information you neeD to knoW

about your oven

This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for
reference.
The Viking High Speed Convection Oven Cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it frequently for cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable
over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave
energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the
magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be
warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and
the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses
in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation
as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.
After using, the cooling fan may come on to cool the oven cavity. The display
will show NOW COOLING, and you will hear the sound of the fan.
Unlike microwave-only ovens, your oven may become hot during cooking.
Be cautious.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes
or newspapers.
The microwave capability of your oven is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC
Test Procedure. In using microwave-only recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

about cHilDren anD tHe oven

Children below the age of 7 should use the high speed oven with a supervis-
ing person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising
person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should
stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove
coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because
they may be extra hot.
Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she
can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the oven is not a toy. See page 39 for Child
Lock feature.
