Professional Performance for the Home™
®

When creating a dream kitchen, there’s one universal
truth: no one dreams alike. Fortunately, our built-in rangetops, cooktops, and gas woks
offer the versatility of being placed exactly where you envision them. Plus, unchained
from a particular oven, they can be mixed and matched to your heart’s content.
There are even plenty of design options. Which means they work with just
about any kitchen motif. The built-in surface cooking
appliances open up possibilities. And your dreams.

Amaze your guests before the first course is even served. Induction cooking creates heat with magnetic power. MagneQuick™
induction power generators create a magnetic field, which reacts with iron in the base of the cookware – instantly transforming
the pot or pan into a very powerful and highly responsive heat source. The energy transfer stops just as quickly when the cookware
is removed – leaving the cooktop surface cool to the touch almost immediately.

Design integrity
Consistency in both performance and design should be a major consideration when building or remodeling
a home. With the complete Viking indoor or outdoor kitchen, every single product works together in form and
function with the same level of excellence. It’s something Viking calls Design Integrity .
Viking offers complete ultra-premium kitchens and truly consistent design, while delivering the quality and
performance that makes Viking the true market leader. Across all product categories, the knobs, handles,
bezels, curves, angles, and lines all follow the same design cues – even the grain of stainless is the same from
product to product. This enables the designer to create a perfectly harmonious kitchen in one of three Viking
product offerings – Professional Indoor, Designer Indoor, or Professional Outdoor.
You wouldn’t install mismatched cabinets and drawers or countertops. Yet design differences are even more
dramatic between multiple appliance manufacturers. Traditional or contemporary. Stainless or color finish. No
matter the look you’re going for, no one can match the Viking kitchen and Viking Design Integrity.
