as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven and contact your dealer or VIKING AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

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

Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.

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 receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.

Note:

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 mi-

crowave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct 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, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check the position and signal of the receiving antenna.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This 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 cooking 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 microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.

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 condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must not be blocked.

After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.

The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your microwave output is rated 850 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food at 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 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, he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 35 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT FOOD

FOOD DO DON'T

Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables

• Puncture egg yolks

before cooking to prevent “explosion”.

• Pierce skins of potatoes,

apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.

Popcorn (See page 24 for speciﬁc cooking instructions)

• Use specially bagged

popcorn for the microwave oven.

• Listen while popping corn

for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Popcorn pad.

Baby food • Transfer baby food to small

dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.

• Put nipples on bottles

after heating and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.

• Cook eggs in shells.

• Reheat whole eggs.

• Dry nuts or seeds

in shells.

• Pop popcorn in

regular brown bags or glass bowls.

• Exceed maximum time

on popcorn package.

• Heat disposable bottles.

• Heat bottles with

nipples on.

• Heat baby food

in original jars.

General • Cut baked goods with lling

after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

• Stir liquids briskly before,

during and after heating to avoid “eruption”.

• Use deep bowl, when

cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

• Heat or cook in

closed glass jars or air tight containers.

• Can in the microwave

as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.

• Deep fat fry.

• Dry wood, gourds,

herbs or wet papers.

DISH CHECK If 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. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.

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 when using microwave-only cooking. 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 spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

• Shield any thin areas of meat or poultry with small ﬂat pieces of aluminum foil 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.

TEMP FOOD

160˚F (71˚C) For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry,

ﬁsh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165˚F (74˚C) For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated,

and deli and carry-out “fresh” food.

170˚F (77˚C) White meat of poultry.

180˚F (82˚C) Dark meat of poultry.

• 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 res.

• 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 1 inch away from walls, ceiling

and door of microwave oven.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking Microwave on page 19. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the microwave 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 3 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 COOKING

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.

It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. During the ﬁrst part of sensor cooking, 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 and sensor cooking will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and select cooking time and power. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear on display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

4. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.

5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly, the microwave oven will turn off.

6. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

7. At the end of any cycle, open the door or touch Stop/Clear pad. The time of day will reappear on the display.

ERROR

will be displayed, and

SELECTING FOODS:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.

2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power.

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately ½ inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turntable when baking potatoes.

4. 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.

REHEAT

TURNTABLE ON:

You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You don’t need to calculate reheating time or power level. To reheat food with turntable on, simply touch the Reheat pad.

• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili.

Touch Reheat pad. When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating

time will appear. After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.

TURNTABLE OFF:

You may reheat using a 11"x 8"x 2" or 13"x 9"x 2" casserole with the turntable off. First touch Turntable On/Off and note indicator. Then touch Reheat. The display will indicate turntable off and microwave oven will start automatically. After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.

POPCORN

• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn.

Touch Popcorn pad once. This sensor setting works well with most brands of microwave popcorn. You

may wish to try several and choose your favorite. Pop only one bag at a time. Unfold the bag and place in oven according to directions.
