Viking Professional Series User manual

Temperature Co trol
Each oven has a separate temperature control dial and a separate
oven function selector. The controls can be set at any temperature
from 200° F (93.3° C) to 550° F (2 7. ° C). There are separate set-
tings for broiling and self-cleaning. Always be sure the controls are
in the OFF position when the ovens are not in use.
I terior Ove Light Co trol
The upper and lower ovens have interior oven lights that are con-
trolled by one switch on the control panel. Push the switch to turn
the interior oven lights on and off.
Two-Eleme t Bake
Full power heat is radiated from
the bake element in the bottom
of the oven cavity and supple-
mental heat is radiated from the
broil element. This function is
recommended for single rack
baking. Many cookbooks contain
recipes to be cooked in the con-
ventional manner. Conventional
baking/roasting is particularly
suitable for dishes that require a
high temperature. Use this set-
ting for baking, roasting, and
casseroles.
TruCo vecTM
The rear element only operates
at full power. There is no direct
heat from the bottom or top ele-
ments. The motorized fan in the
rear of the oven circulates air in
the oven cavity for even heating.
Use this setting for foods that
require gentle cooking such as
pastries, souffles, yeast breads,
quick breads and cakes. Breads,
cookies, and other baked goods
come out evenly textured with
golden crusts. No special bake-
ware is required. Use this function for single rack baking, multiple rack baking,
roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This setting is also recommended
when baking large quantities of baked goods at one time.

oven is first connected to
the power in your home, the
timer display will show --:--.
To program the time-of-day:
1. Press the “CLOCK”* button. 12:00 will be displayed with the
word SET in the upper right corner.
2. Turn the “Set” knob until the correct time-of-day is displayed.
AM and PM are not indicated.
3. Press the “CLOCK” button again. The word SET will
disappear and the correct time is now set into the timer.
The time-of-day can be changed by following steps 1 through 3.
It cannot be changed while there is a Bake Hours or Start Time
cycle programmed into the timer.

Viking Quick Reference Guide
Professional & Designer Series
Built-In Electric Single and Double Ovens
Co vectio Bake
The bottom element operates
at full power, and the top broil
element operates at supple-
mental power. The heated air
is circulated by the motorized
fan in the rear of the oven pro-
viding a more even heat dis-
tribution. This even circulation
of air equalizes the tempera-
ture throughout the oven cav-
ity and eliminates the hot and
cold spots found in conven-
tional ovens. A major benefit
of convection baking is the ability to prepare food in quantity using multiple
racks – a feature not possible in a standard oven. When roasting, 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 sys-
tem is especially economical when thawing frozen food. Use this setting for bak-
ing and roasting.
Co vectio Roast*
The convection element runs
in conjuction with the inner
and outer broil elements. The
reversible convection fan runs
at a higher speed in each
direction. This transfer of heat
(mainly from the convection
element) seals moisture inside
of large roasts. A time savings
is gained over existing, single
fan convection roast modes.
Use this setting for whole
turkeys, whole chickens,
hams, etc.
Co vectio Broil*
The top element operates at full
power. This function is exactly
the same as regular broiling with
the additional benefit of air cir-
culation 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.
*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.
High-Broil
Heat radiates from both broil
elements, located in the top of
the oven cavity, at full power.
The distance between the foods
and the broil elements deter-
mines broiling speed. For "fast"
broiling, food may be as close as
2 inches to the broil element or
on the top rack. "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
Inner and outer broil elements
pulse on and off to produce less
heat for “slow” broiling. Allow
about 4 inches between the top
surface of the food and the broil
element. "Slow" broiling is best
for chicken and ham in order to
broil food without over-browning
it. Use this setting for broiling
small and average cuts of meat.

Low-Broil
This mode uses only a frac-
tion of the available power
to the inner broil element
for delicate top-browning.
The inner broil element is
on for only part of the time.
Use this setting to gently
brown meringue on racks 3
or 4 in 3-4 minutes.
Self-Clea
The pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle is designed to eliminate the need
for scrubbing and scouring food baked onto the oven interior.
During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order
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.
Co vectio Dehydrate
With the selector set to TruConvec and the
temperature control on 150° F (65.6° C), warm
air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of
the oven. Over a period of time, the water is
removed from the food by evaporation.
Removal of water inhibits growth of microor-
ganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to remember that dehy-
dration does not improve the quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods should be used.
Co vectio Defrost
With the selector set to convection cook and
the temperature control off, air is circulated by a
motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan
accelerates natural defrosting of the food with-
out heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, do
not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven
for more than two hours.
