Cooking Vessels
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use in the range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels with commercial
cookware. This a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on
the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.
Note: When using big pots, it is recommended to use the front elements. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup of rear of
appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.
Surface Operation
Choosing the Correct Cookware
INCORRECT CORRECT
Cookware must be centered and fully contact the
surface of the cooking element.
Use at-bottomed pans
Pans should meet or exceed the recommended
minimum size for the cooking element used.
Make sure pans sit completely on the cooktop surface
and not on the cooktop trim.
Cookware should be properly balanced. Pans with
heavy handles will tilt.
DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The
cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very
quickly, resulting in possible damge to the cookware and
ceramic glass.
CAUTION

Surface Operation
About the Cooktop Surface Elements
Single radiant elements will have one round outline pattern shown on the cooktop and should be used when cooking
with smaller cooking vessels. Dual radiant elements allows the user to set the smaller inner element alone or both the
inner and outer elements may be used together when using medium to larger sized cookware. Triple element allows
the use to set the smaller inner element, both inner and middle elements or all three elements if using larger sized
cookware such as a stock pot.
Surface Burner Element
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. The element will cycle on and o to maintain
the desired heat setting. When nished, turn all controls to “OFF.”
Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The range has four hot surface indicator lights. They are located in the center of the glass rangetop. The hot surface indicator light will glow
red when the corresponding element is heated. The light will remain on after turning o the control knob until the corresponding element has
cooled to a safe temperature.
Surface Cooking Tips
• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6” (15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not recommended.

Using the Oven
12
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air ow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Do not cook directly on the oven bottom.
Always use oven racks when cooking in the oven. Aluminum foil
linings or cooking on the oven bottom may trap heat, causing
damage to the oven bottom or a re hazard.
Using the Oven
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.
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.

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

Using the Oven
CONV BAKE (Convection Bake)
The bottom element operates at full power, and the top broil element operates at supplemental power.
The heated air is circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven providing a more even heat
distribution. This even circulation of air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and
eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. A major bene t of convection baking is
the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple racks—a feature not possible in a standard oven.
When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing meats on the outside and retaining
more juices and natural avor on the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be
baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even when di erent dishes are involved,
such as cakes, sh or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Use
this setting for baking and roasting.
TRU CONV (TruConvec™)
The rear element only operates at full power. There is no direct heat from the bottom or top elements. The
motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air in the oven cavity for even heating. Use this setting for
foods that require gentle cooking such as pastries, sou es, yeast breads, quick breads and cakes. Breads,
cookies, and other baked goods come out evenly textured with golden crusts. No special bakeware
is required. Use this function for single rack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparation of
complete meals. This setting is also recommended when baking large quantities of baked goods at one
time.

Convection Cooking Tips
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F (10°C) when using a convection
cooking function.
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller load,
then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time. (Remember convection cooking is designed
for multi-rack baking or cooking large
loads.)
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time.
• A major bene t of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods that can
be prepared on two or three racks at the same time include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, mu ns, rolls, and frozen convenience foods.
• Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over-baked. This being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven just
before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right afer they are set out of the oven.
To use CONVECTION BAKE or TruConv function
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning oven on.
2. Set the oven selector knob to the convection bake or TruConv function, and set the oven temperature control knob to 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.

CONV ROAST* (Convection Roast)
The convection element runs in conjuction with the inner and outer broil elements. The reversible convection fan runs at a higher speed in
each direction. This transfer of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals moisture inside of large roasts. A time savings is gained over
existing, single fan convection roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc. *Note: This function uses a high-speed
convection fan for optimum cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan speed. This is normal. You can also roast foods
using bake settings. See the “Baking” section for additional information.
Roasting Tips
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid. The hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. Do not cover what is being roasted.
Convection roasting seals in juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or
burned. Cook meats and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to stand at room temperature.
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25˚ F (-3.9˚ C) and the cooking time by
approximately 10 to 15%.
• ALWAYS roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up. DO NOT add water to the
pan as this will cause a steamed e ect. Roasting is a dry heat process.
• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan. Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during
roasting.
• For convection roasting, DO NOT use pans with tall sides as this will interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.
• If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional bake setting rather than either convection setting.
• When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,
or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat temperature halfway through the recommended roasting time. After reading the
thermometer once, insert it 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) further into the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature registers below the
rst, continue cooking the meat.
• Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape and quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in the
conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking techniques. Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5˚
F (-15˚ C) to 10˚ F (-12˚ C) lower than the desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from the oven. Allow roasts to stand 15
to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make carving easier.

CONV BROIL* (Convection Broil)
The top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the
additional bene t of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since
the air ow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.
*Note: This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum cooking performance. Some noise
may be noticed from this high fan speed. This is normal.
HI BROIL
Heat radiates from both broil elements, located in the top of the oven cavity, at full power. The distance
between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For fast broiling, food may be
as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element. Fast broiling is best for meats where rare to medium
doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts
of meat.
MED BROIL
Inner and outer broil elements pulse on and o to produce less heat for slow broiling. Allow about 4 inches
(10 cm) between the top surface of the food and the broil element. Slow broiling is best for chicken and
ham in order to broil food without over-browning it. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of
meat.
LOW BROIL
This mode uses only a fraction of the available power to the inner broil element for delicate top-browning.
The inner broil element is on for only part of the time. Use this setting to gently brown meringue on racks
3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.

Broiling Instructions
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat. It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties.
Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the food and the broil element. Choose the rack position based on desired results.
Conventional broiling (LOW, MED or HI BROIL) is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches thick and is also more suitable for at pieces of meat.
Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better results,
especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside and retains more juices and natural avor inside with less shrinkage.
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning broiler on.
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid. Place broiler pan in oven.
3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the temperature control knob to “Broil”.
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does not
cycle on and o . With closed door broiling the broil element might cycle on and o if an extended broiling time is required. A built-in smoke
“eliminator” in the top of the oven helps reduce smoke and odors.

Broiling Tips
• ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to
help prevent splatter, smoke, and re.
• To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.
• Brush chicken and sh with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.
• Broil on rst side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.
• ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing food.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. Never pierce meat with a fork, as this allows the juices to escape.
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after broiling.
While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will make cleaning
of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan.
Although it is not recommended, the grid can also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with the openings in the grid so
melted fat can drain through to prevent spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease re.
Rack Positions for Broiling
The broiler uses heat rays to help cook the food. Because these rays travel only in
straight lines, the e ective cooking area of the broiler is reduced when using the
higher rack position. At high-rack positions, the rays cannot reach all corners of the
broiler grid, so larger pieces of meat might not broil su ciently at the outer edges.
The e ective cooking areas on the broiler grid for each rack position is shown
Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the closest to the oven
bottom.

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range
must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if you are going
to clean thoroughly with water.
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
Cleaning and Maintenance
Glass Ceramic Top
Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is di erent from cleaning a standard porcelain nish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass
ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
For normal light soil:
Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel. 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. Apply a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area.
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub cream into burned on area.
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the
cleaning cream.
5. Bu 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. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and
therefore make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to staining.
Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits and
vegetables.
1. Prepare the food as recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the oven; contact a
local store handling speciality cooking utensils).
3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the selector to “TruConv”.
Convection Defrost
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
2. Set the temperature control to “OFF”.
3. Turn the selector to “TRU CONV”.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration
process to ensure that it does not catch re.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn the temperature control on during defrosting.
Turning the convection fan on will accelerate the natural
defrosting of the food without the heat. To avoid sickness and
food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven
for more than two hours.

All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary,
scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or
scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain
on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap- lled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS USING
THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the self-clean cycle.

Cleaning and Maintenance
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn o soil
and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn-o . 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 starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. 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 foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
2. Wipe o any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the
door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very di cult to clean if
not removed rst. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
Self-Clean Cycle
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the
oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn o soil and
deposits.
A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use
of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain nishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the 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 rst 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-
CLEAN CYCLE.
1. Unsnap glass light cover using a screwdriver in the access groove.
2. Firmly grasp light bulb and pull out.
3. Replace with halogen bulb using volt and wattage requirements listed on glass
cover.
4. Replace the light cover by snapping glass cover onto metal box.
5. Reconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.

Power Failure
No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position. Momentary
power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is a ected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function
properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not a ect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the
range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all
controls o and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.

To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on. Within
30 seconds the automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the
oven reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and o during the self-clean cycle. When the oven reaches the elevated
temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light comes on.
4. 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 is 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 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. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and temperature control knob to the “OFF” position. When the oven has completely
cooled, open door and remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to “OFF”. When the
oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch will release and the oven door can be opened. When the oven has
completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
