Warnings
Read and follow all instructions before using this
appliance to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric
shock, personal injury or damage to the appliance as a
result of improper usage of the appliance. Use appliance
only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.
To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance must
be properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician. DO NOT attempt to adjust, repair, service, or
replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified servicer.
To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket(s). To
make sure the bracket has been installed properly,
look behind the range with a flashlight to verify proper
installation engaged in the rear top left corner of the
range.
• THIS RANGE CAN TIP
• INJURIES TO PERSONS CAN RESULT
• INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE PACKED WITH RANGE
To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury
or death; follow information in this manual exactly
to prevent a fire or explosion. DO NOT store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any appliance.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
• NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and may
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the
rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to
the vent or a lighted surface burner.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and
metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO
NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT leave oven
unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms,
etc; fire hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood
to remove smoke and odor.
• Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with
a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda,
a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother
fire or flame.
Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic Cooking
Surfaces
• Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be hot
enough to cause burns.
• NEVER touch oven heating elements, areas near
elements, or interior surfaces of oven.
• Heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near elements and interior
surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause
burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact heating elements,
areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE.
If cooking surface should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooking surface
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Cleaning Safety
• Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the
surface elements or surrounding areas until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Self-Clean Oven
• Clean only parts listed in this guide. DO NOT clean
door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket. DO NOT use oven cleaners of any
kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

General Information
8 ©2009 Viking Preferred Service
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan,
racks, and other utensils and wipe up excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flaming.
• This range features a cooling fan, which operates
automatically during a clean cycle. If the fan does not
turn on, cancel the clean operation and contact an
authorized servicer.
• It is normal for the rangetop cooking surface of
the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.
Therefore, touching the rangetop cooking surface
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
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.
About Your Appliance
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. DO NOT use
the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT
block or obstruct the oven vent duct located on the
right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and
for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the
oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area become
hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off,
DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas
facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and
oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g., stepping, sitting, or
leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and/or
injuries.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. DO NOT touch
a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb
could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect the
electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker
before replacing bulb.
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.
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.
BURN HAZARD. The oven door, especially the glass,
can get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT touch the
glass!

General Information
©2009 Viking Preferred Service 9
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.
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.
BURN HAZARD. When self-cleaning, surfaces may
get hotter than usual, therefore, children should be
kept away.
DO NOT store items of interest to children over
the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be
seriously injured.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical Requirements
Check your national and local codes regarding this unit.
This range requires 3 wire or 4 wire, 240-208 VAC/60
Hz. Unit must be fused separately from any other circuit.
Electrical shock hazard. To avoid the risk of
electrical shock, personal injury or death; verify
electrical power is turned off at the breaker box
until the range is installed and ready to operate,
installation by an authorized installer only.
Performance Checklist
A qualified installer should carry out the following checks:
• Check top surface elements—glow red when turned
on.
• Check hot surface indicator lights—glow red when
corresponding element is on.
• Check oven bake function—bake element on full
power, center and outside broil elements at partial
power.
• Convection bake function—bake and broil elements
the same with the convection fan on.
• Check TruConvec™ function—TruConvec element
(behind convection fan cover) on and convection fan
on.
• Check HI broil function–both broil elements at full
power.
• Check LOW broil function—inner broil element only.
• Check convection broil function—both broil elements
at full power with convection fan on.
• Check self-clean function—door will lock in
approximately 30 seconds, the center and outside
broil elements will turn on, and the bake element will
turn on at partial power. Check broil elements through
window to make sure they are on, then abort self-clean
cycle to unlock door.
When conducting performance test, DO NOT run self-
clean cycle for more than 10 minutes with oven racks
inside oven. This could cause them to discolor due to
the high temperature required for self-cleaning.

General Information
