lement.This functionis recommendedfor singlerack
baking.Many cookbookscontainrecipes tobe cookedin
theconventional manner.Conventional baking/roastingis
particularlysuitablefor dishesthat require ahigh
temperature.Use thissettingfor baking,roasting,
andcasseroles.
CONV BAKE
(Convection
Bake)
Thebottom element
operatesat fullpower,
andthe topbroil
elementoperates at
supplementalpower.
Theheated airis
circulatedby themotorizedfan inthe rearof theoven
providinga moreeven heatdistribution.This even
circulationof airequalizesthe temperaturethroughoutthe
ovencavity andeliminates the hotand coldspots foundin
conventionalovens. Amajor benefitof convectionbakingis
theability toprepare food inquantity using multiple
racks—afeature notpossiblein astandard oven.
Whenroasting usingthis setting, cool airis quickly
replaced,searing meats onthe outside andretainingmore
juicesand naturalflavor onthe inside withless shrinkage.
Withthis heatingmethod, foods canbe bakedand roasted
at the sametime with minimal tastetransfer,even when
differentdishes are involved, suchas cakes, fishor meat.
Thehot airsystem isespecially economicalwhen thawing
frozenfood. Usethis setting forbaking and roasting.
TRU CONV

Preheat
For bestresults, itis
extremely important
that youpreheat your
oven tothe desired
cooking temperature
before placingfood items
in theoven tobegin cooking. In
many cookingmodes, partialpower
from thebroiler isused to bringthe
oven tothe preheattemperature.
Therefore, placingfood itemsin the oven
during thepreheat modeis not recommended.The
Viking RapidReady™ PreheatSystem is engineered
so thatthe ovenis brought tothe desiredset
temperature ina mannerwhich will providethe
optimum cookingenvironment basedon the selected
cooking modein theshortest possible time.

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.
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.
Important Safety Noticeand Warning
T
he CaliforniaSafe DrinkingWater andToxic
E
nforcementAct of 1986(Proposition 65)requires the
Governor ofCalifornia topublish alist ofsubstances
known tothe Stateof Californiato causecancer or
reproductiveharm, and requires businessesto warn
customers of potential exposuresto suchsubstances.
U
sers ofthis applianceare herebywarned thatwhen
t
he ovenis engagedin theself-clean cycle,there may
b
e somelow-level exposureto someof thelisted
substances,including carbon monoxide. Exposureto
these substances canbe minimizedby properly
venting the ovento theoutdoors by opening the
windows and/or doorin theroom wherethe appliance
is locatedduring theself-clean cycle.
Important noticeregarding pet birds:
NEVER keeppet birdsin the kitchenor inrooms
where the fumesfrom thekitchen couldreach. Birds
have avery sensitiverespiratory system.Fumes

About YourAppliance
• Avoid touchingoven vent areawhile ovenis onand
for several minutesafter ovenis turned off. When
the ovenis inuse, thevent and surrounding area
become hotenough tocause burns.After ovenis
turned off, DONOT touch theoven ventor
surroundingareas untilthey have hadsufficient time
to cool.
• Other potentiallyhot surfaces include rangetop,
areas facing therange top,oven vent,surfaces near
the ventopening, ovendoor, areas aroundthe oven
door andoven window.
• The misuse ofoven doors(e.g. stepping,sitting,
or leaningon them)can resultin potentialhazards
and/or injuries.
Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic
Cooking Surfaces
•
Surface areason oradjacent to theunit maybe hot
enough tocause burns.
• NEVER touch oven heatingelements, areasnear
elements, orinterior surfacesof oven.
• Heating elements maybe hot eventhough theyare
d
ark incolor. Areasnear elementsand interior
s
urfaces ofan ovenmay become hotenough to
c
ause burns.
• During and afteruse, DO NOTtouch or letclothing
or otherflammable materialcontact surface ofunit
or areasnear unit,heating elements, orinterior
surfaces ofoven untilthey have hadsufficient time

• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING
SURFACE –If cooking surfaceshould break,
cleaning solutionsand spilloversmay penetrate the
broken cookingsurface andcreate a riskof electric
shock. Contacta qualifiedtechnician immediately.
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.
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
VikingAuthorized Service Center before
continuing operation. Failure to do so can result in
damage to the oven or surrounding cabinets.
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.
