on the door. If there is any damage,
do not operate the oven and contact
your dealer or VIKING AUTHORIZED
SERVICER.
CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR
YOUR OVEN
You will use your oven frequently,
so plan its location for ease of
use. The oven must be placed on
a countertop which is a minimum
of 36" from the floor. Allow at
least 2" on the sides, top and at
the rear of the oven for air circula-
tion. Be sure to position oven so
that the rear cannot be touched
inadvertently.
Your oven can be built into a
cabinet or wall by itself or above
any electric wall oven.
Note for built-in trim kits:
See sketch 1 for proper location when building in above the specified wall
oven. Carefully follow the wall oven installation instructions. Be sure that

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This 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
The electrical requirements are a 240
volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. protected
electrical supply. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided. The 240 volt
circuit is absolutely necessary for optimum
cooking performance.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged
into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
EXTENSION CORD
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the high speed oven. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be AC 240 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
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 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 high speed oven to your
radio or TV, check that the high speed oven is on a different electrical circuit,
relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position
and signal of receiving antenna.

ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Use and Care Guide is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for
reference.
The Viking High Speed Convection Oven Cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it frequently for cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable
over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the 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. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be
warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
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 oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation
as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.
After using, the cooling fan may come on to cool the oven cavity. The display
will show NOW COOLING, and you will hear the sound of the fan.
Unlike microwave-only ovens, your oven may become hot during cooking.
Be cautious.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes
or newspapers.
The microwave capability of your oven is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC
Test Procedure. In using microwave-only recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE OVEN
Children below the age of 7 should use the high speed oven with a supervis-
ing 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 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 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.
Children need to learn that the oven is not a toy. See page 39 for Child
Lock feature.

DISh check If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the
empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish
becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
AUtOMAtIc cOOkING Use the recommended container in the cooking
chart in this operation manual, cookbook and display.
AcceSSORIeS There are many microwave accessories available for purchase.
Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A
microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when
using microwave-only cooking.
Viking is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are
used.
CAUTION When using ROAST or during AUTOMATIC COOKING, some
metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the
turntable, oven walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity
that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish, such as a Pyrex pie plate or oven-
glass plate, between the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing continues
to occur, discontinue using that pan.

14
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
•Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
•Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions:
paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
•Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or
poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked
thoroughly.
•Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
possible.
•Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods,
as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over
at least once.
•Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from
top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir, if possible. Cover for
standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
•Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures
have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

15
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department
of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area
away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
TEMP FOOD
160˚F (71˚C) For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish,
seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F (74˚C) For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and
carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F (77˚C) White meat of poultry.
180˚F (82˚C) Dark meat of poultry.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are
in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly
lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently
so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and
minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your
clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1" away from walls, ceiling
and door of oven.

Your oven has 3 special speed cooking modes.
Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, rack
and dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves
when removing the food or turntable.
GRILL
Use the Grill setting for steaks, chops, chicken pieces and many other foods
you would normally grill that are not included in Basic Cook on pages 24-28.
Grill is a preprogrammed setting that cooks fast with a high temperature and
maximum speed hot air circulation. Only actual cooking time is entered; the
oven signals when it is preheated to 450˚F. The oven temperature cannot
be changed.
• Suppose you want to grill a steak for 15 minutes.The 84 basic foods and
100 recipes are cooked with Viking’s new high speed hot air system.
Follow the directions below and those in the Interactive Display to ensure
perfectly cooked foods.
1. Press Grill.
2. Enter cooking time. 1500 for 15 minutes.
3. Press START. Preheat starts. No food in oven.
4. Open the door. Place food in the oven. Close the door. Press Start.

preheat temperature for 30 minutes. After this time has elapsed, an audible
signal will sound and the oven will turn off.
Note:
1. You can grill foods without preheat. To program grill without preheat, press
Grill twice at step 1.
2. Foods cook quickly using Grill. Check often to ensure desired results.
3. Either the high or low rack may be used. The high rack grills food the
fastest. Place the splash guard on the turntable with either of the racks
over it.
ROAST
Use the Roast setting for poultry, meat, fish or other foods you would
normally roast that are not included in Basic Cook on pages 24-28. Roast is
a preprogrammed setting that roasts with high speed air circulation, 300˚F.
and a boost of microwave power. The cooking time is reduced 33% to 50%
compared with typical ovens. No preheat is necessary. Use the low rack over
the splash guard so all sides are cooked with a minimum of moisture loss.
No pan put on low rack.

add and continue to check often until the desired doneness has been
achieved.
3. When using Roast, some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when
they come in contact with the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks.
Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in
contact with metal.
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish, such as a Pyrex pie plate or
oven-glass plate, between the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing
continues to occur, discontinue use for roast cooking.
BAKE
Use the Bake setting for cakes, breads and many other foods you would
normally bake that take longer than 20 minutes in a conventional oven and
are not included in Basic Cook on pages 24-28. Bake is a preprogrammed
setting that makes it easy to bake with high speed air circulation at 325˚F.
The baking time is 25% to 33% less than in a conventional oven. No preheat
is necessary. Use the low rack.
• Suppose you want to bake a cake for 25 minutes.
1. Press Bake.
2. Enter cooking time. 2500 for 25 minutes.
3. Press Start.
