Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven
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
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. Should you only
have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install
a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used
temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
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.
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
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Installation/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 microwave oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be
warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
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 oven is rated 900 watts by using the IEC
Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the minimum time and
add time accordingly.
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.
TEMP 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 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 Safety Lock feature.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.

Information You Need To Know
• 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
for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave
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.
• 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.
ABOUT FOOD
FOOD DO DON'T
Eggs, sausages,
nuts, seeds, fruits
& vegetables
• 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.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the
“Amount” column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to
defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step
procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate
defrosting time and press
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 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.

Operation
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.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
sensor settings.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with
a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. Reheat and Popcorn can only be entered within 1
minute after cooking, opening and closing the door
or touching the Stop/Clear pad.
4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name
will appear on the display. Do not open the 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. To continue
cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and select cooking
time and variable power.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may
be opened when remaining cooking time appears on
the display. At this time, you may stir or season food,
as desired.
5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook with variable power
and time.
6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the
correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does
not detect vapor properly when using sensor reheat,
ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
7. Any Sensor Cooking mode can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 25.
8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP when the
HELP indicator is lighted in 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. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be reheated
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. 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
You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You
don't need to calculate reheating time or power level.
• 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.
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.

OVEN
TEMPERATURE
High mix/Roast 300˚F 30%
Low mix/Bake 350˚F 10%
With the exception of those foods that cook best by
convection heating alone, most foods are well suited to
mix cooking using either Low mix/Bake or High mix/Roast.
The marriage of these two cooking methods produces
juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and fine textured
breads, all with just the right amount of browning and
crispness.
The temperatures can be changed; however, the
microwave power cannot.
The oven temperature can be changed from 100˚F to
450˚F. To change the temperature, first touch High mix
or Low mix then touch the same pad again. When the

HELPFUL HINTS FOR CONVECTION AND
AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING
Your Convection Microwave Oven can cook any food
perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook:
microwave only, automatic mix, convection only or broil.
The cookbook that comes with your oven has excellent
instructions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help
you get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until
you are familiar with it. This Operation Manual tells you
how to program the oven.
The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place.
Never restrict the movement of the turntable.
Convection Cooking:
1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or
removed. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking
in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turntable
for preheat.
Place high rack on turntable along with foods. When
preheat is over, open oven door and quickly place
turntable, high rack and foods to be baked inside.
2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not
have extended handles.
4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled
appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.

EEE24E24E
Operation
Manual Convection and Automatic Mix Cooking
Automatic Mix Cooking:
1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack.
A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be
made from the drippings.
2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized
using oven cooking bags.
3. When baking, check for doneness after time has
elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven a
few minutes to complete cooking.
Note:
During mix baking some metal baking utensils may cause
arcing when they come in contact with the turntable, oven
walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity
that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.
®
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex
pie
plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between the pan
and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs with other metal
baking utensils, discontinue their use for mix cooking.

Product Care
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.
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.
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 turntable, turntable support and racks can be
removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy
water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a nonabrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof.
Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will
cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not
cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills
occur, wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water
or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
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 oven
is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high
tempera-ture 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.
After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may
be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply
operating the oven on 450˚F for 20 minutes without food.
Ventilate the room if necessary.
