What a Viking kitchen needs settled on paper
These are not troubleshooting pages. They are the questions a Viking kitchen asks of the people building it — the clearance, the circuit, the duct, the water line, the altitude — written while the answer is still cheap to change. Every one ends in the same short list of things to confirm before anything is cut or ordered.
Written for designers, remodellers and the owners who have to referee between them, by the shop that turns up years later when one of those numbers was wrong.
