BAKE (Two­ElementBake)

F

ullpower heatis
radiatedfrom the
bakeelement in
thebottom ofthe
ovencavity and
s

upplementalheat is
r

adiatedfrom the
b

roilelement. This conventionalbaking/roasting is
particularlysuitablefor disheswhich requirea high
temperature.Many cookbookscontain recipes to be cooked
in theconventional manner.Use thissetting for baking,
roasting,and casseroles.This functionis recommendedfor
singlerack baking.

CONV BAKE
(Convection
Bake)

Thebottom element
operatesat full
power,and the top
broilelement
operatesat
supplementalpower.
Theheated airis circulated by themotorized fanin the rear
of theoven providinga more evenheat distribution. This
evencirculation of air equalizes thetemperature throughout
theoven cavityand eliminatesthe hotand coldspots found
in conventionalovens. A major benefitof convection baking
is theability toprepare foodin quantityusing multiple
racks—afeature not possible in a standardoven.

Whenroasting using this setting, cool airis quicklyreplaced,
searingmeats onthe outside and retainingmore juices and
naturalflavor onthe insidewith lessshrinkage.W iththis
heatingmethod, foods can bebaked androasted atthe
sametime withminimal tastetransfer, even whendifferent
dishesare involved, such ascakes,fish ormeat. Thehot air
systemis especially economical whenthawing frozen food.
Usethis settingfor baking and roasting.

TRU CONV
(TruConvec™)

Therear elementonly
operatesat fullpower.
Thereis nodirect
heatfrom thebottom
or topelements. The
motorizedfan inthe
rearof theoven
circulatesair inthe
ovencavity foreven heating. Usethis settingfor foods that
requiregentle cooking such as pastries,souffles, yeast

b

reads,quick breads, and cakes.Breads, cookies, and other

b

akedgoods comeout evenly texturedwith goldencrusts.

N

o specialbakeware isrequired.Use thisfunctionfor single
rackbaking, multiple rack baking, roasting,and preparation
of completemeals. This setting is also recommendedwhen
bakinglarge quantities of bakedgoods atone time.

CONV ROAST(Convection Roast)

T

he convection
e

lementruns in
conjunctionwith the
innerand outerbroil
elements.The
reversibleconvection
fanruns ata higher
speedin each
direction.This transfer
of heat(mainly from
theconvection element) seals moistureinside oflargeroasts.
A timesavings isgained over existing,single fanconvection
roastmodes. Usethis settingfor wholeturkeys,whole
chickens,hams, etc.

CONV BROIL(Convection Broil)

Thetop element
operatesat fullpower.
Thisfunction isexactly
thesame asregular
broilingwith the
additionalbenefit of air
circulationby the
motorizedfan inthe
rearof theoven. Smoke
is reducedsince the
airflowalso reduces peak temperatureson thefood. Use this
settingfor broiling thick cuts of meats.

HI BROIL

Heatradiates from both
broilelements, located
in thetop ofthe oven
cavity,at full power.
Thedistance between
thefoods andthe broil
elementsdetermines
broilingspeed. For fast
broiling,food may be
as closeas 2inches (5cm) to the broil elementor onthe top
rack.Fast broiling isbest for meatswhere rareto medium
donenessis desired. Use this setting for broilingsmall and
averagecuts ofmeat.

For best results,it
is extremely
important that you
preheat your ovento
the desired cooking
temperature before placing
food items inthe ovento begin
c

ooking. In manycooking modes,
partial power fromthe broileris usedto
bring the ovento thepreheat temperature.Therefore,
placing food itemsin theoven duringthe preheat
mode is notrecommended. TheViking Rapid
Ready™ Preheat Systemis engineeredso thatthe
oven is broughtto thedesired settemperature ina
manner which willprovide theoptimum cooking
environment based onthe selectedcooking modein
the shortest possibletime.

Surface Indicator Lights

The surface indicatorlights are
located at the
front of the
glass cooktop.
The indicator
lights are used
to indicate
activation, hot
surface, and warnings.

Induction Cookware

Induction cooking utilizesmagnetic powerwhich
reacts with ironin thebase ofcookware, instantly
transforming thepot orpan intothe heatsource.
The heat stopswhen thecookware isremoved. Your
cookware MUST havea magneticlayer ofsteel for
your induction cooktopto operateproperly. The
cookware should havea flat,heavy magneticbottom
and straight sideswith adiameter of5” (13 cm) to
12” (31 cm)to accommodatethe varioussized
elements. The inductioncookware shouldbe in
good condition andfree fromexcessive dentson
the bottom toprovide maximumperformance and
convenience.

All Viking cookwareis inductionfriendly, asare most
other high-end brandsof stainlesssteel andenamel

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.

C A U T I O N

Toavoid sickness and food waste, DO NOTallow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than
two hours.

W A R N I N G

This range 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.

C A U T I O N

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 high-density
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.

KEEPTHE KITCHENWELL-VENTED DURING
THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

C A U T I O N

Youmust carefully check the food during the
dehydration process to ensure that it does not
catch fire.

C A U T I O N

BURN HAZARD

When self-cleaning, surfaces may get
hotter than usual. Therefore, children
should be kept away.

C A U T I O N

DO NOT storeitems of interest to children over
the unit. Ch ildren climbing to reach item s could
be seriously injured.

W A R N I N G

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
range top or oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.

C A U T I O N

DO NOT heatempty cookware or let cookware boil
dry.The cookware can absorb an excessive
amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible
damage to the cookware and ceramic glass.

C A U T I O N

Toavoid risk of propertydamage, DO NOT use cast
iron cookware. Cast iron retains heat and may
result in damage to the range top.

C A U T I O N

Toprevent 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.

N O T I C E

Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need
to be unobstructed and open to provide proper
airflow for optimal oven performance.

N O T I C E

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.
