Warnings Power Failure If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. 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 affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function properly without any adjustments.
Before Using Range All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which 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.
Simmering ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can have a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering. For this reason, Viking range and rangetop burners are engineered with a Vari-Simmer setting.
Surface Operation Surface Cooking Tips • Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in vessels that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.
Oven Features Broiler element Oven lights Oven racks (3) Convection fan Removable bottom Bake burner Rack Positions Each oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks. All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, DO NOT use more than one rack at a time.
Baking BAKE (Natural Airflow Bake) Full power heat is radiated from the U-shaped bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity and is circulated with natural airflow. This function is recommended for single rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner.

Broiling BROIL (Infrared Broil) The broil burner at the top of the oven heats the metal screen until it glows. Heat radiates from the GourmetGlo™ infrared broiler located at the top of the oven cavity. The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed.

Convection Dehydrate Convection Dehydrate This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits and vegetables. Warm air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven and over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes.
Cleaning and Maintenance 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. Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception.
Replacing Oven Lights WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before replacing bulb. WARNING DO NOT touch bulb with bare hands. Clean off any signs of oil from the bulb and handle with a soft cloth. DO NOT touch bulb with bare hands.
Door Removal WARNING TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY Before removing the doors, make sure the pins are properly installed in the hinges. Failure to do so can result in personal injury to hands and/or fingers. Open door completely. Remove hinge trim screws Place pin in pin hole.
