Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven

Getting Started

is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.

EXTENSION CORD

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualiﬁed electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

Note:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or

electrical instructions, consult a qualiﬁed electrician or service person.

2. Neither Viking Range, LLC nor the dealer can accept

any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

Information You Need To Know

Getting Started

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will inﬂuence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must not be blocked.

After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.

The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your microwave output is rated 850 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill, he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 25 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United

States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

TEMP FOOD

160˚F (71˚C) ...for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless

white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165˚F (74˚C) ...for leftover, ready-to-reheat

refrigerated, and deli and carry-out

“fresh” food. 170˚F (77˚C) ... white meat of poultry. 180˚F (82˚C) ... dark meat of poultry.

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.

• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or ﬁres.

• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook

Information You Need To Know

for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave

Getting Started

plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

• Shield with small ﬂat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

ABOUT FOOD

Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to ﬁnish cooking without overcooking.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and ﬂakes easily with a fork.

FOOD DO DON'T

• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”.

• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.

• Cook eggs in shells.

• Reheat whole eggs.

• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

Popcorn • Use specially bagged popcorn for the

microwave oven.

• Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Popcorn pad.

Baby food • Transfer baby food to small dish and heat

carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.

• Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.

General • Cut baked goods with ﬁlling after heating to

release steam and avoid burns.

• Stir liquids briskly before, during and after heating to avoid “eruption”.

• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.

• Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.

• Heat disposable bottles.

• Heat bottles with nipples on.

• Heat baby food in original jars.

• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers.

• Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.

• Deep fat fry.

• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

15. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound.

For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 3 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

Microwave Features

SENSOR COOKING

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities. It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. During the ﬁrst part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear and sensor cooking will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and select cooking time and power. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear on display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

4. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.

ERROR

5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly, be displayed, and the microwave oven will turn off.

6. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

7. At the end of any cycle, open the door or touch Stop/ Clear pad. The time of day will reappear on the display.

SELECTING FOODS:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.

2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power.

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately ½ inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turntable when baking potatoes.

will

4. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap

under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

REHEAT

TURNTABLE ON:

You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You don’t need to calculate reheating time or power level. To reheat food with turntable on, simply touch the Reheat pad.

• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili. Touch Reheat pad. When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,

remainder of reheating time will appear. After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.

TURNTABLE OFF:

You may reheat using a 11"x 8"x 2" or 13"x 9"x 2" casserole with the turntable off. First touch Turntable On/ Off and note indicator. Then touch Reheat. The display will indicate turntable off and microwave oven will start automatically. After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.

POPCORN

• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn: Touch Popcorn pad once. This sensor setting works well with most brands of

microwave popcorn. You may wish to try several and choose your favorite. Pop only one bag at a time. Unfold the bag and place in oven according to directions.

EE26E26E

Cleaning and Care

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the microwave oven during cleaning.

EXTERIOR

The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

DOOR

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch Stop/Clear pad.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch ﬁre. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT

The ceramic turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are also dishwasher-safe using top rack.

INTERIOR - AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

INTERIOR - AFTER CONVECTION, MIX OR BROIL COOKING

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if microwave oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it —not a soap ﬁlled steel pad—for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.

MICROWAVE OVEN RACKS

The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy cleaning and stored away from the microwave oven when racks are not needed. After each use, wash them in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a mild kitchen cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are dishwasher-proof.

The fan will automatically start when heat rises from the cooking surface and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used. This protects the microwave oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off manually during this time.

For other uses, select either high or low speed. PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE:

1. DO NOT leave cooking surface unattended while using high temperatures. Automatic fan may start and provide excessive air to the surface units. This may cause spattering or boilover.

2. Avoid burning food.

3. Keep grease ﬁlters clean.

Cleaning and Care

LIGHT

1. To replace light bulbs, ﬁrst disconnect power to the microwave oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.

2. To release cover remove the screw on the light cover. (See illustration.)

3. Replace bulbs with only 20 watt and 40 watt bulbs. These are available at most hardware stores or lighting centers. The unit will be shipped with one 20 watt bulb and one 40 watt bulb. DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN 40 WATTS.

4. Close light cover and secure with screw removed in step 2.

Cautions: Light cover may become very hot. Do not touch glass when light is on. Do not use light for long time use such as a night light.

GREASE FILTERS

Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or microwave oven without the ﬁlters in place.

1. Pull the ring toward the front of the microwave oven, down slightly and remove the ﬁlter. Repeat for the other ﬁlter.

2. Soak the ﬁlters in a sink or dish pan ﬁlled with hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali; they will react with the ﬁlter material and darken it.

3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embedded dirt.

4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.

5. Replace by ﬁtting the ﬁlter back into the opening.
