WARNING
A GFI shall be used if required by NFPA-70 (National Electric Code), federal/state/local
laws, or local ordinances.
• The required use of a GFI is normally related to the location of a receptacle with respect to
any significant sources of water or moisture.
• Viking Range Corporation will NOT warranty any problems resulting from GFI outlets which
are not installed properly or do not meet the requirements below.
If the use of a GFI is required
• Of the receptacle type (breaker type or portable type NOT recommended)
• Used with permanent wiring only (temporary or portable wiring NOT recommended)
• On a dedicated circuit (no other receptacles, switches or loads in the circuit)
• Connected to a standard breaker of appropriate size (GFI breaker of the same size NOT
recommended)
• Rated for Class A (5 mA +/- 1 mA trip current) as per UL 943 standard
• In good condition and free from any loose-fitting gaskets (if applicable in outdoor situations)
• Protected from moisture (water, steam, high humidity) as much as reasonably possible
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
resistant adhesive must be used if the
product is to be installed in laminated
cabinetry. Check with your builder or

ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
To avoid risk of electrical shock,
personal injury or death; verify
your appliance has been properly
grounded in accordance with local codes
or in absence of codes, with the National
Electrical Code (NEC). ANSI/NFPA-70 –
latest edition.
MOVING HAZARD
To avoid risk of severe
personal injury; this appliance
requires two or more personnel while
handling and moving. Possible use of
appliance moving devices is recommended.
TIPPING HAZARD
• THIS RANGE CAN TIP.
• A CHILD OR ADULT CAN
TIP THE RANGE AND BE
KILLED.
• FAILURE TO INSTALL THE
ANTI-TIP DEVICE CAN
RESULT IN DEATH OR
SERIOUS BURNS TO
CHILDREN OR ADULTS.
• IF THE RANGE IS MOVED THEN THE
ANTI-TIP DEVICE MUST BE
RE-ENGAGED.
TIPPING HAZARD
To reduce the risk of the
appliance tipping, it must be
secured by a properly installed
anti-tip bracket(s). To make
sure the bracket has been
installed properly, look behind
the range with a flashlight to
verify proper installation
engaged in the rear top left corner of the
range or under the range to verify that a floor

with the unit. Refer to
“Anti-tip Device Installation”
section.
Some stainless steel parts
may have a plastic protective
wrap which must be peeled
off. The interior should be
washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to
remove film residues and any dust or debris
before being used, then rinsed and wiped
dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water
are rarely needed.
Installation
To avoid risk of personal injury or product
damages, DO NOT use the handle or
oven door to lift the oven. Remove door
before installation to ensure that it is not
used to lift the unit. DO NOT lift or carry
the door by the handle.
Removing the door must be done by your
dealer, or a qualified licensed plumber.
Door Removal

Final Preparation
NOTICE
Service & Registration
• All stainless steel body parts should be
wiped with hot, soapy water and with a
liquid cleaner designed for this material.
If buildup occurs, DO NOT use steel wool,
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders!
If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel
to remove encrusted materials, soak with
hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then
use a wool or nylon scraper. DO NOT use
a metal knife, spatula, or any other
material tool to scrape stainless steel!
Scratches are almost impossible to
remove.
Performance Checklist
A qualified installer should carry out the
following checks:
h
Check top surface elements—glow red
when turned on.
h
Check hot surface indicator lights—glow
red when corresponding element is on.
h
Check oven bake function—bake element
on full power, center and outside broil
elements at partial power.
h
Convection bake function—bake and broil
elements the same with the convection fan
on.
h
Check self-clean function—door will lock
in approximately 30 seconds, the center
and outside broil elements will turn on and
the bake element will turn on at partial
power. Check broil elements through
window to make sure they are on, then
abort self-clean cycle to unlock door.
When conducting performance test,
DO NOT run self-clean cycle for more
than 10 minutes with oven racks inside
oven. This could cause them to discolor
due to the high temperature required
for self-cleaning.
Only authorized replacement parts may be used in performing service on the appliance.
All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
