To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

Child Safety (cont.)

• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing

to reach items could be seriously injured.

•

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before

operating it.

Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials,

gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken

to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

NEVER leave any items on the range. The hot air from the vent may ignite

flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may

cause them to burst.

•

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.

Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children

should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be

allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.

Cooking Safety

• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you

know which knob controls which surface element. Make sure the correct

element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element off before

removing pan.

•

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and

may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the

appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the

range as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface

element.

• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially

when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as

possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.

• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element or in the oven.

Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal

injury or damage to the appliance.

• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may

become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT

leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire

hazard.

•

Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.

Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders

because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught

on appliance parts.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish

flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

• Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before

attempting to move or handle.

•

NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.

DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

• DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or

near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent

grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When “flaming” foods under

the hood, TURN THE FAN OFF.

Child Safety

• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-

sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.

• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool.

elements when the range is in use.

FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.

• NEVER touch oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior

surfaces of oven.

Cookware Safety

•

Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near

elements and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause

burns.

During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable

material contact surface of unit or areas near unit, heating elements, or

interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE – If cooking surface

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken

cooking surface and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified

technician immediately.

•

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay

cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans.

Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they

could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled

with food may also be hazardous.

•

Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid

boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan

will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the

bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over

adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the

appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by

small children.

Cleaning Safety

•

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or

cleaning them. DO NOT touch the surface elements or surrounding areas

until they have had sufficient time to cool.

• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the

Before Using Range

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any

visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the

manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the range

thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and

odors on first use of the appliance–this is normal.

Induction Cookware

Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the

base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat

source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your cookware

MUST have a magnetic layer of steel for your induction cooktop to

operate properly. The cookware should have a flat, heavy magnetic

bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5” (13 cm) to 12” (31 cm)

to accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware

should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the

bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Glass Range

Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough

cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.

Oven

IMPORTANT! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and

dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the thermostat

to 450°F, and operate for an hour.

All Viking cookware is induction friendly, as are

most other high-end brands of stainless steel

and enamel cookware. Most induction

cookware will be suitable for your induction

cooktop if a magnet adheres to the bottom

surface.

Conventional and Convection Cooking

For best results, it is extremely

Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency,

some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional

bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended

when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other

foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake.

This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique

which utilizes fan forced air to circulate heat throughout the entire

oven creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with

convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for

baking heavier foods.

important that you preheat your

oven to the desired cooking

temperature before placing food

items in the oven to begin cooking. In

many cooking modes, partial power from the

broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat

temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the

oven during the preheat mode is not recommended.

The Viking Rapid Ready™ Preheat System is engineered so that

the oven is brought to the desired set temperature in a manner which

will provide the optimum cooking environment based on the selected

cooking mode in the shortest possible time.

Conventional and Convection Cooking Tips

• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection

recipes, reduce the temperature by 25° F (-3.9° C) and the cooking

time by approximately 10 to 15%.

For instance, the preheat mode for TruConvec™ is designed to be

brought up to the set point temperature in a different manner than the

preheat mode for conventional bake. This is because TruConvec™ is

designed for multi-rack baking. So it is extremely critical that all rack

positions have reached the desired cooking temperature. As a result, it

is normal for oven to take slightly longer for the oven to preheat to

350°F in TruConvec™ mode when compared to the amount of time it

takes to preheat the oven cavity to 350°F in conventional bake mode.

• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the

same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller

load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time.

(Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or

cooking large loads.)

• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it

is possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time. This is

especially true for large items cooked in the convection roast

function.

• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods

in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods

that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time include:

pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience

foods.

Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors such as

room temperature and power supply. A significantly colder room

temperature or a power supply less than 240 VAC can lengthen the

time it takes for the oven to reach the desired set temperature.

• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,

and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3

and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.

See “Oven Features” illustration.

• Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over baked. This

being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven

just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right

after they are set out of the oven.

Baking

Conventional and Convection Cooking Tips (cont.)

• Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require

adjustment and testing when converting from standard to

convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by

preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving

acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the

similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction

during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a

time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the

convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time

until satisfactory results are achieved.

BAKE (Two-Element Bake)

Full power heat is radiated

from the bake element in the

bottom of the oven cavity and

supplemental heat is radiated

from the broil element. This

function is recommended for

single rack baking. Many

cookbooks contain recipes to

be cooked in the conventional

manner. Conventional baking/

two-element bake

roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high

temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

Pan Placement Tips

• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of

the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.

• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use one

of the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th positions or the 3rd

and 5th positions for more even baking. When baking on three

racks, use any combination of positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more

consistent results.

• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans

are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly

above another.

heated air is circulated by the

motorized fan in the rear of the

oven providing a more even

heat distribution. This even

convection bake

circulation of air equalizes the

temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and

cold spots found in conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection

baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks—a

feature not possible in a standard oven.

When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing

meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural flavor on

the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be

baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even

when different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat. The hot

air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Use this

setting for baking and roasting.

• Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before

adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in

the center of the product should come clean when done.

• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure

best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be

baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use

of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-

coated pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Roasting

CONV ROAST*

Roasting Tips (cont.)

(Convection Roast)

• When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the

center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry insert the

thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part

of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,

or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat

The convection element runs in

conjuction with the inner and

outer broil elements. The

reversible convection fan runs at

a higher speed in each

direction. This transfer of heat

(mainly from the convection

element) seals moisture inside

of large roasts. A time savings is

temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After

reading the thermometer once, insert it ⁄

the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature

registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.

• Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape and quality

of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in

the conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking

techniques. Remove roasted meats from the oven when the

thermometer registers 5° F (-15° C) to 10° F (-12° C) lower than the

desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from

the oven. Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in

order to make carving easier.

inch (1.3 cm) further into

convection roast

gained over existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this

setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.

*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum

cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan

speed. This is normal.

Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the “Baking”

section for additional information.

Roasting Tips

ALWAYS use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The

hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted.

DO NOT cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting seals in

juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light,

crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats

and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or

poultry to stand at room temperature.

• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection

recipes, reduce the temperature by 25° F (-3.9° C) and the cooking

time by approximately 10 to 15%.

• ALWAYS roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting

rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up. DO NOT add

water to the pan as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry

heat process.

• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan.

Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during

roasting.

• For convection roasting, DO NOT use pans with tall sides as this will

interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.

• If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional

bake setting rather than either convection setting.

Broiling

CONV BROIL*

LOW BROIL

(Convection Broil)

This mode uses only a fraction

of the available power to the

inner broil element for delicate

top-browning. The inner broil

element is on for only part of

the time. Use this setting to

gently brown meringue on racks

3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.

The top element operates at full

power. This function is exactly the

same as regular broiling with the

additional benefit of air circulation

by the motorized fan in the rear of

the oven. Smoke is reduced since

the airflow also reduces peak

temperatures on the food. Use

this setting for broiling thick cuts

of meats.

convection broil

low broil

Broiling Instructions

Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is

used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties.

Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and

the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results.

*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum

cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan

speed. This is normal.

HI BROIL

Conventional broiling (LOW, MED or HI BROIL) is most successful for

cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of

meat. Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food

slightly quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats

produces better results, especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on

the outside and retains more juices and natural flavor inside with

less shrinkage.

Heat radiates from both broil

elements, located in the top of

the oven cavity, at full power. The

distance between the foods and

the broil elements determines

broiling speed. For fast broiling,

food may be as close as 2 inches

Broiling Tips

Broiling Chart

• ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are

designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from

the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.

• To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.

• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to

prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.

• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended

time, season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.

• ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or

removing food.

• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the

food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated

oven after broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel

over grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour

water over grid. This will make cleaning of the pan easier, or the

broiler pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make cleaning

easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan. Although

it is not recommended, the grid can also be covered with foil. Be

sure to slit openings to conform with the openings in the grid so

melted fat can drain through to prevent spattering, smoking, or

the possibility of grease fire.

2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade.

Hold the blade at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.

3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional

protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface

with the cleaning cream.

4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves

a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to

prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make

future cleaning easier. Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this

protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more

susceptible to staining.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Self-Clean Cycle

Brass Parts

This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this

cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and

deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with

the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven

after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically

activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch ensures that the

door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.

All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.

CAUTION

To avoid the risk of property damage, DO NOT USE BRASS

CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON ANY BRASS PARTS. All

brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water.

When hot soapy water will not do the job, use every day household

cleaners that are not abrasive.

Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:

1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven. The

high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor, warp, and

damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the oven. During the

self-clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

Broiler Pan and Grid

Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled

steel wool pad.

2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use

oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the

door.

Oven Racks

Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a

soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS OR RACK

SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could sustain damage due

to the extreme heat of the self-clean cycle.

3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle

begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to clean if

not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and

up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Rinse

thoroughly and dry.

Power Failure

No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.

Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.

WARNING

BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL

before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns

or electrical shock.

Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only

when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will

function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not

affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the

range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until

power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls off

and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.

CAUTION

DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning

cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the

touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,

there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in

the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is

thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-

cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high

temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-vented during the self-cleaning

cycle.

Self-Clean Cycle

Replacing Oven Lights

To start the Self-Clean cycle:

1. Close the door completely.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit

breaker before replacing bulb.

2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.

3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the

knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on. Within

30 seconds the automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator

light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven

reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and off

during the self-clean cycle. When the oven reaches the elevated

temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light

comes on.

CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury, DO NOT touch bulb with bare

hands. Clean off any signs of oil from the bulb and handle with a

soft cloth.

glass light

cover

4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is

completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe

temperature. A complete cycle is approximately 3-1/2 hours with an

additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough for

the door latch to disengage.

1. Unsnap glass light cover

using a screwdriver in the

access groove.

2. Firmly grasp light bulb and

Note: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and will

continue to run for the 3-1/2 hour duration of the self-clean cycle.

3. Replace with halogen bulb

using volt and wattage

requirements listed on glass

cover.

5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and

temperature control knob to the “OFF” position. When the oven has

completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the oven

surfaces with a damp cloth.

To stop the Self-Clean cycle:

To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature

control knob and the oven function selector knob to “OFF”. When the

oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch

will release and the oven door can be opened. When the oven has

completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp

sponge or cloth.

5. Reconnect power at the main

fuse or circuit breaker.
