Racks (3)
Gentle Close Door Feature
All oven doors come standard with a gentle close feature. The door will remain in an open position until the door is approximately 5"
(12.7 cm) away from the oven. When reaching this point, the door will require a slight push to engage the gentle close mechaism. The
closing speed of the door will vary according to the oven temperature.

Rack Positions

The 36"W. and 48" W. right-hand oven is equipped with three full extension glide racks. The 18" left-hand oven is equipped with two
standard 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. It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3
and 5.

Using the Oven

PREHEAT / NO PREHEAT
Preheat - Used in all Baking modes except Convection Bake
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 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 different manner than the
preheat mode for 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 (180°() in
TRUCONVEC mode when compared to the amount of time it takes to preheat to 350° F (180oC) in B-AKE mode.
Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors such as room temperature and power supply. A significantly 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.
Note
: Certain functions include a PREHEAT cycle. Once set temperature has been reached, the oven will automatically exit PREHEAT and
follow NORMAL OPERATION mode
No Preheat Option - Convection Bake Mode only
• Turn oven to Convection Bake and select the desired temperature (lower temperature by 25 degrees for convection setting).
• Place the food item/dish in the oven on the middle oven rack (single rack baking only).
• Check food occasionally to monitor the cooking process. Most of the time, the food will cook for the same amount of time and sometimes
slightly faster than usual.
