equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and
eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional
ovens. A major benefit of convection baking is the ability to
prepare food in quantity using multiple racks – a feature not
possible in a standard oven. When roasting, cool air is quickly
replaced, searing meats on the outside and retaining more
juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage.
With this heating method, foods can be baked and roasted at
the same time with minimal taste transfer, even when
different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat. The
hot air system is especially economical when thawing frozen
food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.
*This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum
cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan
speed. This is normal.

Meat Probe Functions
Cooking with your Oven
Probe Function
(Premiere Models)
Rack Positions
Probe
Cable
Each oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks. Premiere
models have two standard tilt-proof racks and one TruGlide™
rack. With the TruGlide™ rack, the bottom section remains in the
oven and the top section smoothly glides outward when pulled.
This reduces the chances of spills from items that contain alot of
juice or liquid. This rack can be used in any of the six rack
positions.
The meat probe takes the guesswork
out of roasting by cooking foods to
the ideal internal temperature. The
probe temperature setting is used to
automatically turn the oven off when
the internal temperature of the meat
being roasted is reached.
Handles
Plug
All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from
the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom.
The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels.
For best results with conventional baking, do not use more than
one rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks,
to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
To Set the Automatic Probe
Function
1. Insert probe into the meat and slide into oven.
2. Plug the probe into the outlet located on left interior wall of
the oven and close oven door.
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions BEFORE
heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time,
use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
3. Select cooking function and set temperature.
4. Press the “PROBE TEMP” button.
5. Turn the “SET” knob to the desired internal temperature. The
word PROBE and the desired internal temperature will be
displayed on the lower right of the clock. On Double Ovens,
the manual/timed control must be turned to “upper timed.”
NOTE: It is recommended to set the internal temperature
about 10 degrees lower than actual desired internal
temperature. The meat will continue to cook when removed
from the oven and will reach desired internal temperature while
“standing”.
2. Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function. Cooking
starts immediately and stops when the Oven Function selector
is turned to OFF.
3. Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.

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 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.

Conventional/Convection Cooking
Baking Tips
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.
This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique
which utilizes fan forces air to circulate heat throughout the entire oven
cavity creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with
convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for
baking heavier foods. Below are some tips which will allow you to get
the best results out of your oven when cooking with convection.
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you
turn on the oven.
• 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.
•As a general rule, 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).
•If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes then it is
possible to see a 10% - 15% reduction in cooking time. This is
especially true for large items cooked in the convection roast function.
•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 or 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.
•Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over baked. This
being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven
just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right
after they are set out of the oven.
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
one of the convection modes and the 2nd and 4th position or
the 3rd and 5th position for more even baking. When baking on
three racks, use any combination of positions 2, 3, 4, and 5 for
more consistent results.
• 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.
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for
even air circulation.
Single Rack Pan
Placement
Multiple Rack Pan
Placement
•Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection
modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the
recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow
the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food is
not prepared to your satisfaction during this first convection trial,
adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position,
or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting
one recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved.

Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors
such as room temperature and power supply. A significantly
colder room temperature or a power supply less than 240
VAC can lengthen the time it takes for the oven to reach the
desired set temperature.
For best results, it is extremely important that you preheat
your oven to the desired cooking temperature before placing
food items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking
modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the
oven to the preheat temperature. Therefore, placing food
items in the oven during preheat mode is not recommended.
The Viking Rapid Ready™ Preheat System is engineered so
that the oven is brought to the desired set temperature in a
manner which will provide the optimum cooking environment
based on the selected cooking mode in the shortest possible
time.
Note: Certain functions include a PREHEAT cycle. Once set
temperature has been reached, the oven will automatically
exit PREHEAT and follow NORMAL OPERATION mode.
For instance, the preheat mode for TruConvec™ is designed
to be brought up to the set point temperature in a different
manner than the preheat mode for CONVENTIONAL BAKE.
This is because TRUCONVEC is designed for multi-rack
baking. So it is extremely critical that all rack positions have
reached the desired cooking temperature. As a result, it is
normal for oven to take slightly longer for the oven to preheat
to 350°F (180ºC) in TRUCONVEC mode when compared to
the amount of time it takes to preheat to 350°F (180ºC) in
CONVENTIONAL BAKE mode.

Solving Baking Problems
Roasting Instructions
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the Baking Problem
chart for the causes and recommended 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.
Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The
hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item that is being
roasted. Do not cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting
seals in juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have
a light, crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or burned.
Cook meats and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no
need for meat or poultry to stand at room temperature.
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25° F (-3.9° C) and the
cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%.
COMMON BAKING PROBLEM / REMEDIES

• When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into
the center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry
insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into
the thickest part of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should
not touch bone, fat, or gristle to ensure an accurate reading.
Check the meat temperature halfway through the recommended
roasting time. After reading the thermometer once, insert it
¼inch (1.3 cm) further into the meat, then take a second
reading. If the second temperature registers below the first,
continue cooking the meat.

• Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape and
quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best
prepared in the conventional bake setting and may require
moist cooking techniques. Remove roasted meats from the
oven when the thermometer registers 5° F (2° C) to 10° F
(4° C) lower than the desired doneness. The meat will
continue to cook after removal from the oven. Allow roasts
to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make
carving easier.

Using the Meat Probe
(Premiere Models)
Conventional Roasting Chart
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food
temperature is the best test for doneness. The meat probe takes
the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact
doneness you want. NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in
the upper oven only.

Broiling Instructions
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.

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.

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.

Broiling Tip
• 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.

• 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.

Convection Dehydrate/Defrost
Cleaning & Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Convection Dehydrate
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits
and vegetables.
Oven Surfaces
1. Prepare the food as recommended.
2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the
oven; contact a local store handling speciality cooking
utensils).
3. Set the appropriate "low" temperature and turn the selector
to TruConvec™.
Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven.
Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. Your oven
features a Self-Clean cycle for the oven interior. See pages
35-38 for complete instructions. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL
WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN
CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.
Convection Defrost
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.
2. Set the temperature control to OFF.*
3. Turn the selector to TruConvec™.
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.
*IMPORTANT
Do not turn on the temperature control. Turning the convection fan
on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the
heat.
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. NOTE: It is not recommended that stainless steel cleaner be
used on any surface that contains graphics, such as the control
panel area. For these areas containing graphics, it is recommended
to only use hot, soapy water for cleaning. 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.
WARNING
To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food
to remain in the oven for more than two hours.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Brass Parts
WARNING
CAUTION
To Prevent Personal Injury
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.
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 every day household cleaners that are not
abrasive.
Before removing the doors, make sure the pins are properly
installed in the hinges. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury to hands and/or fingers.
Broiler Pan and Grid
WARNING
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a
soap-filled steel wool pad.
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.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be
scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE
OVEN RACKS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
The oven rack supports are designed to remain in the oven during
the Self-Clean cycle.
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-cleaning cycle.
Meat Probe
The meat probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-
filled scouring pad. Cool the probe before cleaning. Scour
stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
• Do not immerse the meat probe in water.
• Do not store the probe in the oven.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the
oven. The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can
discolor, warp, and damage these items. The oven rack
supports are designed to remain in the oven during the Self-
Clean cycle. Do not use foil or liners in the oven. During the Self-
Clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. Never
use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised
portions of the door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the
cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very
difficult to clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the
gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with
detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintenance
Self-Clean Cycle
Replacing Interior Halogen Oven Lights
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle.
During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order
to burn off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps
reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash
residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the Self-
Clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting
the Self-Clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot be
opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.
CAUTION
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC POWER AT THE MAIN FUSE OR
CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE REPLACING BULB.
Do not touch bulb with bare hands. Clean off any signs of oil
from the bulb and handle with a soft cloth.

4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is
completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a
safe temperature. A complete cycle approximately 3 1/2 hours
with an additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down
enough for the door latch to disengage. NOTE: A fan noise will
be heard during the self-clean cycle and will continue to run for
the 3 1/2 hour duration of the self-clean cycle.
5. Reconnect power at the main
fuse or circuit breaker.
Power Failure
Do not attempt to use during a power failure. Unit will not
function.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and
temperature control knob to the off position. When the oven
has completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from
the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the
temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to
OFF. When the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature,
the automatic door latch will release and the oven door can be
opened. When the oven has completely cooled, remove any ash
from the oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
