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, 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.  
*This function uses a high-speed convection fan for optimum  
cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed from this high fan  
speed. This is normal.

push buttons and the “SET” knob. Both the Bake Hours mode and  
the Min/Sec Timer mode can be used to time cooking periods.  
These features can even be used at the same time when both ovens  
are in use. However, only Bake Hours and Self-Cleaning modes  
shut the oven off automatically when the timed program is over.  
For example, you can time bake a casserole in the upper oven using  
the Bake Hours mode, while broiling in the lower oven using the  
Min/Sec Timer. One oven can also be cleaned while timing foods  
in the other oven using the Min/Sec Timer.  
Setting the Automatic Start Time Bake Program  
The Bake Hours and Start Time modes of the timer can be used to  
automatically turn the oven on and off at a preselected time. The  
Automatic Time Bake program is ideal for foods with no danger of

selected temperature.  
To set the Automatic Time Bake Program  
1. Set the start time:  
NOTE: At one minute from the end of the specified bake program,  
the oven timer will beep once. At the end of the specified bake  
program, the oven will automatically turn off and the timer will  
sound a series of three beeps. This will continue until the “start  
time” button is pressed. The display will then return to displaying  
the time.  
A) For Single Ovens – Program the start time by pressing the  
“start time” button and turning the “Set” knob until the desired  
start time is displayed. This is the time of day you want the food  
to begin cooking.  
B) For Double Ovens – Press the “start time” button once to set  
the starting time for the upper oven (UPPER OVEN will show on  
the display). Press the “start time” button twice to set the  
starting time for the lower oven (LOWER OVEN will show on the  
display). Then program the start time by turning the “Set” knob  
until the desired start time is displayed. This is the time of day  
you want the food to begin cooking.  
NOTE: Setting the remaining duration time to :00 will cancel the  
Automatic Bake program.

Meat Probe Functions  
Cooking with your Oven  
Probe Function  
(Premiere Models)  
Rack Positions  
Probe  
Cable  
Each oven is equipped with three tilt-proof racks. Premiere  
models have two standard tilt-proof racks and one TruGlide™  
rack. With the TruGlide™ rack, the bottom section remains in the  
oven and the top section smoothly glides outward when pulled.  
This reduces the chances of spills from items that contain alot of  
juice or liquid. This rack can be used in any of the six rack  
positions.  
The meat probe takes the guesswork  
out of roasting by cooking foods to  
the ideal internal temperature. The  
probe temperature setting is used to  
automatically turn the oven off when  
the internal temperature of the meat  
being roasted is reached.  
Handles  
Plug  
All ovens have six rack positions. Position 6 is the farthest from  
the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom.  
The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels.  
For best results with conventional baking, do not use more than  
one rack at a time. It is also recommended, when using two racks,  
to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.  
To Set the Automatic Probe  
Function  
1. Insert probe into the meat and slide into oven.  
2. Plug the probe into the outlet located on left interior wall of  
the oven and close oven door.  
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions BEFORE  
heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time,  
use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.  
3. Select cooking function and set temperature.  
4. Press the “PROBE TEMP” button.  
5. Turn the “SET” knob to the desired internal temperature. The  
word PROBE and the desired internal temperature will be  
displayed on the lower right of the clock. On Double Ovens,  
the manual/timed control must be turned to “upper timed.”  
NOTE: It is recommended to set the internal temperature  
about 10 degrees lower than actual desired internal  
temperature. The meat will continue to cook when removed  
from the oven and will reach desired internal temperature while  
“standing”.  
2. Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function. Cooking  
starts immediately and stops when the Oven Function selector  
is turned to OFF.  
3. Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.  
4. Place the food in the oven after the Oven Indicator light goes  
out.  
The word PROBE flashes, tone sounds three times, and oven shuts  
off when desired temperature is reached. The tone will sound twice  
every ten seconds after completion until probe function is closed.

WARNING  
To avoid sickness and food waste when using automatic time baking:  
• Do not use foods that will spoil while waiting for cooking to start,  
such as dishes with milk or eggs, cream soups, custards, fish, pork,  
poultry, or foods with stuffing.  
• Any food that has to wait for cooking to start should be very cold  
or frozen before it is placed in the oven.  
• Do not use foods containing baking powder or yeast when  
automatic time baking. They will not rise properly.  
• Do not allow food to remain in the oven for more than two hours  
after the end of the cooking cycle.

Conventional/Convection Cooking  
Baking Tips  
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency,  
some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional  
bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended  
when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other  
foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake.  
This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique  
which utilizes fan forces air to circulate heat throughout the entire oven  
cavity creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with  
convection is intended when performing multi-rack baking and for  
baking heavier foods. Below are some tips which will allow you to get  
the best results out of your oven when cooking with convection.  
• 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.  
•As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25° F (10° C) when  
using a convection cooking function.  
•Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the  
same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller  
load then it is possible to have 10-15% reduction in cooking time.  
(Remember convection cooking is designed for multi-rack baking or  
cooking large loads).  
•If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes then it is  
possible to see a 10% - 15% reduction in cooking time. This is  
especially true for large items cooked in the convection roast function.  
•A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods  
in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods  
that can be prepared on two or three racks at the same time include:  
pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience  
foods.  
•For three-rack baking, use any combination of rack positions 2, 3, 4,  
and 5. For two-rack baking, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3  
and 5. Remember that the racks are numbered from bottom to top.  
•Items cooked in a convection function can be easily over baked. This  
being the case, it is usually a good idea to pull items out of the oven  
just before they seem to be done. Items will continue to cook right  
after they are set out of the oven.  
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.  
Single Rack Pan  
Placement  
Multiple Rack Pan  
Placement  
•Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require  
adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection  
modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the  
recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow  
the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food is  
not prepared to your satisfaction during this first convection trial,  
adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position,  
or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting  
one recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved.

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.  
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.  
Note: Certain functions include a PREHEAT cycle. Once set  
temperature has been reached, the oven will automatically  
exit PREHEAT and follow NORMAL OPERATION mode.  
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 BAKE mode.

Solving Baking Problems  
Roasting Instructions  
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the Baking Problem  
chart for the causes and recommended remedies for the most common  
problems. It is important to remember that the temperature setting and  
cooking times you are accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary  
slightly from those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is  
necessary for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.  
Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The  
hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item that is being  
roasted. Do not cover what is being roasted. Convection roasting  
seals in juices quickly for a moist, tender product. Poultry will have  
a light, crispy skin and meats will be browned, not dry or burned.  
Cook meats and poultry directly from the refrigerator. There is no  
need for meat or poultry to stand at room temperature.  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25° F (-3.9° C) and the  
cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%.  
COMMON BAKING PROBLEM / REMEDIES

• Always roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting

• When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into  
the center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry  
insert the thermometer probe between the body and leg into  
the thickest part of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should  
not touch bone, fat, or gristle to ensure an accurate reading.  
Check the meat temperature halfway through the recommended  
roasting time. After reading the thermometer once, insert it  
¼inch (1.3 cm) further into the meat, then take a second  
reading. If the second temperature registers below the first,  
continue cooking the meat.

• Roasting times always vary according to the size, shape and  
quality of meats and poultry. Less tender cuts of meat are best  
prepared in the conventional bake setting and may require  
moist cooking techniques. Remove roasted meats from the  
oven when the thermometer registers 5° F (2° C) to 10° F  
(4° C) lower than the desired doneness. The meat will  
continue to cook after removal from the oven. Allow roasts  
to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting in order to make  
carving easier.

Using the Meat Probe  
(Premiere Models)  
Conventional Roasting Chart  
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food  
temperature is the best test for doneness. The meat probe takes  
the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact  
doneness you want. NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in  
the upper oven only.

Broiling Instructions  
Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or radiant heat.  
It is used for small, individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and  
patties. Broiling speed is determined by the distance between the  
food and the broil element. Choose the rack position based on  
desired results.

Conventional broiling is most successful for cuts of meat 1-2 inches  
thick and is also more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Convection  
broiling has the advantage of broiling food slightly quicker than  
conventional. Convection broiling of meats produces better results,  
especially for thick cuts. The meat sears on the outside and retains  
more juices and natural flavor inside with less shrinkage.

• Remove the broiler pan from the oven when you remove the  
food. Drippings will bake onto the pan if it is left in the heated  
oven after broiling. While pan is hot, place damp paper towel  
over grid. Drizzle with liquid dishwashing detergent and pour  
water over grid. This will make cleaning of the pan easier, or  
the broiler pan can be lined with aluminum foil to make  
cleaning easier. Be sure the foil extends up the side of the pan.  
Although it is not recommended, the grid can also be covered  
with foil. Be sure to slit openings to conform with the openings  
in the grid so melted fat can drain through to prevent  
spattering, smoking, or the possibility of grease fire.

Convection Dehydrate/Defrost  
Cleaning & Maintenance  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no  
exception. Your oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.  
Convection Dehydrate  
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits  
and vegetables.  
Oven Surfaces  
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 TruConvec™.  
Several different finishes have been used in your electric oven.  
Cleaning instructions for each surface are given below. Your oven  
features a Self-Clean cycle for the oven interior. See pages  
35-38 for complete instructions. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL  
WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS, CLEANSERS, OVEN  
CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN  
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.  
Convection Defrost  
1. Place the frozen food on a baking sheet.  
2. Set the temperature control to OFF.*  
3. Turn the selector to TruConvec™.  
Control Knobs  
MAKE SURE ALL THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF  
POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash  
in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by  
pushing firmly onto stem.  
*IMPORTANT  
Do not turn on the temperature control. Turning the convection fan  
on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the  
heat.  
Stainless Steel Parts  
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot  
soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid  
cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do the  
job. NOTE: It is not recommended that stainless steel cleaner be  
used on any surface that contains graphics, such as the control  
panel area. For these areas containing graphics, it is recommended  
to only use hot, soapy water for cleaning. Do not use steel wool,  
abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless  
steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels  
to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or  
scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool  
to scrape stainless steel. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to  
remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently  
discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
WARNING  
To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food  
to remain in the oven for more than two hours.

Brass Parts  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
To Prevent Personal Injury  
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.  
DO NOT USE BRASS CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON  
ANY BRASS PARTS. All brass body parts should be wiped  
regularly with hot soapy water. When hot soapy water will not  
do the job, use every day household cleaners that are not  
abrasive.  
Before removing the doors, make sure the pins are properly  
installed in the hinges. Failure to do so can result in personal  
injury to hands and/or fingers.  
Broiler Pan and Grid  
WARNING  
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a  
soap-filled steel wool pad.  
Burn or Electrical Shock Hazard  
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before  
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.  
Oven Racks  
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be  
scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE  
OVEN RACKS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could  
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.  
The oven rack supports are designed to remain in the oven during  
the Self-Clean cycle.  
CAUTION  
Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning  
cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the  
touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,  
there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the  
binder in the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the  
insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During  
subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor  
characteristic of high temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-  
vented during the self-cleaning cycle.  
Meat Probe  
The meat probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-  
filled scouring pad. Cool the probe before cleaning. Scour  
stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.  
• Do not immerse the meat probe in water.  
• Do not store the probe in the oven.  
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:  
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the  
oven. The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can  
discolor, warp, and damage these items. The oven rack  
supports are designed to remain in the oven during the Self-  
Clean cycle. Do not use foil or liners in the oven. During the Self-  
Clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.  
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. Never  
use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised  
portions of the door.  
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the  
cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very  
difficult to clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the  
gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with  
detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Self-Clean Cycle  
Replacing Interior Halogen Oven Lights  
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle.  
During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order  
to burn off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps  
reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash  
residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the Self-  
Clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting  
the Self-Clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot be  
opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.
