Freestanding dual fuel ranges and all of their component parts, except as detailed below*, are warranted to be free
from defective materials or workmanship in normal household use for a period of twelve (12) months from the date
of original retail purchase. Viking Range Corporation, warrantor, agrees to repair or replace, at its option, any part
which fails or is found to be defective during the warranty period.

REPORTED TO THE SELLING DEALER WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE.
Viking Range Corporation uses the most up-to-date processes and best materials available to produce all color
finishes. However, slight color variation may be noticed because of the inherent differences in painted parts and
porcelain parts as well as differences in kitchen lighting, product locations, and other factors.
Five Year Limited Warranty
Any surface burner, griddle burner, grill burner, or oven burner which fails due to defective materials or workmanship
in normal household use during the second through fifth year from the date of original retail purchase will be
repaired or replaced, free of charge for the part itself, with the owner paying all other costs, including labor.

Any porcelain oven or porcelain inner door panel which rusts through due to defective materials or workmanship
in normal household use during the second through the tenth year from the date of original retail purchase will be
repaired or replaced, free of charge for the part itself, with the owner paying all other costs, including labor.
Ninety (90) Day Residential Plus Warranty
This warranty applies to applications where use of the product extends beyond normal residential use. Examples
are, but not limited to, bed and breakfasts, fire stations, private clubs, churches, etc. This warranty excludes all
commercial locations such as restaurants, food service locations and institutional food service locations.
This warranty extends to the original purchaser of the product warranted hereunder and to each transferee owner
of the product during the term of the warranty.

Corporation service agency or representative. Warranty shall not apply to damage resulting from indoor units
being used in outdoor situations. This warranty does not apply to commercial usage. This warranty does not
cover any food or medicine loss due to product failure. Warrantor is not responsible for consequential or
incidental damage whether arising out of breach of warranty, breach of contract, or otherwise. Some jurisdictions
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
Owner shall be responsible for proper installation, providing normal care and maintenance, providing proof of
purchase upon request, and making the appliance reasonably accessible for service. If the product or one of its
component parts contains a defect or malfunction during the warranty period, after a reasonable number of
attempts by the warrantor to remedy the defects or malfunctions, the owner is entitled to either a refund or
replacement of the product or its component part or parts. Replacement of a component part includes its free
installation. Warrantor’s liability on any claim of any kind, with respect to the goods or services covered hereunder,

Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires
the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances. Users of this
appliance are hereby warned that when the oven
is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be
some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized by properly
venting the oven to the outdoors by opening
the windows and/or door in the room where the
appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.
Important notice regarding pet birds:
NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms
where the fumes from the kitchen could reach.
Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system.
Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released
due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally
harmful.

General Information
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect
the electric power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker before replacing bulb.
WARNING
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is
COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can
result in burns or electrical shock.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn the temperature control on
during defrosting. Turning the convection fan
on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the
food without the heat.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD. The oven door, especially the
glass, can get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT
touch the glass!
WARNING
This range features a self-cleaning cycle.
During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated
temperatures in order to burn off soil and
deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the
bottom of the oven after completion of the
self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners
inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can
produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with
aluminum foil or other materials. These items
can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD. When self-cleaning, surfaces
may get hotter than usual, therefore, children
should be kept away.
CAUTION
DO NOT store items of interest to children
over the unit. Children climbing to reach items
could be seriously injured.
