Before Using Range; Oven - Viking RDSCD230-5B Service Manual

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.
BURN HAZARD. The oven door, especially the glass,
can get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT touch the
glass!
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During
this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures
in order to burn off 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
finishes. 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.

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-CLEAN CYCLE.

may have remained from the manufacturing process.
Before starting to cook, clean the range thoroughly with
hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and odors
on first use of the appliance–this is normal.
