Using the Oven
Rack Positions
Each oven is equipped with three heavy-duty racks, including two TruGlide™ racks. With the TruGlide™ racks, the bottom section
remains in the oven and the top section smoothly glides outward when pulled. This reduces the chances of spills from items that
contain a lot of juice or liquid. This rack can be used in any of the six rack positions.
All ovens have ve rack positions. Position 5 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The
racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, do not use more than one
rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions BEFORE heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack
positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
2. Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function. Cooking starts immediately and stops when the Oven Function selector is
turned to “OFF”.
3. Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.
4. Place the food in the oven after the oven indicator light goes out.

Preheat - Used in all Baking modes except Convection Bake
For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat your oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing food
items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the oven to the
preheat temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the oven during preheat mode is not recommended. The Viking Rapid
Ready™ Preheat System is engineered so that the oven is brought to the desired set temperature in a manner which will provide
the optimum cooking environment based on the selected cooking mode in the shortest possible time.
For instance, the preheat mode for TruConvec™ is designed to be brought up to the set point temperature in a di erent manner
than the preheat mode for BAKE. This is because TRUCONVEC is designed for multi-rack baking. So it is extremely critical that all
rack positions have reached the desired cooking temperature. As a result, it is normal for oven to take slightly longer for the oven
to preheat to 350°F (180ºC) in TRUCONVEC mode when compared to the amount of time it takes to preheat to 350°F (180ºC) in
BAKE mode.
Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors such as room temperature and power supply. A signi cantly colder
room temperature or a power supply less than 240 VAC can lengthen the time it takes for the oven to reach the desired set
temperature.
No Preheat Option - Convection Bake Mode only
• Turn oven to Convection Bake and select the desired temperature (lower temperature by 25 degrees for convection setting).
• Place the food item/dish in the oven on the middle oven rack (single rack baking only).
• Check food occasionally to monitor the cooking process. Most of the time, the food will cook for the same amount of time and
sometimes slightly faster than usual.
