3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 7.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example,

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

5E
17. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond
the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or
boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY
BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-
mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at
least for 20 seconds before removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
18. Clean ventilation openings and grease filters frequently—Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on ventilation openings, hood (louver) or grease
filters.
19. Use care when cleaning the louver and the grease filters. Corrosive cleaning
agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the louver and the
grease filters.
20. When flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on.
21. This appliance is suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking
equipment 36" wide or less.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
(a) Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven with the door open
since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to micro-
wave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the microwave oven front face and
the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the microwave oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the microwave oven door close properly and that there
is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken
or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The microwave oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone
except properly qualified service personnel.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into
a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Check Installation Instructions for proper location
for the power supply.
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz,
AC only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical
supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIR-
CUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
Note:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither Viking nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the mi-
crowave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct
electrical connection procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio
or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate
the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check the
position and signal of the receiving antenna.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for
reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking
principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn
the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven.
The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave
energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron
cycling on and off.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the
moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the
microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation
as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must not be blocked.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the
cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending
on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a
tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry
clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave output is rated 850 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In
using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum time and add
time accordingly.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising
person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not, he/
she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven
door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove
coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because
they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill, he/she can
cook everything.
