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 cook-

ing 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 micro-
wave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magne-
tron 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 oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as

uncovered ones. Vents on the 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 oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or

newspapers.

Your microwave output is rated 900 watts using the lEG 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 cov-

erings 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 33 for

Child Lock feature,

DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the

empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds, If the dish

becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving,

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase,

Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs, A micro-
wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and
assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using

microwave-only cooking, Viking is not responsible for any damage to the oven
when accessories are used.

11

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 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 poul-
try 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.

12

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.

• 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.

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 Time Cooking
on page 17, 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 approxi-

mately 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.

ner sections of the food.

SENSOR COOKING

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and
humidity) emitted from 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,

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 vari-
able 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 1/2 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 calcu-
late 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.

20

POPCORN

• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn:

1. Place bag on overturned 9" glass pie plate.

2. 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.

MANUAL CONVECTION AND

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING

This section gives you specific cooking instructions and procedures, Please

consult your Viking Convection Microwave Cookbook for helpful hints for
convection and combination cooking.

The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should

never be restricted so that it cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable

when preheating the oven and when preparing food to be cooked directly on
the turntable.

Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks
and dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when
removing the food or turntable From the oven.

CONVECTION COOKING

During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity

to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly. This oven can be programmed
for ten different convection cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes,

99 seconds.

Broil

Preheating is automatic when the Broil setting is used. Only actual cooking
time is entered; the oven signals when it is preheated to 450T. Oven tempera-
ture cannot be changed. Use Broil setting for steaks, chops, chicken pieces
and many other foods. See Convection Broiling Chart in cookbook.

• Suppose you want to broil a steak for 15 minutes:

1. Touch Broil pad.

2. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads E_]E_[_[_.

3. Touch Start/Touch On pad. No food in oven.

When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, a signal will sound
4 times _.

4. Open the door. Place food in oven. Close the door. Touch Start/Touch On
pad.

If the oven door is not opened, the oven will automatically hold at the

preheat temperature for 30 minutes. After this time has elapsed, an audible
signal will sound and the oven will turn off.

Note:

1. Preheating for broil may take from 7 to 10 minutes depending on tempera-
ture of room and available power.

2. Although time is usually set for the maximum broiling time, always check
food at the minimum time recommended in the chart of cookbook, This

will eliminate the need to completely reprogram the oven if additional
cooking time is needed. Simply close the oven door and touch Start/
Touch On to continue.

Slow Cook

Slow Cook is preset at 300_F for 4 hours. The temperature can be changed
to below 300_F. The cooking time cannot be changed, This feature can be

used for foods such as baked beans or marinated chuck steak.

• Suppose you want to change oven temperature from 300_F to 27EF:

2. Touch Slow Cook pad once more if you want to change the temperature
from 300_F.

3. Touch temperature pad _.

4. Touch Start/Touch On pad,

Note: If you do not change the temperature, omit steps 2 and 3.

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING

This oven has two pre-programmed settings that make it easy to cook with
both convection heat and microwave automatically.

Oven temperature Microwave power

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 display says SELECT TEMP, touch desired temperature
pad. Ex: High mix, High mix pad, [_. The mix temperature will change to
37EF automatically.
