BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage abovethe

C A U T I O N
Before placing the cooktop intooperation,
always check for gas leakswith a soapy
water solution or other acceptablemethod.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
A qualified installershould carryout thefollowing
checks:
hCheck top burner ignition.The lowflame should
light at everyport.
hStarting with the left
front burner,tur n the corresponding knob to theHI
position – seedrawing forproper flameheight.
IMPORTANT:Any conversionrequired must be
performed byyour dealeror aqualified licensed
plumber or gasservice company.The proper
conversion kit mustbe orderedfrom your
authorized service agencyor dealer.
hRepeat steps for other burners.
Surface Operation
Lighting Burners
A
ll burners areignited
b
y electric ignition.
There are no open-flame,
“standing” pilots.
Surface Burners/
Automatic Re-Ignition
T
o light thesurface burners,push andturn the
a
ppropriate control knob counter clockwiseto any
position. This control is botha gasvalve andan
electric switch. Burnerswill igniteat any“ON”
position with theautomatic re-ignitionsystem. Ifthe
flame goes outfor anyreason, theburners will
automatically re-ignite if thegas isstill flowing.When
gas is permittedto flowto theburners, the electric
igniters start sparking.On allsurface ignitersyou
should hear a“clicking” sound.If youdo not,tur n off
the control and checkthat theunit isplugged inand
that the fuseor circuitbreaker isnot blownor tripped.
Within afew moments,enough gaswill havetraveled
to the burnerto light.When theburner lights, turn
the burner controlto anyposition toadjust theflame
size. Setting theproper flameheight forthe desired
cooking process and selectingthe correctcooking
vessel will result in superiorcooking performance,
while also savingtime andenergy. Ifany oneor more
surface burners orgrill burnersextinguish, the
electronic igniter automatically activatesto re-lightthe
flame. DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNERS WHEN THE
IGNITERS ARE ACTIVE.
It is notuncommon tosee extinguishedflames, when:
• Proper ventilationis not used
• When theoven door is opened orclosed rapidly
• When spilloverof liquids or foods occur
• When theincorrect gas or impure gas is used
Surface Cooking Tips
• Use low or medium flameheights whencooking in
vessels that are poor conductorsof heat,such as
glass, ceramic, andcast-iron. Reducethe flame
height until itcovers approximately1/3 ofthe
cooking vessel diameter.This will ensure more even
heating within thecooking vesseland reducethe
likelihood of burningor scorchingthe food.
• Reduce the flame if itis extendingbeyond the
bottom of thecooking vessel.A flamethat extends
along the sidesof thevessel ispotentially
dangerous, heats the utensilhandle andkitchen
instead of thefood, andwastes energy.
•
Reduce the flameheight tothe minimumlevel
necessary to performthe desiredcooking process.
Remember that foodcooks justas quicklyat a
gentle boil asit doesat arolling boil.Maintaining a
higher boil thanis necessarywastes energy,cooks
a
way moisture, and causesa lossin foodflavor and
n
utrient level.
•
The minimum potor pan(vessel) diameter
recommended is 6” (15cm). Useof potsor pansas
small as 4”(10 cm)is possiblebut not
recommended.

VariSimmer™
Simmering is acooking techniquein whichfoods are
cooked in hotliquids keptat orjust barelybelow the
boiling point ofwater. Simmering ensures gentler
treatment than boiling toprevent foodfrom
toughening and/or breaking up. Thesize ofthe pan
and the volumeof foodcan havea significanteffect
on how highor lowa flameis neededfor simmering.
For this reason, Viking rangeand rangetopburners
are engineered with a VariSimmer setting. The
VariSimmer setting is not just onesimmer setting,but
provides a variable rangeof simmersettings. This
variable range ofsimmer settingsallows youto adjust
the flame heightto achievethe bestsimmer
depending on thetype andquantity offood being
simmered. It is thisability thatmakes theVariSimmer
setting the mostaccurate andtrustworthy simmeron
the market.
TruPower Plus™ Burner (whereapplicable)
Certain model rangesare equippedwith aTruPower
Plus 18,500 BTUburner inthe frontright burner
position. This burneris designedto provideextrahigh heat output,especially whenusing largepans,
and should beused forboiling largequantities orif
you need tobring somethingto aboil quickly.While
the TruPowerPlus burner has theextra powerneeded
to bring large quantities ofliquid toa boilrapidly, itis
also able tobe turneddown lowenough to provide a
very low anddelicate simmermaking thisburner the
most versatile onthe market.
A
ll products are wiped cleanwith solventsat the
f
actory to remove any visiblesigns ofdirt, oil,and
g
rease which may haveremained fromthe
manufacturing process. Before starting tocook, clean
the rangetop thoroughly with hot,soapy water. There
may be someburn offand odorson firstuse of the
appliance—this is normal.
Cooking Vessels
E
ach cook hashis orher ownpreference forthe
particular cooking vesselsthat aremost appropriate
for the typeof cookingbeing done.Any andall
cooking vessels are suitable foruse inthe rangeand it
is not necessaryto replaceyour presentdomestic
vessels with commercial cookware. This isa matterof
personal choice. Aswith anycookware, yoursshould
be in goodcondition andfree fromexcessive dents
on the bottomto providemaximum performanceand
convenience.
Note: When using big pots and/or high flames, it is
recommended to use the front burners. There is more
room in the front and potential cleanup at rear of
appliance due to staining or discoloration will be
minimized.

Char-Grill Operation
• Turnthe overheadventilation on priorto turningthe
grillon.
• Turnthe grillknob counterclockwiseto “HI”.
• Alwayspreheat the grillfor 5-10minutes before
placingfood onthe grillgrate.
• Placefood itemson thegrill, cookas desired.
• Toturn thegrilloff, turnthe grill knobclockwise to
the“OFF” position.
Char-Grill Cooking Tips
• Whengrilling chicken,roasts, well-donesteaks or
chops,and thickpieces ofmeat, searon “HI”. Then,
reducethe heatsettingto preventexcessiveflare-up.
Thiswill allowthe foodto cookthrough without
burningthe outside.
• Aftersteaks, chops,or hamburgers havebeen
allowedto searfor approximatelyone minute,you
mayslide aspatula underthe meatand turnit
approximately90 degreesto createa wafflepattern.
• Usea metalspatula insteadof tongsor afork toturn
themeat. Aspatula willnot puncturethe meat
allowingjuices toescape.
• Turnthe meat overonly once.Juices arelost when
steaks,chops orhamburgersare turnedseveraltimes.
Thebest timeto turnthe meatis afterthe juices have
begunto bubbleto thesurface.
• Totest for doneness,make asmall slashin thecenter
of themeat, notthe edge.This willprevent lossof
juices.
• Occasionallytheremay beflare-ups or flamesabove
thegrill dueto drops offat fallingon the flavorgeneratorplates. Use along handledspatula tomove
foodto anotherarea untilthe flamessubside.
• Forease ofcleaning, leavethe char-grillon for10
minuteswhen finishedgrilling. Thiswill helpmake
