Using the Oven
Preheat
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.
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.
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.
Note:
While preheating, display will alternate between PREHEAT and
FUNCTION and TEMPERATURE selected.
Note:
PREHEAT is the only cycle where actual temperature is
displayed, otherwise the display shows set temperature.
Note:
Certain functions include a PREHEAT cycle. Once set
temperature has been reached, the oven will automatically exit
PREHEAT and follow NORMAL OPERATION mode.
Normal Operation
Once the FUNCTION and TEMPERATURE are set, and PREHEAT
completes, oven will beep indicating set temperature has been
reached and normal operation begins.
1. The display shows set temperature.
2. Oven temperature can be adjusted at any time by pressing
“OVEN TEMPERATURE” button, then rotating “SELECTOR”. Push
in “SELECTOR” to accept or auto-accept after 5 seconds. If user
wants to return to previous setting, press “CLEAR” key (as long as
the SELECTOR has not been pushed in).
3. If oven is no longer at correct temperature due to opening oven
door, control will revert to PREHEAT.
Timed Cook
During a TIMED COOK operation,
the oven operates in conjunction
with a count down timer.
1. Press ”COOK TIME” button.
(0:00
will display in clock display and
COOK TIME will illuminate under
display. HR will display above 0: and
MIN will display above :00.)
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.
3. Push in “SELECTOR” to accept time or after 5 seconds, time will
auto-accept.
4. Set OVEN FUNCTION and OVEN TEMPERATURE as detailed in
“
Set Oven Function and Temperature”
on page 23.
(Timer will activate and count down once OVEN FUNCTION and
OVEN TEMPERATURE have been activated. There will be an audible
beep at 1 minute and 3 long beeps when time expires (0:00). Pressing
”CLEAR” button will deactivate timer at any time.)
Note:
Cook timer does not count down during PREHEAT mode.
