Before Using Range - Viking RVER330 Use And Care Manual

Warnings
WARNING
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the
oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and
deposits.
A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven.
Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle, causing
permanent damage to the oven.
CAUTION
touch the exterior portions of the oven after
self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts
become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is
used, there may be some odor and smoking from the "curing" of
the binder in the high-density insulation used in the oven. When
the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear.
During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor
characteristic of high temperatures.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration
process to ensure that it does not catch fire.
WARNING
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual,
therefore, children should be kept away.

Before Using 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 first use of the appliance–this is normal.
Glass Rangetop
Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough
cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.
Oven
IMPORTANT! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the
thermostat to 450°F, and operate for an hour.
