WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste when using
automatic time baking:
• DO NOT use foods that will spoil while waiting for
cooking to start, such as dishes with milk or eggs,
cream soups, custards, fish, pork, poultry, or
foods with stuffing.
• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start
should be very cold or frozen before it is placed in
the oven.
• DO NOT use foods containing baking powder or
yeast when automatic time baking. They will not
rise properly.
• DO NOT allow food to remain in the oven for
more than two hours after the end of the cooking
cycle.
• To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more
than two hours.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
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-cleaning cycle.
CAUTION
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an
epoxy coating. DO NOT USE BRASS CLEANERS
OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON AN BRASS
PARTS. All brass body parts should be wiped
regularly with hot, soapy water. When hot, soapy
water will not do the job, use everyday household
cleaners that are not abrasive.

C A U T I O N
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the
user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT
use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
WARNING
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the
oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous
fumes or can damage the porcelain finishes.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage,
personal injury, or death.
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.
NOTICE
Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need
to be unobstructed and open to provide proper
airflow for optimal oven performance.
NOTICE
The Cooling Fan should be operating when the
unit is in operation. If you notice the cooling fan is
not operating or you observe unusual or excessive
noise coming from the cooling fan, contact a Viking
Authorized Service Center before continuing
operation. Failure to do so can result in damage to
the oven or surrounding cabinets.
Warnings (cont.)

withstand temperatures up to 194° F (90° C). Heat
and moisture resistant adhesive must be used if the

Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make
sure that the materials meet these requirements.
