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.
