Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Interior Oven
Your Viking oven features an automatic, self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in
order to burn off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off. A
powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the Self-Clean Cycle.
The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the Self-Clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot be
opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.
Before Using the Self-Clean Cycle:
• Remove the oven racks and any other items/utensils from the oven. The high heat generated during the cleaning
cycle can discolor, warp, and damage these items.
• Do not use foil or liners in the oven during the Self-Clean Cycle.
• Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides.
• Never use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the oven door.
• Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and
very difficult to clean if not removed first.
• Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and up to two inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Using the Self-Clean Cycle
1. Close the door completely.
2. Select “UPPER OVEN” or “LOWER OVEN.” “SELECT MODE” will appear in the display for the selected oven.
3. Press “SELF CLEAN” from the oven function control panel.
4. Press “SET” or “ENTER.” At this time, “SELF CLEAN” will appear in the display. The door lock indicator light will
remain on until the Self-Clean is completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature.
A complete cycle takes approximately 3 1/2 hours, with an additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down
enough for the door latch to disengage. NOTE: A whirring fan noise will be heard during the Self-Clean Cycle and
will continue to run for the 3 1/2 hour duration of the Self-Clean Cycle.
5. The timer will count down from 4 hours. When the cycle is completed, press the “OFF” button for the selected oven.
6. When the oven has completely cooled, open the door and remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
7. To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, press the “OFF” button for the selected oven.
CAUTION
Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning
cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the
touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,
there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the
binder in the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the
insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During
subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor
characteristic of high temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-
vented during the self-cleaning cycle.
WARNING
Burn or Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
