Getting Started
Getting Started
• 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.

Bake
When using this function, full-
power heat is radiated from
the bake element in the
bottom of the oven cavity,
while supplemental heat is
radiated from the broil
element. This function is
recommended for single-rack
baking. Use this setting for
baking, roasting, and
casseroles.
Broil
This function is a dry-heat
cooking method, using direct
or radiant heat on three
different settings: low,
medium and high. The
distance between the foods
and the broil elements
determines broiling speed.
This function is recommended
for small, individualized cuts,
such as steaks, chops and
patties.

TruConvec™
With this function, only the rear
element operates at full power.
There is 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,
soufflés, 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 recommended when preparing large
quantities of 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
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 quantities using multiple racks. When roasting using this
setting, cool air is quickly replaced, searing meats on the outside and 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 different dishes are involved, such as cakes,
fish, or meat. The hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen
food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.

Touch Pad Functions Touch Pad Functions
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.
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.

Use this function to access, program, and customize special
features of your oven. Special features include tones,
timeouts, display brightness, and the Sabbath mode.
*Note: The AUTO-ROAST, PROOF, RECIPE and PROBE functions are
included on the Premiere models.
Dehydrate
With this function, a motorized fan 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 microorganisms and retards the activity
of enzymes. It is important to remember that dehydration
does not improve quality; only fresh, top-quality foods
should be dehydrated in 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
reduces odors associated with the soil burn-off. A powder
ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after
completion of the self-clean cycle. When the oven has
cooled, remove any ash from oven surfaces with a damp
sponge or cloth.
Auto Roast*
This function further simplifies roasting by automatically
searing the outside of meats, raising the pre-set
temperature by 100° F for a short time to sear the outside
of the meat. The temperature then returns to the pre-set
temperature in the standard convection roast mode.
Meat Probe*
The probe temperature function is used to automatically
turn the oven off when the internal temperature of meat
being cooked is reached.

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. 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.”

Convection Broil
Convection broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly
more quickly than conventional. Convection broiling of meats also

flavor inside with less shrinkage.
To Use Convection 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.

The meat probe takes the guesswork out
of roasting by cooking foods to the ideal
internal temperature. . Your Viking oven’s
built-in probe will help you prepare meats
exactly as you want them.
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.
• To avoid damaging your probe, never use tongs to pull on the
cable when removing.
• To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely
defrosted before inserting.
• To prevent 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.

Rack Positions
Each oven is equipped with tilt-proof racks and at least one
TruGlide rack. (See chart below for number of TruGlide racks
found in each oven.) 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 and makes
removing heavy items from the oven much easier. Below is a list
of how many TruGlide racks are found in each oven. Please note
that the TruGlide rack can be used in any of the six rack positions.
•Select Single and Double Ovens – One TruGlide rack (upper
oven only in double ovens)
•Premiere Single Ovens – Two TruGlide racks
•Premiere Double Ovens – Three TruGlide racks (two in upper
oven and one in lower oven)
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.
