Ensure the ice machine is placed on a flat, stable surface and connected to a dedicated water line. Follow the installation instructions in the manual, including proper electrical connections and ventilation clearance.
Check if the power cord is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the water supply is turned on and the filter is not clogged. Refer to the troubleshooting guide for more steps.
It is recommended to clean the machine every 6 months. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and prevents bacterial growth. Follow the cleaning instructions in the manual.
While the Viking FGIM is designed for outdoor use, it should be protected from extreme weather conditions. Consider covering it or storing it indoors during harsh weather to prolong its lifespan.
Loud noises might be due to a blocked fan or a problem with the compressor. Ensure the machine is level and there are no obstructions in the vents. If the noise persists, contact a service technician.
First, turn off the water supply. Remove the old filter by twisting it counterclockwise. Insert the new filter and twist it clockwise until it is secure. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
Bad-tasting ice can result from impurities in the water. Clean the ice bin and machine thoroughly, and replace the water filter. Ensure that the water supply is clean and free from contaminants.
Slight variations in ice cube size can occur due to changes in water pressure or temperature. Consistent size variations may indicate a need for adjustment or cleaning. Refer to the manual for calibration instructions.
Keep the ice machine well-maintained by performing regular cleaning and replacing the water filter as needed. Ensure proper ventilation and avoid opening the ice bin frequently.
Check all water line connections for tightness and ensure the drain hose is not blocked. Inspect the ice bin for any cracks. If the issue persists, consult a qualified technician.
