Before Using Rangetop; Cooking Vessels; Rangetop Features - Viking Range 5 Series Use & Care Manual

Before Using the Rangetop
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 cooking, clean the rangetop thoroughly with a hot, soapy damp cloth. There
may be some burn off and odors on fi rst use of the appliance—this is normal.
All models include:
• Exclusive VSH™ Pro Sealed Burner System (Vari Simmer™ to High)—combination of patented burner and top design provide
cleanability plus superior performance at simmer and high.
•Exclusive one-piece tooled and porcelainized cooking surface contains spills for easy cleaning.
•Removable knobs, grates, and burner ports/caps for easy cleaning.

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 is 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 and/or high fl ames, it is recommended to use the front burners. There is more room in the front and
potential cleanup at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.
