ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This 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.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock.
Electrical Requirements
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE
GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. If
the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceperson install
an outlet near the appliance.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate
120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded
receptacle. The receptacle should be located inside the cabinet directly
above the Microwave Oven mounting location.
NOTE:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical UÊ
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.
Neither Viking nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage UÊ
to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the
correct electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference

Getting Started
BEFORE USING MICROWAVE OVEN
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the
turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The
turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave
energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the
magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the 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 oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be
blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry
clothes or newspapers.
Your 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.
Cookware Safety
Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns UÊ
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.
DO NOTUÊ heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may
cause the container to explode and result in injury.
Use care when opening the microwave door. Let hot air or steam UÊ
escape before removing or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING:UÊ 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.
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 (PyroceramUÊ
®
), such as Corningware®.
heat-resistant glass (PyrexUÊ
®
)

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the
empty dish in the 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 UÊ
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.UÊ
Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be UÊ
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 UÊ
kept near the food to hasten cooking.
Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that UÊ
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 UÊ
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 UÊ
microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good
microwave 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 microwave-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.
Child Safety
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a UÊ
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.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the UÊ
microwave oven.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, UÊ
remove coverings 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 UÊ
he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See UÊ
page 28 for Child Lock feature.
Food Safety
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.UÊ
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated UÊ
and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or
ignite.
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for UÊ
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a
lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat UÊ
or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are
cooked thoroughly.
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during UÊ
cooking, if possible.
Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such UÊ
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 UÊ
from top to bottom and from right to left.
IMPORTANT–Please Read and Follow

Operation
Sensor Settings
Viking's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor
(moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor
adjusts the cooking times and power levels for various foods and
quantities.
After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor UÊ
setting.
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the UÊ
oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For UÊ
example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time UÊ
Adjustment. See page 30.
More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be UÊ
cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the UÊ
display. Do not open the oven or touch STOP/Clear during this part
of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this
occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch
the STOP/Clear pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the
remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear. The oven may be
opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this
time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping UÊ
popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the time of day will be
displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
cooking other foods,
&3 3 0 3
will be displayed, and the microwave
will turn off.
Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, UÊ
continue to cook manually.
Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the Help pad when the HELP UÊ

After each stage, rearrange and if there are
warm or thawed portions, shield with small
flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any
meat or fish that is nearly defrosted. Let
stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
Poultry Boneless
.5 - 2.0 lb.
Use boneless breast of chicken or turkey.
After each stage, if there are warm or thawed
portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand,
covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
Poultry Bone-in
.5 - 3.0 lb.
Arrange pieces with meatiest portions toward outside of glass dish or microwave safe
rack. After each stage, if there are warm or
thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let
stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
NOTE:
Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may UÊ
still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice
crystals are thawed.
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the UÊ
food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover
edges and thinner sections of the food.
Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Chart or
is above or below the limits in the amount column on the Defrost Chart,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by
using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found
under To Set Power Level on page 18. Estimate defrosting time and
Touch Power Level pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is
approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for
1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions
that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated
defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power
Level 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.
