Winterization Guidelines for Your Viking Gen 2 Chiller

If not in use (below 32°F / 0°C):

  • Fully drain all water from the chiller.

  • Store the unit indoors in a temperature-regulated environment to prevent internal damage due to freezing.

If running continuously (between 32°F and 14°F / 0°C to -10°C):

  • Set the chiller temperature to 41°F (5°C) and keep it running to prevent freezing.

  • Ensure the insulated sleeves (included with your original order) are securely installed over both the inline hose strainer and filter canister.

If temperatures drop below 14°F / -10°C:

  • The chiller must not be operated.

  • Drain all water from the unit and relocate it indoors for storage.

⚠️ Important Notice:
The chiller is designed to operate in ambient temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). Operation below this temperature or failure to use the insulated sleeves will result in internal freezing damage and void the warranty.

For long-term storage instructions, please refer to page 42 of the user manual.
