, emphasizing the use of appropriate containers and wraps to prevent spoilage.
Maintenance instructions are detailed to ensure the longevity of the appliance. Interior surfaces should be cleaned with a solution of baking soda and warm water, using a soft cloth. Harsh cleaners, abrasive materials, and dishwashers for ice buckets and shelves are explicitly prohibited. Glass shelves require careful handling due to their tempered nature and should be allowed to reach room temperature before cleaning. Crevices can be cleaned with diluted mild detergent and a plastic bristle brush. Door Gaskets should be cleaned every three months and lubricated with petroleum jelly to maintain pliability. The Defrost Pan needs periodic checking and cleaning to prevent condensation overflow, which involves removing the kickplate and pulling the pan forward.
A "Cleaning Chart" provides a quick reference for cleaning different parts of the appliance, specifying what to use and how to clean removable parts, front door panels (stainless steel and painted), interior walls, door liners and gaskets, plastic parts, and the Super Clog-Resistant™ Condenser.
The "Door Stop Adjustment" section explains how to change the door's opening angle (90°, 110°, or 120°) using an allen wrench. "Saving Energy" tips include minimizing door openings, avoiding overcrowding, and not setting temperatures colder than necessary.
"Vacation Tip" guidelines are provided for short and long absences, covering perishable food management, power settings, cleaning, and water supply to the ice maker. "Power Interruptions" advice focuses on keeping freezer doors closed for short outages and using dry ice or alternative storage for longer periods.
A "Troubleshooting" section lists common problems, their possible causes, and remedies, such as issues with unit operation, unfamiliar sounds, water in the defrost pan, lights not working, motor running too long, temperature display discrepancies, ice crescent formation, ice maker malfunction, and off-tastes or odors in ice.
Finally, "Service Information" outlines how to contact authorized service agencies, providing details on what information to have ready (model number, serial number, purchase date, dealer name). It also includes contact information for Viking Range, LLC Preferred Service and emphasizes the use of authorized parts for warranty protection. The manual concludes with warranty information, detailing the coverage for different components and periods, and disclaimers regarding specific damages and implied warranties.
