Viking VGSB152TNSS Outdoor Kitchen Planning Guide - Page 9

PLANNING YOUR VIKING OUTDOOR KITCHEN Anticipate your requirements for your outdoor kitchen to get the most flexibility during its use. With a complete Viking outdoor kitchen, you now have not only the most complete line of outdoor appliances, but also the cabinets that provide the same storage and organizational capabilities of an indoor kitchen. Now you can prepare your appetizers, drinks and food outside while remaining part of the group, rather than having to go inside. When planning the outdoor kitchen layout, consider the flow of people during outdoor cooking and entertaining as well as the flow from inside and outside the house. Since the kitchen is made up of individual cabinets, they can be arranged in virtually any combination allowing for true customization. Common Installations (For actual assembly of individual cabinets, please refer to Viking installation instructions) In General The cabinets have been designed to be easily installed by contractor or consumer. The cabinets are designed completely of stainless steel and provide a rich, contemporary look that complements Viking outdoor appliances. The cabinets are 341/2" high where the toe kick area is 41/2". Locally supplied countertops must be mounted on top. The leveling legs on each cabinet allow for adjustments on uneven surfaces. The leveling legs allow for a minimum adjustment of 341/4" and a maximum of 36". Typically, the first cabinet is placed at the highest point and the other cabinets are leveled from there. To gain the most flexibility from the kitchen design, separate all appliances by at least one base cabinet or with available 4"W. fillers (VFLR4). Remember to account for the 8" minimum the rotisserie motor requires for installation when placing cabinets next to a grill base. All cabinets are 30"deep. The cabinets can be installed against a house, a masonry, a stucco half-wall or freestanding in an island configuration. A stainless side panel (VSP30) is available to finish ends where a wall doesn't exist. Each cabinet is leveled using the attached leveling legs and then together. Choose a countertop material of 11/4" (like granite, quartz, etc.) or more (other stone, tile, etc.). If the countertop is greater than 11/4" thick, you should use shims (not included) to install the appliance (grill, side burner, wok) flush to the countertop. After the countertop is installed the appliances are placed in them and the kitchen is complete. (Note: The full weight of the appliance must be set on the solid bottom support, including shims if necessary, and not supported by the countertop side trim.) Against a non-combustible surface When installing a run of cabinets that includes a grill base against a non-combustible surface, the back of the cabinets should be at least 3" from the wall to insure meeting the grill specifications. When this is the case, a 4"W. back panel (VBPFLR4) along with a 30" Side Panel (VSP30) can be used to finish the end of the cabinet run. The VBPFLR4 is screwed into the back of the cabinet that ends the run and matches up against the VSP30. As shown in the example below, there may be instances when an oven tower ends the cabinet run. When this is the case, a 30"W./68"H. side panel (VTSP30) will be used to end the run and a 30"W./34"H. half side panel (VTHP30) will be used on the side of the oven tower cabinet that the countertop runs into. All of the other cabinets are installed on either or both sides of the grill cabinet flush to its face.
