Before Using Range - Viking Professional Freestanding Ranges Use & Care Manual

Warnings
C AU TIO N
DO NOT 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.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
C AU TIO N
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to
ensure that it does not catch fire.
WARN IN G
BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual.
Therefore, children should be kept away.
C AU TIO N
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

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.
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.
