GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a gr ounding 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 pr oviding
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 mor e pr otected 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. Should
you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily 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 cor d 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 fr om 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
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 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 oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Vents on the 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 oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or
newspapers.
Your microwave output is rated 900 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 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 33 for
Child Lock feature.

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 pur chase.
Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A micr owave-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 oven
when accessories are used.
11
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 over cooked 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 with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking befor e 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.
12
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.

(82˚C)
•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 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from
walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

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 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking
on page 17. 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 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.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using sensor settings.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven
are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. Reheat and Popcor n can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking,
opening and closing the door or touching the Stop/Clear pad.
4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the
display . Do not open the 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. T o continue cooking, touch the Stop/
Clear pad and select cooking time and variable power.
19
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of
cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as
desired.
5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed,
continue to cook with variable power and time.
6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the
oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when using sensor reheat,
displayed, and the oven will turn off.
7. Any Sensor Cooking mode can be programmed with More or Less Time
Adjustment. See page 32.
8. Each food has a cooking hint. T ouch HELP when the HELP indicator is lighted
in the display.
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. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be reheated 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 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to 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.

MANUAL CONVECTION AND
AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING
This section gives you specific cooking instructions and procedures. Please
consult your Viking Convection Microwave Cookbook for helpful hints for
convection and combination cooking.
The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should
never be restricted so that it cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable
when preheating the oven and when preparing food to be cooked directly on
the turntable.
Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks
and dishes will become hot. T o PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when
removing the food or turntable from the oven.
CONVECTION COOKING
During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity
to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly. This oven can be programmed
for ten different convection cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes,

Broil
Preheating is automatic when the Broil setting is used. Only actual cooking
time is entered; the oven signals when it is preheated to 450˚F. Oven temperature cannot be changed. Use Broil setting for steaks, chops, chicken pieces
and many other foods. See Convection Broiling Chart in cookbook.
• Suppose you want to broil a steak for 15 minutes:
1. Touch Broil pad.
2. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads 1500.

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING
This oven has two pre-programmed settings that make it easy to cook with
both convection heat and microwave automatically.
Oven temperature Microwave power
High mix/Roast 300˚F 30%
Low mix/Bake 350˚F 10%
With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone,
most foods are well suited to mix cooking using either Low mix/Bake or High
mix/Roast.
The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and
tender cakes and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of
browning and crispness.
The temperatures can be changed; however, the microwave power cannot.
The oven temperature can be changed from 100˚F to 450˚F. To change the
temperature, first touch High mix or Low mix then touch the same pad
again. When the display says SELECT TEMP, touch desired temperature
pad. Ex: High mix, High mix pad, 7. The mix temperature will change to
375˚F automatically.
