PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST
The installer should carry out the following performance checks. Refer to instructions below.
1. Check surface burner ignition.
2. Check air shutter adjustment - sharp blue flame, no yellow tipping, sooting or flame lifting
3. Check low flame adjustment - surface burner valve center stem adjustment.
4. Check griddle ignition - all burner ports.
5. Check grill ignition - all burner ports.
6. Visually check tubular burner reignition to be sure both sides are relighting each time.
6. Check for gas leaks (odors) at all gas connections.
7. Check oven bake and convection bake function.
FINAL PREPARATION
1. Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be removed. The interior of the oven
should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and any installation dust or debris
before being used for food preparation, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are
rarely needed.
2. All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this
material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners, or powders! If it is necessary to scrape
stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wood or
nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are
almost impossible to remove.
NOTE:
These installation instructions should remain with the unit for future reference. The electrical diagram is located
beneath the drip tray in the rear corner of the burner box. Remove the right rear burner bowl and pull the drip tray
forward approximately 6” (15.2 cm).
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Only authorized replacement parts may be used in performing service on the oven. Replacement parts are available
from factory authorized parts distributors. Contact Viking Range Corporation Preferred Service, (662) 451-4133, for the
nearest parts distributor in your area.
INITIAL IGNITION OF BURNERS (For Open Surface Burners)
All ranges are tested before leaving the factory. Field adjustments may be necessary for proper mixture of gas and air
for proper operation. When the range is connected to gas and electric service, it should be adjusted by a qualified
technician.
When adjustments are required, contact your dealer/installer for corrections. If assistance is not available, contact Viking
Range Corporation Preferred Service for the nearest authorized service agent at (662) 451-4133. All corrections to
installation are the responsibility of the dealer/installer or end user.
INITIAL IGNITION OF BURNERS (For Sealed Surface Burners)
All sealed top ranges are tested before leaving the factory. There are no adjustments for the sealed surface burners if
connected according to the information on the rating plate. Check each burner for proper operations. Flames should
be blue in all settings. If service is required, contact your dealer for the name of their authorized service agency. If
none is available, contact Viking Preferred Service for the nearest authorized service agency in your area. Gas
conversions and initial installation are not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
