Mix Bar Keepers Friend® and water to make a paste. Coat area to be cleaned and leave for 30 minutes. Scrub the burner head with the green 3M® pad. It’s best to put the burner head on a hard surface with a towel under it, so it doesn’t scratch the surface. Apply pressure when scrubbing. Right side was cleaned using this method. NOTE: Not guaranteed to remove all stains. Stain strength varies depending on type of spill, temperature of burner head when spill occurred, length of time spill remained on burner, etc. Refer to the Viking 7 Series Range Burner Head Cleaning for more information

The protective coating must be removed before the 5 series range and rangetop griddle can be seasoned. Scrub the griddle plate with a mixture of one quart warm water and 1/4 cup white vinegar, using a blue Scotch-Brite™ pad. Dry thoroughly. Wash griddle with warm, soapy water. Rinse off and dry thoroughly. Season the griddle by thinly coating the surface with approximately 1/2 to 1 teaspoon unsalted vegetable oil. Apply to entire griddle using a paper towel or clean cloth. Let oil sit on griddle for approximately 1 hour and then wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb any residual oil. The griddle is now ready to be used.

The 7 series range and rangetop griddles do not have a protective coating on them and does not have to seasoned before use.

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your cooktop must be kept clean. Make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
For heavy, burned soil:
1. Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade. Hold the blade at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.
3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.
4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier.
Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore, make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to staining.
