Warnings & Safety

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

•Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.

•Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.

•Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

•Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.

•Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc., as this may create a fire hazard.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance to avoid spreading the flame.

•Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of

5

Warnings & Safety

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 selfclean 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.

About Your Appliance

•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.

•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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before replacing bulb.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

This appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Warnings & Safety

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

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

CAUTION

BURN HAZARD

The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot.

Danger of burning: DO NOT touch the glass!

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROP 65

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reporductive harm and requires busineses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide, during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood

CAUTION

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

NOTICE

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 Range Authorized Service Center before continuing operation. Failure to do so can result in damage to the oven or surrounding cabinets.

NOTICE

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

NOTICE

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.

WARNING

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.

Clocks and Timers

Electronic Timing Center

The Electronic Timing Center is used to program and control all timing functions. It has five display and programming modes that are activated by the four push buttons and the “SET” knob. Both the BAKE TIME mode and the MIN/SEC TIMER mode can be used to time cooking periods. These features can even be used at the same time when both ovens are in use.

However, only BAKE TIME and Self-Cleaning modes shut the oven off automatically when the timed program is over. For example, you can time bake a casserole in the upper oven using the BAKE TIME mode, while broiling in the lower oven using the MIN/SEC TIMER. One oven can also be cleaned while timing foods in the other oven using the MIN/SEC TIMER.
