Important Safety Instructions

???Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. This is based on safety considerations.

???Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance must be installed and electrically grounded according to local codes.

???Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Warranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.

???Children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the oven is in use.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

???GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

???Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.

???Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

???Keep area clean and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids. Never use your oven as a storage space. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite, and metallic items may become hot and cause burns.

Important Safety Instructions

???Do not heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

???Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

???Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

???Keep oven vents unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the front of the oven and vents into the room.

???Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

???No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

???Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and other utensils. Do not use your oven to clean other parts. A fan noise should be heard during the cleaning cycle. If not, call service before self-cleaning again.

???DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.

Product Controls

TruConvec???

With this function, only the rear

element operates at full power.

Thereis no direct heat from the

bottom or top elements, and

the motorized fan in the rear of

the oven circulates for even heating. Use this setting for foods that require gentle

cooking, such as pastries, souffl??s, yeast breads, quick breads, and cakes. This setting produces breads, cookies, and

other baked goods with an even texture and golden crusts. No special bakeware is required. Use this function for single-rack baking, multiple-rack baking, roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This setting is also recommendedwhen preparinglargequantitiesof baked goods at one time.

Convection Bake

With this function, the bottom element operates at full power, and the top broil element operates at supplemental power.The motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates heated air, providing a more even heat distribution. This even circulation of air equalizes the temperature throughout

Convection Broil

Using this function, the top element operates at full power. This function is exactly the same as regular broiling with the additional benefit of air circulation by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meat.

Convection Roast

With this function, the convection element runs in conjunction with the inner and outer broil elements. The reversible convection fan runs at a higher speed in each direction, allowing the moisture to be sealed inside large cuts of meat, such as roasts. This saves time when compared with single fan convection roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole chickens, and roasts.

the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to

prepare food in larger quantitiesusing multipleracks.When roasting using this setting, cool air is quicklyreplaced,searingmeatson the outsideand retaining more juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. With this heating method, foods can be baked and roasted at the same time with minimal taste transfer,even when differentdishes are involved, such as cakes, fish, or meat. The hot air system is especiallyeconomicalwhen thawing frozen food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.

NOTE: Because this function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum cooking performance, some noise may be noticed from this high fan speed. This is normal.

Defrost

With the temperature control off, a motorized fan in the rear of the oven circulates air. This fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat.

NOTE: To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours.

Touch Pad Functions

Dehydrate

With this function, a motorizedfan in the rear of the oven circulates warm air. Over a period of time, the water is removed from the food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of microorganismsand retardsthe activity of enzymes. It is importantto remember that dehydration does not improve quality;only fresh,top-quality foods should be dehydratedin your oven.

Self-Clean

The self-cleaning cycle is designed to eliminate the need for scrubbing and scouring food baked onto the oven interior. During this cycle,the oven uses high temperatures to burn off soils and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator reducesodors associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-cleancycle. When the oven has cooled, removeany ash from oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.

Auto Roast*

This function furthersimplifies roastingby automatically searing the outside of meats,raisingthe pre-set temperature by 100?? F for a short time to sear the outside of the meat. The temperaturethen returns to the pre-set temperature in the standardconvection roast mode.

Meat Probe*

The probe temperaturefunction is used to automatically turn the oven off when the internaltemperature of meat being cooked is reached.

Touch Pad Functions

Proof*

This function uses a low temperature to create an optimal environment for the yeast to rise in many types of dough.

This setting accesses, programs, and saves cooking cycles from favorite recipes.

Interior Oven Light Controls

The upper and lower ovens have interior oven lights controlled by the right touch pad. Push the light button to turn the interior oven lights on and off.

Oven Lock

This child protection function prevents the oven controls from being activated when the oven is not in use.

Broil Modes

Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat one to two inches thick, and is also suitable for flat pieces of meat.

High Broil

With this setting, heat radiates at full power from both broil elements, located in the top of the oven cavity. The distance between the foods and the broil elements determines broiling speed. For fast broiling, place food as close as two inches from the broil element, or on the top rack. Fast broiling is best for meats where "rare to medium" doneness is desired. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

Medium Broil

With this setting, inner and outer broil elements pulse on and off to produce less heat for slow broiling. For slow broiling, allow about four inches between the top surface of your food and the broil element. Slow broiling is best for chicken and ham. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

Low Broil

This mode uses only a fraction of the oven???s available power to the inner broil element to produce delicate top-browning in only three to four minutes on items such as meringue.

To Use Broil:

1.Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning the broiler on.

2.Place the food in the center of the cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your oven, and then place the broiler pan in the oven.

3.Select ???UPPER OVEN??? or ???LOWER OVEN.???

4.Set the Oven Function Selector to ???BROIL.??? Display will show ???BROIL HIGH??? and ???ON??? will flash. Medium and low displays will show ???CONV BROIL M??? and ???CONV BROIL L.???

b.For ???MEDIUM BROIL,??? press down arrow key once. Display will change to MED, then press ???SET.???

c.For ???LOW BROIL,??? press down arrow key twice. Display will change to LO, then press ???SET.???

6.Close the door to the oven. With closed-door broiling, the broil element might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven will help reduce smoke and odors.

7.When cooking is complete, press the ???OFF??? button for the selected oven.

Meat Probe Use and Care

???Use of probes other than the one provided with your oven may result in damage to the probe.

???Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.

???Toavoid damaging your probe, never use tongs to pull on the cable when removing.

???Toavoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

???Toprevent possible burns, do not unplug the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

???Never leave the probe inside the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

???Never store the probe inside the oven.

To Insert the Meat Probe:

After preparing the meat and placing it on the broiler pan, follow these steps for proper probe placement:

1.Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and use your finger to mark where the edge of the meat meets the probe. The point where they meet should rest in the center of the thickest, meatiest part of the roast.

2.Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat, or gristle.

???For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast.

???For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

???With a whole turkey,insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg.

Cooking Tips

Rack Positions

Each oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks. Premiere models have two standard tilt-proof racks and one TruGlide??? rack. With the TruGlide??? rack, the bottom section remains in the oven and the top section smoothly glides outward when pulled. This reduces the chances of spills from items that contain juice or liquid. This rack can be used in any of the six rack positions.

All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

1.Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions BEFORE heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.

2.Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function. Cooking starts immediately and stops when the Oven Function selector is turned to OFF.

3.Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.

4.Place food in the oven after the Oven indicator light goes out.

Tips Cooking

Cooking Tips

Pan PlacementTips

???When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of the rack, rack positions2 or 3 produce the best results.

???When baking on more than one rack, we recommend using one of the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th position or the 3rd and 5th position for more even baking. When baking on threeracks,use any combination of positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more consistent results.

???Stagger pans in opposite directionswhen two racks and several pans are used in ConventionalBake Mode. If possible, no pan should be directlyabove another.

???Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space aroundall sides of each pan for even air circulation.

Multiple Rack Pan Placement

Single Rack Pan Placement

Baking Tips

Because of variations in food density, surfacetexture,and consistency,some foods may be preparedmore successfully using the Conventional Bake setting. For this reason,conventional baking is recommendedwhen preparing baked goods, such as custard. You may find that other foods also turn out best when cooked in ConventionalBake Mode.

???As a generalrule, to convertconventionalrecipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperatureby 25?? F (-3.9??C) and the cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%.

Cooking Tips

???Some recipes may require adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe in Conventional Bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time until you achieve the results you are looking for.

???Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn on the oven.

???Do not open the door frequently during baking. Look through the door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.

???Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in the center of the product should come out clean when the baked item is done.

???Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be baked in shiny,reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Multiple Rack Baking

One major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods in larger quantities. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods that can be prepared on two or three racks at the same time include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience foods.

For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions two, three, four, and five. For two-rack baking, use rack positions two and four or positions three and five. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.

Tips Cooking

Solving BakingProblems

Baking problems can occur for many reasons. It is importantto remember that the temperature settingand cookingtimes you are accustomed to using with your previousoven may vary slightlyfrom those required with your new Viking oven. Youmay find that you need to make some adjustments.

COMMON BAKING PROBLEMS AND REMEDIES

Broiling Tips

??? Always use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.

??? Tokeep meat from curling, slit fatty edges.

??? Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to prevent drying out.

??? Toprevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.

??? Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time, season, and then turn. Season the second side just before removing from the oven.

??? Always pull the rack out to ???STOP??? position before turning or removing food.

??? Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. Never pierce meat with a fork, as this allows the juices to escape.

??? Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food. Otherwise, drippings will bake onto the pan.

??? While the pan is hot, place a damp paper towel over the grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over the grid. This will make cleaning easier.

??? You can also line the broiler pan with aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan.

??? Although it isn???t recommended, the grid can also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with the openings in the grid so that melted fat can drain through. This will prevent

spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire. CookingTips

Broiling Chart

Roasting Tips

???Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven, because the hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted.

???Do not cover what is being roasted; convection roasting seals in juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or burned.

???Cook meats and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to stand at room temperature.

???As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25?? F (-3.9?? C) and the cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%.

???Always roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan, using a roasting rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up.

???Do not add water to the pan, as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry-heat process.

???Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan. Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during roasting.

???For convection roasting, do not use pans with tall sides, as this will interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.

???When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part of the inner thigh.) Toensure an accurate reading, the tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat, or gristle.

???Check the meattemperature halfway through the recommended roasting time.

???After reading the thermometer once, insert it 1?? to 2 inches (1.3 cm) further into the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.

???Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape, and quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best prepared in the conventional bake setting and may require moist cooking techniques.

???Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5?? F (-15?? C) to 10?? F (-12.2??C) lower than the desired doneness. This is because the meat will continue to cook after removal from the oven.

???Allow roasts to stand 15 to 20 minutes after taking them out of the oven to make carving easier.

???If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional bake setting rather than either convection setting.
