W A R N I N G
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.
C A U T I O N
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.
C A U T I O N
DO NOT USE BRASS CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE
CLEANERS ON ANY 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.
Convection
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 microorganisms
and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to
remember that dehydration does not improve the
quality, so only fresh, top-quality foods should be
used.
Convection
Defrost
With the selector set to
TruConvec 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 without heat. To avoid sickness and food waste,
do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven
for more than two hours.

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.
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.
W A R N I N G
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the
oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous
fumes or can damage the porcelain finishes.
W A R N I N G
If the information in this manual is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage,
personal injury, or death.
W A R N I N G
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the electric power at the
main fuse or circuit breaker before
replacing bulb.
W A R N I N G
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.
N O T I C E
Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need
to be unobstructed and open to provide proper
airflow for optimal oven performance.
N O T I C E
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.)
C A U T I O N
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 must 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.
N O T I C E
The Cooling Fan will continue to operate after the
oven has been turned off, until the oven temperature
returns to normal. This is a normal operating
characteristic of the oven.
