Page 10: Convection Baking
Convection Baking Convection baking is the process of cooking food with a flow of heated air circulating throughout the oven cavity. The even circulating of this air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. This feature can make a significant difference in foods prepared in the oven.

Page 14: Convection Broiling
Conventional Broiling Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or indirect radiant heat. It is used for small individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties. Broiling is most successful for cuts 1-2 inches (2.54-5.1 cm) thick. Conventional broiling is more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Your oven contains a top broil element to provide additional flexibility for broiling foods such as stuffed lobster and for top-browning casseroles, meringue, etc.
Page 15: Cleaning And Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly. Make sure all controls are in the “off” position. Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water.
Page 16 NOTE: For cleaning, a Griddle Cleaning Kit can be purchased using a consumer order form (supplied in the same envelope that contained this use and care manual), or by calling Viking Range Corporation at (662) 451-4161, or via our website-www.vikingrange.com. The Griddle Cleaning Kit is a fast and easy commercial grade cleaning system.
Page 17 Grill The grill grate may be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Wearing a barbecue mitt to protect your hand from heat, use a soft bristle barbecue brush to scrub the grill grate. Dip the brush frequently in a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot grate.
Page 18: Self-Clean Cycle
Do not clean, move, wet, or bend door gasket. Poor cleaning and baking may result. This range features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off.
