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.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels
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.
To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance must

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 with automatic time baking. They will not rise
properly.
• DO NOT allow food to remain in the oven for more
than 2 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
2 hours.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
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.
CAUTION
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow
defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than
two hours.
NOTICE
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.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
The oven door, especially the glass, can
get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT
touch the glass!
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during the
dehydration process to ensure that it does not
catch fire.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get
hotter than usual. Therefore, children
should be kept away.
CAUTION
DO NOT store items of interest to children over
the unit. Children climbing to reach items could
be seriously injured.

DANGER
Hazards or unsafe practices which WILL result
insevere personal injury or death
WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in
death, severe personal injury or property damage
CAUTION
Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD
result in minor personal injury.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING
This appliance 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.
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.
About Your Appliance
• 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 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.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
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
NEVER use appliance as a space heater 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
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and
cabinet finishes, use only materials and finishes
that will not discolor or delaminate and will
withstand temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Heat
and moisture resistant adhesive mus t be used if the
product is to be installed in laminated cabinetry.
Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make
sure that the materials meet these requirements.
