To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• 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.
Child Safety (cont.)
• 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
•
NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may
cause them to burst.
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided,
it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safe
to store in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may
be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or
aerosol sprays.
• 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 lighted
surface burner.
• 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.
•
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure
you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct
burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
•
ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the
bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy
and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
This is based on safety considerations.
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.
• Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• 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.
• GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT
use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow
grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers
immediately.
• 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.
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause
the container to explode and result in injury.
• 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 burners and ignite or get caught on
appliance parts.
•
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before
attempting to move or handle.
• 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.
• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or
long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil
handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles.
These items could ignite and cause burns.
Child Safety
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they
could be injured or burned.

Cooking Safety (cont.)
Utensil Safety (cont.)
•
ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pot-holders.
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must
be moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when
using glass.
•
• ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
moving or replacing food.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
• NEVER cook with the oven door open. This could result in control panel and
knobs reaching a higher than normal temperature.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional
cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically
recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units,
stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or
accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life
of the components of the appliance.
• The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of
the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of
adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This
is based on safety considerations.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The
food could be contaminated
.
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation
Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The
use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is
well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call
for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation
(such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
Heating Elements
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or interior surfaces of oven.
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas
near burners 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
materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces
of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.
Utensil Safety
Cleaning Safety
• 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.
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or
cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Be sure utensil 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
surface 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.
•
DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as
aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep
oven free from grease buildup.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.
• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.

Surface Operation
Surface Operation
Our ranges are equipped with an exclusive restaurant style sealed burner
system. This unique burner system is equipped with 23,000 BTU front
burners, 15,000 BTU rear burners and one 8,000 rear burner.
Vari-Simmer™
Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot
liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering
ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening
and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can have
a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering.
For this reason, Viking range and rangetop burners are engineered with a
Vari-Simmer setting. The Vari-Simmer setting is not just one simmer
setting, but provides a variable range of simmer settings. This variable
range of simmer settings allows you to adjust the flame height to achieve
the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of food being
simmered. It is this ability that makes the Vari-Simmer setting the most
accurate and trustworthy simmer on the market.
The 23,000 BTU burners are designed to provide extra high heat output,
expecially when using large pans, and should be used for boiling large
quantities or if you need to bring something to a boil quickly. While the high
output 23,000 BTU burners have the extra power needed to bring large
quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, they are also able to be turned down low
enough to provide a very low and delicate simmer making this the most
versatile burner system on the market.
Lighting Burners
All burners are ignited by electric ignition.
There are no open-flame, “standing”
pilots.
Surface Cooking Tips
• Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in vessels that are
poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron.
Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the
cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating within
the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or
scorching the food.
Surface Burners-Automatic
Reignition
To light the surface burners, push and turn
the appropriate control knob counter
clockwise to any position. This control is
both a gas valve and an electric switch.
Burners will ignite at any “ON” position
with the automatic re-ignition system. If
• Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the
cooking vessel. A flame that extends along the sides of the vessel is
potentially dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead
of the food, and wastes energy.
the flame goes out for any reason, the
burners will automatically reignite if the
gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric
igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking”
sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged
in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.
• Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform
the desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks just as
quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a
higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture,
and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.
• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6”
(15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but
not recommended.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light.
When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to adjust the
flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired cooking process
and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in superior cooking
performance, while also saving time and energy.

Griddle/Simmer Plate
Surface Operation
(on applicable models)
The optional 15,000 BTU griddle is constructed of machined steel with
a chrome finish and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking
performance as well as easy clean up. The griddle is equipped with an
electronic thermostat to maintain an even temperature across the
griddle once the desired temperature has been set. The griddle has a
power “ON” indicator light which glows when the griddle thermostat
has been turned on. This will cycle on and off as needed to indicate
the thermostat is maintaining the selected temperature.

Cooking Vessels
Each cook has his or her own preference for the
particular cooking vessels that are most
appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use
in the range and it is not necessary to replace
your present domestic vessels with commercial
cookware. This is a matter of personal choice.
As with any cookware, yours should be in good
condition and free from excessive dents on the
bottom to provide maximum performance and
convenience.

Griddle/Simmer Plate Operation
• Turn the griddle control knob counterclockwise to the desired
temperature setting. The power “ON” indicator light will glow indicating
the griddle thermostat is on.
• When the griddle has reached the desired temperature, the power “ON”
indicator light will turn off indicating the griddle is preheated to the
selected temperature.

• Routinely scrape loose food particles with a heat resistant plastic or
wooden spatula during cooking to make the cleanup easier and to avoid
the particles mixing with the food.
• To turn the griddle off, turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the “OFF”
position.
• ALWAYS turn to the“OFF” position when not in use and lower the heat
between cooking loads.
Note: On griddle model ranges, the griddle/simmer plate will not
function during the self-clean cycle.
Gentle Close Door Feature
All oven doors come standard with a gentle close feature. The
door will remain in an open position until the door is
approximately 5” (12.7 cm) away from the oven. When reaching
this point, the door will require a slight push to engage the gentle
close mechaism. The closing speed of the door will vary according
to the oven temperature.
Griddle/Simmer Plate Clean Up & Care
• AFTER the griddle has cooled, simply wipe down the surface with a clean
cloth or paper towel. The chrome griddle plate can then be removed
and taken to the sink for easy cleanup.
• After heavy cooking is completed and the griddle is still warm enough to
create steam, pour a small amount of club soda at room temperature
directly on the griddle. Using a heat resistant or wooden spatula, pull oils
and food particles toward the trough in front. Wipe entire surface with a
paper towel.
Rack Positions
The 36”W. and 48” W. right-hand oven is equipped with two full
extension glide racks and one standard tilt-proof rack. The 18” left-
hand oven is equipped with two standard tilt-proof racks. All
ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the
oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The
racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For
best results with conventional baking, DO NOT use more than one
rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks, to
bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
• Non-stick cooking spray is not recommended as it contains a high water
content that has a tendency to burn quickly.
• Corn oil is not recommended as it has a high sugar level. It will
caramelize and burn on the surface making it very difficult to remove.
• After using the griddle, always remove the grease trough located in the
front. Simply pull the trough towards you and lift out. The trough or tray
trap needs to be cleaned after each use. A fire hazard may occur if
grease is accumulated in the trough.
• Important: Never flood a hot griddle with cold water. This thermal shock
promotes griddle warping and can cause the griddle to crack if
continued over a period of time.
CAUTION: Chrome griddle plate is Not Dishwasher Safe
Optional Nonstick griddle/grill accessory plate is available for purchase.

BAKE
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. It
is recommended to use this function for single-rack baking.

for single rack baking. Many
cookbooks contain recipes to be
cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional baking is suitable for
dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking and
casseroles.
Convection cooking is a technique utilizing fan-forced air which is
circulated throughout the entire oven cavity creating the optimum
cooking environment. Cooking with convection is intended when
performing multi-rack baking and for heavier foods. Below are some
tips which will allow you to get the best results out of your oven when
cooking with convection.
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F (14°C) when using a
convection cooking function.
To Use BAKE Function
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning
oven on.
• 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.)

• DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. Look through the
door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open
the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.
• Bake to the 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 out 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.

CONV ROAST* (Convection
Roast)
Roasting Tips (cont.)
• 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
temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After
The convection element runs in
conjunction 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

the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature
registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.
gained over existing, single fan
convection roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole
chickens, hams, etc.
• 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 (3°C) to 10˚ F (6°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.
*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 (14°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
Broiling
Broiling Instructions
To Use Broil or Convection Broil
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.
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning
broiler on.
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to “Broil”. Turn on the
convection fan switch if you wish to convection broil.
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open
broil stop position.With open door broiling the broil element does
not cycle on and off and could cause the control panel and knobs to
reach a higher than normal temperature. With closed door broiling
the broil element might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time
is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven
helps reduce smoke and odors.
Conventional broiling 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.

MED BROIL
Broiling Tips
Inner and outer broil elements pulse
on and off to produce less heat for
slow broiling. Allow about 4 inches
(10 cm) between the top surface of
the food and the broil element. Slow
broiling is best for chicken and ham
in order to broil food without over-
browning it. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.
• 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.
LOW 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.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.
• 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.
To Use Broil or Convection Broil
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning
broiler on.
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the
temperature control knob to “Broil”.
Rack Positions for Broiling
Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the
closest to the oven bottom.
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open
broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does
not cycle on and off and could cause the control panel and knobs
to reach a higher than normal temperature. With closed door
broiling the broil element might cycle on and off if an extended
broiling time is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of
the oven helps reduce smoke and odors.

Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits
and vegetables. Warm air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of
the oven and over a period of time, the water is removed from the
food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of
microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to
remember that dehydration does not improve the quality, so only
fresh, top-quality foods should be used.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range
must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all
controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if you are going to
clean thoroughly with water.
Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon
Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.
Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner heads and bases, place parts
in a zip seal bag with ammonia.
Surface Burners
Burner Flange
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible
after they occur and before they get a
chance to burn in and cook solid. In the
event of a spill-over, follow these steps:
• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a
safe temperature level.
After the burner flange has cooled, it
should be wiped with hot soapy water but
do not allow water to run or drip in the
large center opening. DO NOT use steel
wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or
powders. To remove encrusted materials,
soak the area with a hot towel to loosen
the material, then use a wooden or nylon
spatula.
DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any
other metal tool to scrape the burner flange.
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.
• Replace burner base, burner head, and grates after drying
thoroughly.
• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm
soapy water.
• Remove the burner head and burner
base and clean.
Burner Heads
The surface burner heads should be routinely removed and cleaned.
ALWAYS clean the burner heads after a spill-over. Keeping the burner
heads clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean,
pull burner head straight up from the burner base. Wipe off with warm,
soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a non-abrasive cleanser
such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad for cooked-
on foods. If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Self-Clean Cycle
VDR Dual Fuel models only
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your oven.
NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS,
CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
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 cleaning temperatures.
VDR models – Your oven features a self-clean cycle for the oven
interior. See the “Self-Clean Cycle” section for complete instructions.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy
water after they have cooled and with a liquid cleaner designed for that
material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool,
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel
to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen
the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use
a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel.
DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel
surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor
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.
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.
stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
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.
Glass Surfaces
Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to
remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it
does not run down on exterior door surface.

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.
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-
filled steel wool pad.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
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.
