Installation Instructions

UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Remove all packing materials from inside the microwave oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the right cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the Installation/Use and Care Manual.
Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven and contact your local authorized service agent.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

For Your Microwave Oven on the Counter
You will use the microwave oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the microwave oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the microwave oven for air circulation.

For Your Built-in Microwave Oven
Your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any electric wall oven or warming drawer.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

EXTENSION CORD

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Note:

  1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
  2. Neither Viking Range, LLC nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

Information You Need To Know

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Installation/Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the microwave 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 microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must not be blocked.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking. The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave oven is rated 900 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT SAFETY

  • Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

TEMP FOOD
160˚F (71˚C) for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F (74˚C) for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out "fresh" food.
170˚F (77˚C) white meat of poultry.
180˚F (82˚C) dark meat of poultry.
  • ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
  • Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.
  • Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
  • NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
  • Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
  • Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
  • Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
  • Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

  • Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
  • Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
  • Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
  • Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
  • Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
  • Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
  • Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
  • Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
  • Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:
    • Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
    • Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
    • Poultry thigh joints move easily.
    • Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
    • Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT FOOD

FOOD DO DON'T
Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables
  • Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent "explosion".
  • Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.
  • Cook eggs in shells.
  • Reheat whole eggs.
  • Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn
  • Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven.
  • Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Popcorn pad.
  • Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.
  • Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
Baby food
  • Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.
  • Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. "Wrist" test before feeding.
  • Heat disposable bottles.
  • Heat bottles with nipples on.
  • Heat baby food in original jars.
General
  • Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
  • Stir liquids briskly before, during and after heating to avoid "eruption".
  • Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.
  • Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers.
  • Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.
  • Deep fat fry.
  • Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

  4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and select cooking time and variable power.
    When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
  5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.
  6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when using sensor reheat, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
  7. Any Sensor Cooking mode can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment.
  8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

SELECTING FOODS:

  1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.
  2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be reheated by time and variable power.

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the chart for these foods.

  1. Casserole lid.
  2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately ½ inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
  3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

REHEAT

You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You don't need to calculate reheating time or power level.

  • Suppose you want to heat prepared chili:
    Touch Reheat pad.
    When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating time will appear.

POPCORN

TO PREHEAT AND COOK WITH CONVECTION

Your oven can be programmed to combine preheating and convection cooking operations. You can preheat to the same temperature as the convection temperature or change to a higher or lower temperature.

Suppose you want to preheat to 350˚F, and then cook 25 minutes at 375˚F convection:

  1. Touch Preheat pad.
  2. Select temperature by touching number pad .
  3. Touch Convec pad.
  4. Select temperature by touching number pad .
  5. Enter cooking time by touching number pads .
  6. Touch Start/Touch On pad.
    When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, a signal will sound 4 times*. The oven will stop, and directions will be displayed. Follow the indicated message.
  7. Open the door. Place food in the oven. Close the door. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

* If the oven door is not opened, the oven will automatically hold at the preheat temperature for 30 minutes. After this time has elapsed, an audible signal will sound, and the oven will turn off.
Note:

  1. To program only preheat, touch the Start/Touch On pad after step 2. Preheating will start. When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, follow the indicated message.
  2. To preheat and cook with the same temperature, enter same temperature in steps 2 and 4.

BROIL

Preheating is automatic when the Broil setting is used. Only actual cooking time is entered; the oven signals when it is preheated to 450˚F. Oven temperature cannot be changed. Use Broil setting for steaks, chops, chicken pieces and many other foods. See Convection Broiling Chart in cookbook.

  • Suppose you want to broil a steak for 15 minutes:
    1. Touch Broil pad.
    2. Enter cooking time by touching the number pads .

    2. Touch Slow Cook pad once more if you want to change the temperature from 300˚F.
    3. Touch temperature pad .
    4. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

Note: If you do not change the temperature, omit steps 2 and 3.

AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING

This oven has two pre-programmed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwave automatically.

OVEN TEMPERATURE MICROWAVE POWER
High mix/Roast 300˚F 30%
Low mix/Bake 350˚F 10%

With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, most foods are well suited to mix cooking using either Low mix/Bake or High mix/Roast.
The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness.
The temperatures can be changed; however, the microwave power cannot.
The oven temperature can be changed from 100˚F to 450˚F. To change the temperature, first touch High mix or Low mix then touch the same pad again. When the display says SELECT TEMP, touch desired temperature pad. Ex: High mix, High mix pad, . The mix temperature will change to 375˚F automatically.

TO COOK WITH AUTOMATIC MIX

  • Suppose you want to bake a cake for 25 minutes on Low mix/Bake:
    1. Touch Low mix/Bake pad.
    2. Enter cooking time by touching number pads .
    3. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

TO PREHEAT AND COOK WITH AUTOMATIC MIX

Your oven can be programmed to combine preheating and automatic mix cooking operations. You can preheat at the same temperature as the preset combination temperature or change it to a different temperature.

  • Suppose you want to preheat to 350˚F and then cook 25 minutes on 325˚F low mix/bake:
    1. Touch Preheat pad.
    2. Touch temperature pad .
    3. Touch Low mix pad.
    4. Touch Low mix pad once more to change the cooking temperature.
    5. Touch temperature pad .
    6. Enter cooking time by touching number pads .
    7. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

    8. Open the door. Place food in the oven. Close the door. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

* If the oven door is not opened, the oven will automatically hold at the preheat temperature for 30 minutes. After this time has elapsed, an audible signal will sound and the oven will turn off.
Note: To program only preheat, touch the Start/Touch On pad after step 2. Preheating will start. When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, follow the indicated message.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR CONVECTION AND AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING

Your Convection Microwave Oven can cook any food perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook: microwave only, automatic mix, convection only or broil. The cookbook that comes with your oven has excellent instructions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help you get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until you are familiar with it. This Operation Manual tells you how to program the oven.
The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place. Never restrict the movement of the turntable.

Convection Cooking:

  1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for preheat. Place high rack on turntable along with foods. When preheat is over, open oven door and quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to be baked inside.
  2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks food.
  3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.
  4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.

Automatic Mix Cooking:

  1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be made from the drippings.
  2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
  3. When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.

Note:
During mix baking some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex® pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs with other metal baking utensils, discontinue their use for mix cooking.

Other Convenient Features

MULTIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING

The oven can be programmed for up to 4 automatic cooking sequences for the microwave mode and 2 automatic cooking sequences with preheat for convection/ mix mode, switching from one power level setting to another automatically.
Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one power level and then change to a different power level. Your oven can do this automatically.

  • Suppose you want to cook roast beef for 5 minutes at 100% and then continue to cook for 30 minutes at 50%.
    1. First touch Power Level pad twice for 100% power. Then enter cooking time.
    2. Touch Power Level pad. Touch number pad for 50% power. Then enter second cooking time.
    3. Touch Start/Touch On pad.

Note:

  1. If Power Level pad is touched twice, HIGH will be displayed.

Cleaning and Care

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the microwave oven during cleaning.

EXTERIOR

The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

DOOR

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch Stop/Clear pad.

INTERIOR

AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.

AFTER CONVECTION, MIX OR BROIL COOKING

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high tempera-ture cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it — not a soap filled steel pad — for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.
After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on 450˚F for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT

The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a nonabrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
