Winterization GuidelinesUpdated a day ago

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Gen1 chiller, it is essential to follow these winterization steps when ambient temperatures approach or drop below 32°F (0°C):

• Unplug the Chiller: Always disconnect the power to your chiller before performing any procedure.

• Drain the Unit Completely: Fully drain all water from the chiller to prevent any water from freezing inside the system.

• Disconnect and Drain Hoses: Remove the hoses from the chiller and Viking, drain them thoroughly, and store them indoors in a temperature-regulated environment to prevent freezing or cracking.

• Store Indoors in a Temperature-Regulated Area: The chiller must be stored inside where temperatures remain above freezing to avoid damage.

Important: Failure to properly winterize your Gen1 chiller and hoses by not unplugging, draining, disconnecting, and storing them in a temperature-controlled environment risks internal damage such as cracks or leaks. This type of damage is not covered under the warranty and will void your coverage.

Following these guidelines helps protect your investment and ensures your chiller and equipment will be ready for use when warmer weather returns.
