Lighting the Burners
All burners are ignited by electric
ignition. There are no open-flame,
“standing” pilots.
VariSimmer
™
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 VariSimmer setting. The VariSimmer
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 VariSimmer setting the most accurate and
trustworthy simmer on the market.
TruPower Plus
™
Burner
(where applicable)
Ranges are equipped with a TruPower Plus 18,500
BTU burner in the front right burner position. This
burner is designed to provide extra high heat output,
especially when using large pans, and should be used
for boiling large quantities or if you need to bring
something to a boil quickly. While TruPower Plus
burner has the extra power needed to bring large
quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, it is also able to
be turned down low enough to provide a very low
and delicate simmer making this burner the most
versatile on the market.
Griddle/Simmer Plate
(where applicable)
The optional 15,000 BTU griddle is constructed of
stainless steel and is uniquely designed to offer
excellent cooking performance as well as easy clean up.
The griddle is equipped with an electronic thermostat
to maintain an even temperature across the griddle
once the desired temperature has been set. The griddle
has a power “ON” indicator light which glows when the
griddle thermostat has been turned on. This will cycle
on and off as needed to indicate the thermostat is
maintaining the selected temperature. Before the
griddle is used, it is important to season the griddle.
See instructions in the Use & Care for steps on
seasoning the griddle.
Clock Display (General)
When AC power is applied (including after
a power loss), CLOCK display shows a flashing
“12:00” and begins incremental time. Once set, clock
is “ON” or “OFF” based on user’s last setting.
To turn “ON”:
If time is off, any key press will turn on
TIME display. When range is turned “ON” following the
selection of FUNCTION or TEMPERATURE, TIME
display turns “ON”.
To turn “OFF”:
Turn the range “OFF”. If TIME is on
display, a second press of “OFF” button will turn off
TIME display.
Programming Clock
(Clock defaults to 12:00 and
flashes when first powered
up or if power is interrupted.)
1. Press “CLOCK/PROBE”
button. The clock display
will flash.
2. Toggle ”SELECTOR” right to increase or left to
decrease to set desired time. Time will scroll in
1 minute increments per individual toggle. If
”SELECTOR” is held in either right or left position,
time will increase or
decrease in 10
minute increments
until desired time is
reached. Clock
automatically rolls
from AM to PM.
3. Push in ”SELECTOR” to accept time and start timer
or after 5 seconds, time will auto-accept.
(When clock is set and needs to be changed, press
”CLOCK/PROBE” button and follow the two steps
above. CLOCK display will flash when activated.)

BAKE (Two-
Element Bake)
Full power heat is
radiated from the
bake element in
the bottom of the
oven cavity and
supplemental heat is
radiated from the
broil element. This
function is recommended for single rack baking. Many
cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the
conventional manner. Conventional baking/roasting is
particularly suitable for dishes that require a high
temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and
casseroles.
CONV BAKE
(Convection
Bake)
The bottom element
operates at full
power, and the
top broil element
operates at
supplemental power.
The heated air is
circulated by the motorized fan in the rear of the oven
providing a more even heat distribution. This even
circulation of air 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.
TRU CONV
(TruConvec™)
The rear element only
operates at full power.
There is no direct
heat from the bottom
or top elements. The
motorized fan in the
rear of the oven
circulates air in the
oven cavity for even heating. Use this setting for foods
that require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles,
yeast breads, quick breads and cakes. Breads, cookies,
and other baked goods come out evenly textured with
golden crusts. No special bakeware is required. Use
this function for single rack baking, multiple rack baking,
roasting, and preparation of complete meals. This
setting is also recommended when baking large
quantities of baked goods at one time.

CONV ROAST
(Convection
Roast)
The convection
element runs in
conjunction with
the inner and outer
broil elements.
The reversible
convection fan runs
at a higher speed in each direction. This transfer
of heat (mainly from the convection element) seals
moisture inside of large roasts. A time savings is
gained over existing, single fan convection roast
modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole
chickens, hams, etc.
AUTO ROAST (Auto Roast)
Use this function to simplify roasting by automatically
searing the outside of roasts. When Set Auto Roast
Temperature is reached, one long beep will sound and
the display will show “SEARING.” The oven will remain
at searing temperature (set temperature plus 100ºF) for
30 minutes. If set, Cook Time timer will begin.
CONV BROIL
(Convection
Broil)
The top element
operates at full
power. This function
is exactly the same
as regular broiling
with the additional
benefit of air
circulation by the motorized fan in the rear
of the oven. Smoke is reduced since the airflow also
reduces peak temperatures on the food. Use this
setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.
HI BROIL
Heat radiates from
both broil elements,
located in the top
of the oven cavity,
at full power. The
distance between
the foods and the
broil elements
determines broiling
speed. For fast broiling, food may be as close as
2 inches (5 cm) to the broil element or on the top
rack. Fast broiling is best for meats where rare
to medium doneness is desired. Use this setting for
broiling small and average cuts of meat.
MED BROIL
Inner and outer
broil elements
pulse on and off to
produce less heat
for slow broiling.
Allow about
4 inches (10 cm)
between the top
surface of the food
and the broil element. Slow broiling is best for
chicken and ham in order to broil food without over-
browning it. Use this setting for broiling small and
average cuts of meat.
LOW BROIL
This mode uses
only a fraction of
the available power
to the inner broil
element for
delicate top-
browning. The
inner broil element
is on for only part
of the time. Use this setting to gently brown meringue
on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.
DEHYDRATE (Convection Dehydrate)
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to
dehydrate fruits and vegetables by removing water
DEFR0ST
(Convection Defrost)
Use this function to defrost foods.
PROOF
Use this setting to allow yeast dough to rise.
Temperature can be set between 90º and 110ºF
(32º to 44ºC).
SELF CLEAN
Use this function to clean oven.
