Summary of Content for Viking DGCU105 Cooktop Quick Reference Guide PDF

Surface Operation Lighting the Burners Burners light at any position on the knob and re-light if extinguished, even at the lowest setting.

Rear and Font Burners Push in and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the desired setting. The control knobs can be turned to any desired setting as the knobs do not have fixed positions between Hi and Simmer.

Note: The igniters may click a number of times before the burner ignites. This is normal. All igniters will spark regardless of which burner is being operated.

Surface Cooking Tips The simmer line on the control panel is the

beginning of the variable simmer setting and produces a high simmer setting. Turn the knob slowly towards OFF and the flame will adjust to a lower simmer setting.

Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in cookware that are poor conductors of heat, such as glass, ceramic, and cast iron. Reduce the flame height until it covers approximately 1/3 of the cookware diameter. This will ensure more even heating within the cookware and reduce the likelihood of burning or scorching the food.

Reduce the flame if it is extended beyond the bottom of the cookware. A flame that extends along the sides of the cookware is potentially dangerous, heats the cookware handle and kitchen instead of the food, and wastes energy.

Reduce the flame height to the minimum level necessary to perform the desired cooking process. Remember that food cooks just as quickly at a gentle boil as it does at a rolling boil. Maintaining a higher boil than is necessary causes a loss in food flavor and nutrients.

DO NOT attempt to adjust, repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified servicer.

D A N G E R Hazards or unsafe practices which WILL result in severe personal injury or death

W A R N I N G Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in death severe personal injury or death

C A U T I O N Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD

result in minor personal injury. All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you

how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

W A R N I N G DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.

W A R N I N G BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD To avoid risk of injury or death, make sure all controls are OFF and surface is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

C A U T I O N BURN HAZARD To avoid risk of injury, DO NOT touch the glass. The cooktop will get hot during usage.

Important notice regarding pet birds: NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage Be sure all packing materials are removed from the

appliance before operating it. Keep area around appliance clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Before Using Cooktop All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Clean the surface of your cooktop before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with hot soapy water is recommended. A thorough cleaning with a glass cleaner is recommended for the glass gas cooktop.

Cookware Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. Any and all cookware, including Viking cookware, is suitable for use. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Note: When using big pots and/or high flames, it is recommended to use the front burners. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup at rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.

Cookware Safety Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are

easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Pans with heavy handles (especially small pans) could be unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Pan should accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by children.

NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the cookware and the appliance.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface element.

Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may
