Important Safety Notice and Warning
Getting Started
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some
low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon
monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly
venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in
the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the
kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven door, areas around the oven door, and oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can
result in potential hazards and/or injuries.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
About Your Appliance
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to
prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also,
DO NOT use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
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.
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet finishes, use only
materials and finishes that will not discolor or delaminate and will
withstand temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Heat and moisture resistant
adhesive must be used if the product is to be installed in laminated
cabinetry. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that
the materials meet these requirements.
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the
any vents above or below the doors.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after
oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area
become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT
touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time
to cool.

This appliance features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the
oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and
deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle.
Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of
these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.

BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual.
Therefore, children should be kept away.
Warnings & Safety
BURN HAZARD
The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. Danger of
burning: DO NOT touch the glass!
To avoid sickness and food waste when using automatic time baking:
• DO NOT use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start, such
as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, custards, fish, pork, poultry,
or foods with stuffing.
• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold or
frozen before it is placed in the oven.
• DO NOT use foods containing baking powder or yeast with automatic
time baking. They will not rise properly.
• DO NOT allow food to remain in the oven for more than 2 hours after
the end of the cooking cycle.
• To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to
remain in the oven for more than 2 hours.
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 highdensity 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-CLEAN CYCLE.
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to
ensure that it does not catch fire.
The cooling fan should be operating when the unit is in operation.
If you notice the cooling fan is not operating or you observe unusual
or excessive noise coming from the cooling fan, contact a Viking
Authorized Service Center before continuing operation. Failure to do
so can result in damage to the oven or surrounding cabinets.
Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need to be unobstructed
and open to provide proper airflow for optimal oven performance.
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning
the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
