BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get
hotter than usual. Therefore, children
should be kept away.
C A U T I O N
DO NOT store items of interest to children over
the unit. Children climbing to reach items could
be seriously injured.
N O T I C E
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during
defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will
accelerate the natural defrosting of the food
without the heat.
N O T I C E
Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need
to be unobstructed and open to provide proper
airflow for optimal oven performance.
N O T I C E
The Cooling Fan should be operating when the
unit is in operation. If you notice the cooling fan is
not operating or you observe unusual or excessive
noise coming from the cooling fan, contact a Viking
Authorized Service Center before continuing
operation. Failure to do so can result in damage to
the oven or surrounding cabinets.
