Viking VDSC530 Series User manual

Professional Performance for the Home™
®

The first Viking range introduced professional
performance to the home in 1987. And a culinary revolution began. Mere foodies
were transformed into veritable chefs – outfitted with the power and features previously
reserved for restaurant kitchens. Of course, imitators soon followed. But the Viking
range continued to reset the benchmark for ultra-premium kitchens with each new
model and refined feature.
Today the full line of Viking ranges offers unrivaled power and performance.
The largest oven capacity. The largest convection fan. Commercial-strength infrared
broiler. And of course, precision control of the most powerful gas burners on
the market. Or, if you prefer, induction or infrared electric elements.
Only a Viking kitchen offers the features, sizes,
and options to cook anything you like, any way you like.
