Surface Operation Controls BAKE (Two- Element Bake) Full power heat is radiated from the bake element in the bottom of the oven cavity and supplemental heat is radiated from the broil element. This function is recommended for single rack baking. Many cookbooks contain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

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 racksa 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

About the Cooktop Surface Elements Single radiant elements will have one round outline pattern shown on the cooktop and should be used when cooking with smaller cooking vessels. Dual radiant elements allows the user to set the smaller inner element alone or both the inner and outer elements may be used together when using medium to larger sized cookware. Triple element allows the use to set the smaller inner element, both inner and middle elements or all three elements if using larger sized cookware such as a stock pot.

Single Front or Rear Element Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the desired heat setting. When finished, turn all controls to OFF.

Hot Surface Indicator Lights The range has five hot surface indicator lights. They are located in the front center of the glass rangetop. The hot surface indicator light will glow red when the corresponding element is heated. The light will remain on after turning off the control knob until the corresponding element has cooled to a safe temperature.

Oven Functions 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.

BAKE (Two-Element Bake) Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

CONV BAKE (Convection Bake) Use this setting to bake and roast foods at the same time with minimal taste transfer.

TRU CONV (TruConvec) Use this bake setting for multi-rack baking for breads, cakes, cookies (up to 6 racks of cookies at once).

CONV ROAST (Convection Roast) Use this setting for roasting whole turkeys, whole chickens, hams, etc.

CONV BROIL (Convection Broil) Use this setting to broil thick cuts of meat.

HI BROIL Use this setting for broiling dark meats at 1 thickness or less where rare or medium doneness is desired.

MED BROIL Use this setting for broiling white meats such as chicken or meats greater than 1 thick that would be over-browned in high broil.

LOW BROIL Use this setting for delicate broiling such as meringue.

SELF CLEAN Use this function to clean oven.

Convection Dehydration (TRU CONV) Use this function to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.

Convection Defrost (TRU CONV) Use this function to defrost foods.

MED BROIL Inner and outer broil elements pulse on and off to produce less heat for slow broiling. Allow about 4 inches (10 cm) between the top surface of the food and the broil element. Slow broiling is best for chicken and ham in order to broil food without over-browning it. Use this setting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

LOW BROIL This mode uses only a fraction of the available power to the inner broil element for delicate top-browning. The inner broil element is on for only part of the time. Use this setting to gently brown meringue on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4 minutes.

Convection Dehydration This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits and vegetables. 1. Prepare the food as recommended. 2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with

the oven; contact a local store handling speciality cooking utensils).

3. Set the appropriate low temperature and turn the selector to TRU CONV.

Convection Defrost 1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet. 2. Set the temperature control to OFF. 3. Turn the selector to TRU CONV.

Self-Clean Cycle This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. See Use and Care Manual for self-clean cycle instructions.

breads, quick breads, and cakes. Breads, cookies, and other baked goods come out evenly textured with golden crusts. No 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) The convection element 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.
