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.  
Child Safety (cont.)  
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.  
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.  
Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not  
be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.  
Cooking Safety  
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.  
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet  
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided,  
it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are  
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures  
may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or  
aerosol sprays.  
• 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.  
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure  
you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct  
burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is  
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to  
burner flame.  
ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the  
bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy  
and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.  
This is based on safety considerations.  
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.  
Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.  
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.  
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using  
a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and  
greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.  
DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.  
• 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.  
• GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT  
use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished with  
baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type  
extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow  
grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers  
immediately.  
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause  
the container to explode and result in injury.  
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.  
Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders  
because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on  
appliance parts.  
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before  
attempting to move or handle.  
DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or  
near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent  
grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the  
hood, turn the fan off.  
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or  
long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil  
handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These  
items could ignite and cause burns.  
Child Safety  
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in  
use or is still hot.  
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they  
could be injured or burned.

food could be contaminated  
.
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE  
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.  
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation  
Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed.  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and  
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is  
well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical  
ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call  
for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation  
(such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).  
Heating Elements  
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or interior surfaces of oven.  
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas  
near burners 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. Other surfaces of the  
oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent  
opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.  
Utensil Safety  
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay  
cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans.  
Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they  
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled  
with food may also be hazardous.  
Cleaning Safety  
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or  
cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until  
they have had sufficient time to cool.  
• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers.  
Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will  
accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble  
action of fat.  
• 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.  
DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care  
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over  
adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back  
of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached  
by small children.  
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.  
• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as  
aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven.  
Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep  
oven free from grease buildup.

released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-  
stick cookware may be harmful.  
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.  
About Your Appliance  
WARNING  
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 rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.  
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.  
• 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.  
WARNING  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD  
Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit  
breaker before replacing bulb.  
• 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.  
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.  
Power Failure  
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be  
made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the oven  
control is in the “OFF” position.  
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when  
the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function  
properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect range  
operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.  
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.

Oven Functions and Settings  
BAKE (Natural Airflow Bake)  
Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.  
Lighting Burners  
All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are  
no open-flame, “standing” pilots.  
CONVECTION BAKE  
Use this setting to bake and roast foods at the same time with minimal  
taste transfer.  
Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition  
To light the surface burners, push and turn the  
appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any position.  
This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite  
at any “ON” position with the automatic re-ignition system. If the flame  
goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the gas  
is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric  
igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking”  
sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the unit is  
plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.  
BROIL (Infrared Broil)  
Use this setting for broiling dark meats at 1” thickness or less where  
rare or medium doneness is desired.  
CONVECTION BROIL (Infrared Convection Broil)  
Use this setting to broil thick cuts of meat.  
Convection Dehydrate (CONVECTION BAKE)  
Use this function to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.  
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to  
light. When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to  
adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired  
cooking process and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in  
superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.  
Convection Defrost (CONVECTION BAKE)  
Use this function to defrost foods.  
Note: For more information on oven functions see “Operation”  
section.  
Vari-Simmer™  
Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot  
liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering  
ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening  
and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can have  
a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering.  
For this reason, Viking range and rangetop burners are engineered with a  
Vari-Simmer setting. The Vari-Simmer setting is not just one simmer  
setting, but provides a variable range of simmer settings. This variable  
range of simmer settings allows you to adjust the flame height to achieve  
the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of food being  
simmered. It is this ability that makes the Vari-Simmer setting the most  
accurate and trustworthy simmer on the market.

Surface Cooking Tips  
Cooking Vessels  
• Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in vessels that are  
poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast-iron.  
Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the  
cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating within  
the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or  
scorching the food.  
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking  
vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.  
Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use in the range and it is  
not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels with commercial  
cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware,  
yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on  
the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.  
• Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the  
cooking vessel. A flame that extends along the sides of the vessel is  
potentially dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead  
of the food, and wastes energy.  
• Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform  
the desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks just as  
quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a  
higher boil than is necessary wastes energy, cooks away moisture,  
and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.  
Note: When using big pots and/or high flames, it is recommended to use  
the front burners. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup  
at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.  
Oven Features  
• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6”  
(15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but  
not recommended.

Using the Oven  
Baking  
Conventional and Convection Cooking  
BAKE  
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency,  
some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional  
bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended  
when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other  
foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. It  
is recommended to use this function for single-rack baking.  
(Natural Airflow Bake)  
Full power heat is radiated from  
the U-shaped bake burners in  
the bottom of the oven cavity  
and is circulated with natural  
airflow. This function is  
recommended for single rack  
baking. Many cookbooks contain  
recipes to be cooked in the  
conventional manner.  
Conventional baking is suitable for dishes that require a high  
temperature. Use this setting for baking and casseroles.  
Convection Cooking Tips  
Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes fan-forced  
air to circulate throughout the entire oven cavity creating the optimum  
cooking environment. Cooking with convection is intended when  
performing multi-rack baking and for heavier foods. Below are some  
tips which will allow you to get the best results out of your oven when  
cooking with convection.  
natural airflow bake  
To Use BAKE Function  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
oven on.  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F (10°C) when using a  
convection cooking function.  
• Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the  
same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller  
load, then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time.  
(Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or  
cooking large loads.)  
2. Set the oven temperature control knob to desired temperature.  
3. Close the door.  
CONVECTION BAKE  
Heat is radiated from the U-  
shaped bake burners in the  
bottom of the oven cavity. The  
heated air is circulated by one  
motorized fan in the rear of the  
oven providing a more even  
heat distribution. Multiple rack  
use is possible for the largest  
• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is  
possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time.  
• A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods  
in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods  
that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time  
include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen  
convenience foods.  
• For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,  
and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3  
and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.  
baking job. When roasting,  
cool air is quickly replaced—  
convection bake  
searing meats on the outside and retaining more juices and natural  
flavor on the inside with less shrinkage. This even circulation of air  
equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates  
the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens.

Baking  
To Use CONVECTION BAKE Function  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning oven on.  
Pan Placement Tips  
• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of the  
rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.  
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use the 3rd  
and 5th position for more consistent even baking.  
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans  
are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly  
above another.  
2. Set the oven temperature control knob to desired temperature and  
turn on the convection fan switch.  
3. Close the door.  
Baking Tips  
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even  
air circulation.  
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn  
on the oven.  
Multiple Rack Pan  
Placement  
Single Rack Pan  
Placement  
DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. Look through the  
door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open  
the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.  
• Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before  
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in  
the center of the product should come out clean when done.  
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure  
best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be  
baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use  
of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated  
pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Baking  
Broiling  
Solving Baking Problems  
BROIL (Infrared Broil)  
The broil burner at the top of  
the oven heats the metal screen  
until it glows. Heat radiates from  
the GourmetGlo™ infrared  
broiler located at the top of the  
oven cavity. The distance  
between the foods and the broil  
elements determines broiling  
speed. For “fast” broiling, food  
may be as close as 2 inches  
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart below  
for the causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is  
important to remember that the temperature setting and cooking  
times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary  
slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true,  
it is necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times  
accordingly.

Broiling  
Broiling  
Broiling Instructions  
Broiling Tips  
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat.  
It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and  
patties. Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the  
food and the broil element. Choose the rack position based on  
desired results.  
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed  
to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking  
surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.  
To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.  
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to  
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.  
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,  
season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.  
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing  
food.  
Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches  
thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Convection  
broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than  
conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better results,  
especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside and retains  
more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.  
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a  
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.  
• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the food.  
Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated oven after  
broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel over grid. Drizzle  
with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour water over grid. This will  
make cleaning of the pan easier, or the broiler pan can be lined with  
aluminum foil to make cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up  
the side of the pan. Although it is not recommended, the grid can  
also be covered with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with  
the openings in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent  
spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire.  
To Use Broil or Convection Broil  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
broiler on.  
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your  
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.  
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to “Broil”. Turn on the  
convection fan switch if you wish to convection broil.  
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open  
broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does  
not cycle on and off. With closed door broiling the broil element  
might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time is required. A  
built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven helps reduce  
smoke and odors.  
Rack Positions for Broiling  
Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the  
closest to the oven bottom.

Convection Dehydrate  
Broiling Chart  
Convection Dehydrate  
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits  
and vegetables. Warm air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear  
of the oven and 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.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no  
exception. Your range must be kept clean and maintained properly.  
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.  
Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water.  
Control Panel  
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They  
could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy  
water and a soft clean cloth.  
Oven Surfaces  
Open Surface Burners  
Several different finishes have been used in your oven.  
NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS,  
CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN  
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.  
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible after they occur and before  
they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. In the event of a  
spill-over, follow these steps:  
• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a safe temperature level.  
• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.  
• If the spill is contained in the bowl of the grate support, just remove  
the bowl and clean in warm soapy water.  
Control Knobs  
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF  
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in  
detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing  
firmly onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or  
abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.  
• Lift the grate support off.  
• Wash these parts in hot, soapy water and rinse clean.  
• If the spill has gone lower than the grate supports, draw out the drip  
pan and wash with hot, soapy water.  
Stainless Steel Parts  
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy  
water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner  
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT  
use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape  
stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot  
towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or  
scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to  
scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on  
stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor  
stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
If ports on the burners are clogged, clean with a straight pin. DO NOT  
enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean the  
ports. When replacing burner caps, carefully align the tabs underneath  
the cap with the outside edge of burner. Make sure burner cap is level.  
Occasionally check the burner for proper size and shape. If flames lift  
off ports, are yellow, or are noisy when turned on, you may need to  
clean the burners or call a qualified technician for adjustment.  
Burner Caps  
The surface burner caps should be routinely removed and cleaned.  
ALWAYS clean the burner caps after a spill-over. Keeping the burner  
caps clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean,  
pull burner cap straight up from the burner base. Wipe off surface  
burner caps with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth after each use.  
Use a non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft  
Scotch Brite™ pad for cooked-on foods. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.  
For best cleaning and to avoid possible rusting, DO NOT clean in  
dishwasher or self-cleaning oven.  
Glass Surfaces  
Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to  
remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it  
does not run down on exterior door surface.
