GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged
into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Check Installation Instructions for proper location
for the power supply.
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt
60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected
electrical supply. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be
provided.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUND-
ING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
Note:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither Viking nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the
microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the
correct electrical connection procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your
radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit,
relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or
check the position and signal of the receiving antenna.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it
for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave
cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn
the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave
oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the mi-
crowave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the mag-
netron cycling on and off.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and
the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses
in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the microwave oven back must
not be blocked.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the
cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depend-
ing on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens
have a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil
cooking.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to
dry clothes or newspapers.
Your microwave output is rated 850 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In
using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum time and
add time accordingly.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervis-
ing person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising
person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not,
he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven
door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove
coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because
they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill, he/she
can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 35
for Child Lock feature.

DISH CHECK If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the
empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish
becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase.
Evaluate carefully before you purchase, so that they meet your needs. A
microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when
using microwave-only cooking. Viking is not responsible for any damage to
the microwave oven when accessories are used.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and
add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions:
paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield any thin areas of meat or poultry with small flat pieces of aluminum
foil to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thor-
oughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods,
as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over
at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from
top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without
overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures
have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
13

ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department
of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area
away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
TEMP
FOOD
160˚F (71˚C)
For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry,
fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F (74˚C)
For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and
carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F (77˚C)
180˚F (82˚C)
White meat of poultry.
Dark meat of poultry.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are
in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly
lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress
frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and
minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil,
your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls,
ceiling and door of microwave oven.

Note: Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may
still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals
are thawed.
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food
is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and
thinner sections of the food.
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is
above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using
Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking
Microwave on page 19. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when
you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approxi-
mately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of
frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or separate the
portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the
estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on
Power Level 3 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to
remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

SENSOR COOKING
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and
humidity) emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times
and power level for various foods and quantities.
It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.
USING SENSOR SETTINGS:
1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the
microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper
towel.
3. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on
the display. Do not open the microwave oven door or touch Stop/Clear
during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be
interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear and sensor cook-
ing will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad
and select cooking time and power. When the sensor detects the vapor
emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear on display.
At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
4. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed,
continue to cook with variable power and time.
5. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly, ERROR will be displayed, and
the microwave oven will turn off.
6. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Help pad when the HELP indicator
is lighted in the display.
7. At the end of any cycle, open the door or touch Stop/Clear pad. The time
of day will reappear on the display.
SELECTING FOODS:
1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example,
food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and
popcorn at room temperature.
2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked
by time and variable power.
COVERING FOODS:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the
chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking.
Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to
allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
23
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when
cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turntable when baking potatoes.
4. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure.
If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away
from you.
REHEAT
TURNTABLE ON:
You can reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You don’t need to
calculate reheating time or power level. To reheat food with turntable on,
simply touch the Reheat pad.
• Suppose you want to heat prepared chili.
Touch Reheat pad.
When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of reheating
time will appear. After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.
TURNTABLE OFF:
You may reheat using a 11”x8”x2” or 13”x9”x2” casserole with the turntable
off. First touch Turntable On/Off and note indicator. Then touch Reheat. The
display will indicate turntable off and microwave oven will start automatically.
After cooking, follow the instructions on the display.
POPCORN
• Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn.
Touch Popcorn pad once.
This sensor setting works well with most brands of microwave popcorn. You
may wish to try several and choose your favorite. Pop only one bag at a time.
Unfold the bag and place in oven according to directions.

This section of the Use and Care Manual gives you specific cooking instruc-
tions and procedures. Please consult your Viking Convection Microwave Hood
Cookbook for helpful hints for convection and combination cooking.
The microwave oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and
it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate. You may remove the
turntable when preheating the microwave oven and when preparing food
to be cooked directly on the turntable.
Caution: The microwave oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable sup-
port, racks and dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven
gloves when removing the food or turntable from the microwave oven.
CONVECTION COOKING
During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout the microwave
oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly. This microwave oven
can be programmed for ten different convection cooking temperatures for

CLEANING AND CARE
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate
the microwave oven during cleaning.
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water;
rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive
cleaner.
DOOR
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a
damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may
stain, streak or dull the door surface.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel
becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the
panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch
Stop/Clear pad.
INTERIOR - AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces;
therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean
the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil,
use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER
SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE
OVEN.

INTERIOR - AFTER CONVECTION, MIX OR BROIL
COOKING
Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after
use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters
may occur if microwave oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long
time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven
cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it—not a soap filled steel pad—for
use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions care-
fully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the
perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly
and polish dry.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is made from mica so it requires special care. Keep
the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave oven performance.
Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the
cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause
smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the microwave oven. To re-
move, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several
whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using
100% power. Allow to set in microwave oven until cool. Wipe interior with
a soft cloth.
TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT
The ceramic turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy clean-
ing. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser
and scouring sponge as described above. They are also dishwasher-safe
using top rack.
MICROWAVE OVEN RACKS
The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy cleaning and stored
awayfromthemicrowaveovenwhenracksarenotneeded. Aftereachuse, wash
them in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a mild kitchen cleanser
and scouring sponge as described above. They are dishwasher-proof.
GREASE FILTERS
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or
microwave oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull the ring toward the front of the microwave oven, down slightly and

remove the filter. Repeat for the other
filter.
2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan
filled with hot water and detergent.
DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali;
they will react with the filter material
and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to re-
move embedded dirt.
Filter
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
Ring
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into
the opening.
FAN
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from the cooking surface
and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used. This
protects the microwave oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan will
stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off manually
during this time.
For other uses, select either high or low speed.
PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE:
1. DO NOT leave cooking surface unattended while using high temperatures.
Automatic fan may start and provide excessive air to the surface units. This
may cause spattering or boilover.
2. Avoid burning food.
3. Keep grease filters clean.
LIGHT
1. To replace light bulbs, first discon-
nect power to the microwave oven
at the circuit breaker panel or by
unplugging.
2. To release cover remove the screw
on the light cover. (See illustra-
tion.)
3. Replace bulbs with only 20 watt and
40 watt bulbs. These are available
