Page 7: Before Using Range
Before Using Your 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 fi rst use of the appliance—this is normal. -
Page 8: Oven Functions And Settings
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 signifi cant eff ect on how high or low a fl ame is needed for simmering. For this reason, Viking range and rangetop burners are engineered with a Vari-Simmer setting. -
Page 9: Surface Cooking Tips
Surface Operation Surface Cooking Tips • Use low or medium fl ame heights when cooking in vessels that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron. Reduce the fl ame 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. -

Page 16: Broiling
Broiling Rack Positions for Broiling The broiler uses heat rays to help cook the food. Because these rays travel only in straight lines, the eff ective cooking area of the broiler is reduced when using the higher rack position. At high- rack positions, the rays cannot reach all corners of the broiler grid, so larger pieces of meat might not broil suffi ciently at the outer edges. -
Page 17: Convection Dehydrate
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. -
