Baking Tips
• 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.
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.

Cooking with your 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 B AKE 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:
Certain functions include a PREHEAT cycle. Once set
temperature has been reached, the oven will automatically exit
PREHEAT and follow NORMAL OPERATION mode.
