Installation Instructions

UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR OVEN

Remove all packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located located on the inside top of the cavity. Read enclosures and SAVE the Installation/Use and Care Manual.

Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your local authorized service agent.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself, above any electric built-in oven, warming drawer or below a cooktop or counter. If installing above an oven or warming drawer, please allow 2” of space between the products.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. The AC power supply must be 220-240V, 50Hz, with a minimum 1.6kW distribution circuit breaker. It should be possible to isolate the appliance from the supply by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with electrical codes. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
• Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way. Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

IMPORTANT: If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorized, qualified electrician.

Note:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither Viking Range, LLC nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the oven to your radio or TV, check that the oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

• If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by an authorized service agent.

TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF BURNS:

• Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy. Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of potholders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
  

Information You Need To Know

ABOUT YOUR OVEN

This Installation/Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.

After using CONVECTION, SPEED FUNCTIONS or CONVECTION MORE MENUS, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during CONVECTION, SPEED FUNCTIONS and CONVECTION MORE MENUS cooking.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 950 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the oven is not a toy. See page 25 for Control Lock feature.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for oven use.

• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
  ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new convection oven. The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used in each mode.

ACCESSORIES

There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. When selecting microwave accessories, ensure that they are marked or are verified as microwave-safe. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using microwave-only cooking. Viking Range, LLC is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

TIME COOKING

Your oven can be programmed for 99 minutes and 99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes, even if they are both zeros.

• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.

1. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads 500.

2. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

• Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30%.

1. Enter defrosting time by touching the number pads 500.

2. Touch POWER LEVEL pad and number 3.

3. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.

You can program up to 4 automatic cooking sequences. Follow directions on page 24. Note that power level must be entered first when programming multiple sequences.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using POWER LEVEL 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and touch 3 for 30% when you select the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on POWER LEVEL 3 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

  DEFROST CHART

Note:

Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.

SENSOR COOKING

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using sensor settings.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. REHEAT and POPCORN can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and variable power.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.

6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when using sensor reheat, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

7. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch TIMER/SETTINGS when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

SELECTING FOODS:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.

2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be reheated by time and variable power.

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately ½ inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

REHEAT

You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You don't need to calculate reheating time or power level.

• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili: Touch REHEAT pad.

When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating time will appear.

POPCORN

• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn: Touch POPCORN pad once, then touch START/+30 SEC.

Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks and dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turntable from the oven.

MORE MENUS CHART

WARNING: DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO COVER OR SHIELD FOOD WHEN USING SPEED BAKE OR SPEED ROAST. THE MICROWAVE IS ACTIVE DURING THESE COOKING CYCLES. THE USE OF ANY METAL OTHER THAN THE PROVIDED OVEN RACKS AND HIGH AND LOW TURNTABLE RACKS INCREASES THE RISK OF ARCING AND POSSIBLY FIRE INSIDE OF THE OVEN CAVITY.

SPEED BAKE

This cook function provides superior results for baked goods that require more than 20 minutes baking time. The SPEED BAKE cooking function cycles the oven’s power between 90% convection oven and 10% microwave power to create golden brown exteriors and perfectly moist interiors for foods such as Bundt cakes, quick breads and muffins.

SPEED ROAST

This is ideal for larger, dense cuts of meat and whole poultry. The SPEED ROAST cooking function cycles the oven's power between 70% convection oven and 30% microwave power. This allows for reduced cooking time as the microwaves directly and rapidly heat the food internally while convection function circulates dry, heated air throughout the oven cavity to provide even cooking with browning for crispy exteriors while the inside retains its juicy texture.

With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, most foods are well suited to mix cooking using either SPEED BAKE or SPEED ROAST.

The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness.

The temperatures can be changed; however, the microwave power cannot.

The oven temperature can be changed from 100°F to 450°F. To change the temperature, first touch SPEED ROAST or SPEED BAKE then touch the same pad again. When the display says SELECT TEMP, touch desired temperature pad. Ex: SPEED ROAST, SPEED ROAST pad,

• The temperature will change to 375°F automatically.

TO COOK WITH SPEED FUNCTIONS

• Suppose you want to bake a cake for 25 minutes on SPEED BAKE:

1. Touch SPEED BAKE pad.

2. Enter cooking time by touching number pads 2500.

3. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR CONVECTION AND SPEED FUNCTIONS COOKING

Your Convection Oven can cook any food perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook: microwave only, speed functions, convection only or grill. This Operation Manual tells you how to program the oven.

The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place. Never restrict the movement of the turntable.

CONVECTION COOKING:

1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for preheat.

Place high rack on turntable along with foods. When preheat is over, open oven door and quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to be baked inside.

2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks food.

3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.

SPEED FUNCTIONS COOKING:

1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be made from the drippings.

2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3. When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.

Other Convenient Features

MULTIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING

The oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic cooking sequences for the microwave mode and 2 automatic cooking sequences with preheat for SPEED BAKE/SPEED ROAST mode, switching from one power level setting to another automatically.

Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one power level and then change to a different power level. Your oven can do this automatically.

• Suppose you want to cook roast beef for 5 minutes at 100% and then continue to cook for 30 minutes at 50%.

1. First touch POWER LEVEL pad twice for 100% power. Then enter cooking time.

2. Touch POWER LEVEL pad. Touch number pad 5 for 50% power. Then enter second cooking time.

3. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.

Note:

1. If POWER LEVEL pad is touched twice, HIGH will be displayed.

2. If you wish to know power level, simply touch the POWER LEVEL pad. As long as your finger is touching the POWER LEVEL pad, the power level will be displayed.

Cleaning and Care

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.

EXTERIOR

The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

DOOR

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR pad.

INTERIOR - AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE Oven.

INTERIOR - AFTER CONVECTION, SPEED BAKE OR SPEED ROAST

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/ high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it—not a soap filled steel pad—for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.

After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on 450°F for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is made from mica so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT

The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a nonabrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.

Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.

The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
