Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into
a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC
only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall recep-
tacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should
you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified elec-
trician install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used tem-
porarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be
AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither Viking nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the
microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the cor-
rect electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio
or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relo-
cate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.

Information You Need To Know
About Your Microwave oven
This Installation/Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always
save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cook-
ing principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn
the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven.
The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the micro-
wave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear
the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the microwave
oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the
moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the
microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensa-
tion as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry
clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave oven is rated 1100 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In
using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
About Children and the Microwave
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising
person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising
person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not, he/
she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven
door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove cov-
erings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because
they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can
cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 38 for
Child Lock feature.

About Utensils and Coverings
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen
can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil
does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow
manufacturer's directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little
fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty
dish in the microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish
which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing
fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for
cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent
so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept
near the food to hasten cooking.
• Microwave oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that
need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag
so steam can escape.

How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be
used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the micro-
wave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good micro-
wave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase.
Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-
wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and
assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Viking is not
responsible for any damage to the microwave oven when accessories are used.
About Microwave Cooking
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper
towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spatter-
ing and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poul-
try to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods
as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at
least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top
to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without
overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures
have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

About Safety
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department
of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away
from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in
contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils
to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly
lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress
frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and
minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil,
your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from
walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Super Defrost and Auto
Charts or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the Super
Defrost and Auto Charts (pages 33 and 35), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using
Power Level 3. Follow the exact 4-step procedure found under To Set Power
Level. Estimate defrosting time and press Power Level eight times for 30%
power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approxi-
mately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of
frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or separate the por-
tions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated
defrosting time, program the microwave oven in 1 minute increments at 30%
until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to
remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

SENSOR OPTIONS
The Viking Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture
and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cook-
ing times and power level for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SENSOR
OPTIONS.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the micro-
wave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For
example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. Any SENSOR OPTIONS selection can be programmed with More or Less
Time Adjustment. See page 38.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked
following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of SENSOR OPTIONS, the food name will appear on
the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or touch Stop/Clear
during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be
interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cook-
ing, touch the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of
cooking time will appear. The door may be opened when remaining
cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season
food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the
microwave oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed.
If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave oven will turn off.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed,
continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP indicator is
lighted in the display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the
SENSOR OPTIONS chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking.
Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to
19
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If
dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from
you.
Example:
You can cook many foods by simply selecting the food and touching Start/
Touch On. You don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.
• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.
1. Touch Reheat pad.
2. Touch Start/Touch On pad.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of
cooking time will appear.

mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Cleaning is easy because little heat is
generated to the interior surfaces; there-
fore, there is no baking and setting of
spills or spattering. To clean the interior
surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm
water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR
HARSH CLEANERS O R SCO URING
PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda
or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN

Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the
waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance. Care-
fully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover
immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke
or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove,
combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole
cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100%
power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft
cloth.
Turntable/Turntable Support
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy
cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains
use a mild cleanser and non abrasive scouring sponge. They
are also dishwasher-safe. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The
turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills
should be wiped up immediately.
