Two element Baking
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency, some foods may be prepared
more successfully using the conventional bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is
recommended when preparing baked goods such as custard. Full power heat is radiated from the bake
element in the bottom of the oven cavity and supplemental heat is radiated from the broil element.
The user may nd other foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. It is
recommended to use this function for single-rack baking.
Baking Tips
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn on the oven.
• DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. If you must open the door, the best time is during
the last quarter of the baking time.
• Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in the
center of the item should come out clean when done.
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure best results. Cakes, quick breads, mu ns, and cookies should be baked in shiny,
re ective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans heat unevenly and
will not give uniform baking results.
• If baking with a large sheet pan, it is important to note that the large width of the sheet pan has the tendency to restrict the air ow in the oven
cavity. It is recommended to use Convection Bake to help better circulate the heat in the oven cavity when baking with a large sheet pan.
Using the Oven
two-element bake
To use BAKE function
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning oven on.
2. Set the oven selector knob to the BAKE function and set the oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature.
3. Close the door. Allow oven to preheat.
4. Once preheated, carefully place prepared item(s) on rack.
5. Close the door. Bake to desired cooking time and/or doneness.
Pan Placement Tips
• When using large (15” x 13”) at pans or trays that cover most of the rack, rack
positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use one of the
convection modes and the 2nd and 4th positions or the 3rd and 5th positions
for more even baking. When baking on three racks, use any combination of
positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more consistent results.
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans are used
in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly above another.
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even air
circulation.

Preheat
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 the 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 conventional 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 in TruConvec mode when compared to the amount of time it takes to preheat the oven
cavity to 350°F in conventional 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. Rapid Ready Preheat provides one of the fastest preheat times - so your oven is ready to begin cooking when you are.
