BAKE (Two-
Element Bake)
F
ull power heat is
radiated from the
bake element in
the bottom of the
oven cavity and
s
upplemental heat is
r
adiated from the
b
roil element. This conventional baking/roasting is
particularly suitable for dishes which require a high
temperature. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be
cooked in the conventional manner. Use this setting for
baking, roasting, and casseroles. This function is
recommended for single rack baking.
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.
When roasting using this setting, cool air is quickly
replaced, searing meats on the outside and retaining more
juices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage.
With this heating method, foods can be baked and roasted
at the same time with minimal taste transfer, even when
different dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat.
The hot air system is especially economical when thawing
frozen food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.
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
b
reads, quick breads, and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other
b
aked goods come out evenly textured with golden crusts.
N
o 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)
T
he convection
e
lement 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.
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.

Rear and Front Elements
P
ush in and turn the control knob
c
ounterclockwise to the desired
setting. The element will adjust
the power output to maintain the
desired heat setting. Some
elements have a “Boost” feature.
A
boost of power is provided for
1
0 minutes and is used for quickly boiling
w
ater when the element is turned to HI. When
finished boiling, turn the control knob to Med HI to
maintain the boil or to a lower setting for steaming,
warming, and simmering sauces.
Remember that induction cooking is instantaneous
and boiling time is decreased when using the proper
induction cookware.
Surface Indicator Lights
The surface indicator lights are
located at the
front of the
glass cooktop.
The indicator
lights are used
to indicate
activation, hot
surface, and warnings.
Induction Cookware
Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which
reacts with iron in the base of cookware, instantly
transforming the pot or pan into the heat source.
The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your
cookware MUST have a magnetic layer of steel for
your induction cooktop to operate properly. The
cookware should have a flat, heavy magnetic bottom
and straight sides with a diameter of 5” (13 cm) to
12” (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized
elements. The induction cookware should be in
good condition and free from excessive dents on
the bottom to provide maximum performance and
convenience.
All Viking cookware is induction friendly, as are most
other high-end brands of stainless steel and enamel
Induction Cookware (cont.)
c
ookware. Most induction cookware will be suitable
f
or your induction cooktop if a magnet adheres to the
bottom surface.
• Cookware that is NOT suitable for your
induction cooktop includes pottery, glass,
aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type of
c
ookware with a footed base.

your personal requirements.
C A U T I O N
DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil
dry. The cookware can absorb an excessive
amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible
damage to the cookware and ceramic glass
C A U T I O N
To avoid risk of property damage, DO NOT use cast
iron cookware. Cast iron retains heat and may
result in damage to the range top.

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 the 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.
