Warnings  
Warnings  
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.  
Child Safety (cont.)  
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot.  
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.  
Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not  
be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.  
Cooking Safety  
NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite  
flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may  
cause them to burst.  
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet  
storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided,  
it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safe  
to store in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may  
be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or  
aerosol sprays.  
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and  
may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an 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 range as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted  
surface burner.  
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items  
may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.  
DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads,  
mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.  
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure  
you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct  
burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is  
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to  
burner flame.  
ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the  
bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy  
and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.  
This is based on safety considerations.  
In Case of Fire  
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish  
flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.  
Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.  
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.  
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door. DO NOT use water  
on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to  
smother fire or flame.  
GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT  
use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be extinguished with  
baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type  
extinguisher. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow  
grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers  
immediately.  
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using  
a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and  
greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.  
• DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.  
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause  
the container to explode and result in injury.  
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.  
Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders  
because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on  
appliance parts.  
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before  
attempting to move or handle.  
DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or  
near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent  
grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the  
hood, turn the fan off.  
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or  
long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil  
handles. DO NOT drape towels or materials on oven door handles.  
These items could ignite and cause burns.  
Child Safety  
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in  
use or is still hot.  
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they  
could be injured or burned.  
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to  
reach items could be seriously injured.

Cooking Safety (cont.)  
Utensil Safety (cont.)  
ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool.  
Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pot-holders.  
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must  
be moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.  
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are  
suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without breaking due to the  
sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when  
using glass.  
ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.  
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before  
moving or replacing food.  
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could  
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only  
as directed in this guide.  
NEVER cook with the oven door open. This could result in control panel and  
knobs reaching a higher than normal temperature.  
• 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,  
stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. 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.  
• The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of  
the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of  
adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This  
is based on safety considerations.  
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a  
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise  
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The  
food could be contaminated  
.
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE  
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.  
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation  
Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The  
use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and  
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is  
well-ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical  
ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call  
for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation  
(such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).  
Heating Elements  
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or interior surfaces of oven.  
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas  
near burners and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to  
cause burns.  
During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces  
of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the  
oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent  
opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.  
Utensil Safety  
Cleaning 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. Also  
avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be  
unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food  
may also be hazardous.  
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or  
cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until  
they have had sufficient time to cool.  
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge  
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce  
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers.  
Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will  
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 utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent  
surface 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 small  
children.  
DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care  
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.  
• No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating such as  
aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven.  
Improper oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep  
oven free from grease buildup.  
NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.  
• Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.

attempting to light and extinguish the burners, the burners should not  
be used during a power failure under any circumstances.. The burner  
controls should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power  
failure.  
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State  
of California to cause cancer.  
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State  
of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.  
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in  
the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the  
listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances  
can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening  
the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during  
the self-clean cycle.  
Power Failure  
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be  
made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the oven  
control is in the “OFF” position.  
Important notice regarding pet birds:  
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when  
the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function  
properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect range  
operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the range is in the  
self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until power is restored and  
allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls off and restart self-clean  
cycle again, according to instructions.

Surface Operation  
Surface Operation  
Our ranges are equipped with an exclusive restaurant style sealed burner  
system. This unique burner system is equipped with 23,000 BTU front  
burners, 15,000 BTU rear burners and one 8,000 rear burner.  
Vari-Simmer™  
Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot  
liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. Simmering  
ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening  
and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and the volume of food can have  
a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering.  
For this reason, Viking range and rangetop burners are engineered with a  
Vari-Simmer setting. The Vari-Simmer setting is not just one simmer  
setting, but provides a variable range of simmer settings. This variable  
range of simmer settings allows you to adjust the flame height to achieve  
the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of food being  
simmered. It is this ability that makes the Vari-Simmer setting the most  
accurate and trustworthy simmer on the market.  
The 23,000 BTU burners are designed to provide extra high heat output,  
expecially when using large pans, and should be used for boiling large  
quantities or if you need to bring something to a boil quickly. While the high  
output 23,000 BTU burners have the extra power needed to bring large  
quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, they are also able to be turned down low  
enough to provide a very low and delicate simmer making this the most  
versatile burner system on the market.  
Lighting Burners  
All burners are ignited by electric ignition.  
There are no open-flame, “standing”  
pilots.  
Surface Cooking Tips  
• Use low or medium flame heights when cooking in vessels 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  
cooking vessel diameter. This will ensure more even heating within  
the cooking vessel and reduce the likelihood of burning or  
scorching the food.  
Surface Burners-Automatic  
Reignition  
To light the surface burners, push and turn  
the appropriate control knob counter  
clockwise to any position. This control is  
both a gas valve and an electric switch.  
Burners will ignite at any “ON” position  
with the automatic re-ignition system. If  
• Reduce the flame if it is extending beyond the bottom of the  
cooking vessel. A flame that extends along the sides of the vessel is  
potentially dangerous, heats the utensil handle and kitchen instead  
of the food, and wastes energy.  
the flame goes out for any reason, the  
burners will automatically reignite if the  
gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric  
igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking”  
sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged  
in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.  
• 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 wastes energy, cooks away moisture,  
and causes a loss in food flavor and nutrient level.  
• The minimum pot or pan (vessel) diameter recommended is 6”  
(15 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but  
not recommended.  
Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light.  
When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to adjust the  
flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired cooking process  
and selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in superior cooking  
performance, while also saving time and energy.

Griddle/Simmer Plate  
Surface Operation  
(on applicable models)  
The optional 15,000 BTU griddle is constructed of machined steel with  
a chrome finish and is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking  
performance as well as easy clean up. The griddle is equipped with an  
electronic thermostat to maintain an even temperature across the  
griddle once the desired temperature has been set. The griddle has a  
power “ON” indicator light which glows when the griddle thermostat  
has been turned on. This will cycle on and off as needed to indicate  
the thermostat is maintaining the selected temperature.

Cooking Vessels  
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 cooking vessels are suitable for use  
in the range and it is not necessary to replace  
your present domestic vessels with commercial  
cookware. 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.

• Routinely scrape loose food particles with a heat resistant plastic or  
wooden spatula during cooking to make the cleanup easier and to avoid  
the particles mixing with the food.  
To turn the griddle off, turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the “OFF”  
position.  
• ALWAYS turn to the“OFF” position when not in use and lower the heat  
between cooking loads.  
Note: On griddle model ranges, the griddle/simmer plate will not  
function during the self-clean cycle.  
Gentle Close Door Feature  
All oven doors come standard with a gentle close feature. The  
door will remain in an open position until the door is  
approximately 5” (12.7 cm) away from the oven. When reaching  
this point, the door will require a slight push to engage the gentle  
close mechaism. The closing speed of the door will vary according  
to the oven temperature.  
Griddle/Simmer Plate Clean Up & Care  
• AFTER the griddle has cooled, simply wipe down the surface with a clean  
cloth or paper towel. The chrome griddle plate can then be removed  
and taken to the sink for easy cleanup.  
• After heavy cooking is completed and the griddle is still warm enough to  
create steam, pour a small amount of club soda at room temperature  
directly on the griddle. Using a heat resistant or wooden spatula, pull oils  
and food particles toward the trough in front. Wipe entire surface with a  
paper towel.  
Rack Positions  
The 36”W. and 48” W. right-hand oven is equipped with two full  
extension glide racks and one standard tilt-proof rack. The 18” left-  
hand oven is equipped with two standard tilt-proof racks. 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.  
• Non-stick cooking spray is not recommended as it contains a high water  
content that has a tendency to burn quickly.  
• Corn oil is not recommended as it has a high sugar level. It will  
caramelize and burn on the surface making it very difficult to remove.  
• After using the griddle, always remove the grease trough located in the  
front. Simply pull the trough towards you and lift out. The trough or tray  
trap needs to be cleaned after each use. A fire hazard may occur if  
grease is accumulated in the trough.  
• Important: Never flood a hot griddle with cold water. This thermal shock  
promotes griddle warping and can cause the griddle to crack if  
continued over a period of time.  
CAUTION: Chrome griddle plate is Not Dishwasher Safe  
Optional Nonstick griddle/grill accessory plate is available for purchase.

BAKE  
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. It  
is recommended to use this function for single-rack baking.

Full power heat is radiated from  
the bake burners in the bottom  
of the oven cavity and is

circulated with natural airflow.  
This function is recommended  
for single rack baking. Many  
cookbooks contain recipes to be  
cooked in the conventional manner. Conventional baking is suitable for  
dishes that require a high temperature. Use this setting for baking and  
casseroles.  
Convection cooking is a technique utilizing fan-forced air which is  
circulated throughout the entire oven cavity creating the optimum  
cooking environment. Cooking with convection is intended when  
performing multi-rack baking and for heavier foods. Below are some  
tips which will allow you to get the best results out of your oven when  
cooking with convection.  
• As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection  
recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F (14°C) when using a  
convection cooking function.  
To Use BAKE Function  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
oven on.  
• 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.)  
2. Close the door.  
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to desired temperature.

• If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is  
possible to see a 10-15% reduction in cooking time.  
• 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 of three racks at the same time  
include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen  
convenience foods.

heated air is circulated by one  
motorized fan in the rear of the  
oven providing a more even  
heat distribution. Multiple rack  
• 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.  
use is possible for the largest  
baking job. 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. This even circulation of air equalizes the  
temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and  
cold spots found in conventional ovens.  
To Use CONVECTION BAKE Function  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning oven on.  
2. Close the door.  
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to desired temperature and

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.

CONV ROAST* (Convection  
Roast)  
Roasting Tips (cont.)  
• 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  
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  
1
reading the thermometer once, insert it 2 inch (1.3 cm) further into  
the meat, then take a second reading. If the second temperature  
registers below the first, continue cooking the meat.  
gained over existing, single fan  
convection roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys, whole  
chickens, hams, etc.  
• 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 (3°C) to 10˚ F (6°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.  
*Note: 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.  
Note: You can also roast foods using bake settings. See the “Baking”  
section for additional information.  
Roasting Tips  
ALWAYS use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The  
hot air must be allowed to circulate around the item 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 (14°C) and the cooking  
time by approximately 10 to 15%.  
ALWAYS roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting  
rack. No basting is required when the fat side is up. DO NOT add  
water to the pan as this will cause a steamed effect. Roasting is a dry  
heat process.  
• Poultry should be placed breast side up on a rack in a shallow pan.  
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during  
roasting.  
• For convection roasting, DO NOT use pans with tall sides as this will  
interfere with the circulation of heated air over the food.  
• If using a cooking bag, foil tent, or other cover, use the conventional  
bake setting rather than either convection setting.

Broiling  
Broiling  
Broiling Instructions  
To Use Broil or Convection Broil  
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.  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
broiler on.  
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your  
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.  
3. Set the oven temperature control knob to “Broil”. Turn on the  
convection fan switch if you wish to convection broil.  
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open  
broil stop position.With open door broiling the broil element does  
not cycle on and off and could cause the control panel and knobs to  
reach a higher than normal temperature. With closed door broiling  
the broil element might cycle on and off if an extended broiling time  
is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of the oven  
helps reduce smoke and odors.  
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.

Broiling Tips  
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.  
ALWAYS use a broiler pan and grid for broiling. They are designed  
to provide drainage of excess liquid and fat away from the cooking  
surface to help prevent splatter, smoke, and fire.  
To keep meat from curling, slit fatty edge.  
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they broil to  
prevent drying out. To prevent sticking, lightly grease broiler tray.  
• Broil on first side for slightly more than half the recommended time,  
season, and turn. Season second side just before removing.  
ALWAYS pull rack out to stop position before turning or removing  
food.  
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.  
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn meats. NEVER pierce meat with a  
fork, as this allows the juices to escape.  
• 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.  
To Use Broil or Convection Broil  
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning  
broiler on.  
2. Center the food on cold broiler pan and grid supplied with your  
oven. Place broiler pan in oven.  
3. Set the oven function selector to desired broiling function and the  
temperature control knob to “Broil”.  
Rack Positions for Broiling  
Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is the  
closest to the oven bottom.  
4. Close the door. There is not a detent to hold the door in the open  
broil stop position. With open door broiling the broil element does  
not cycle on and off and could cause the control panel and knobs  
to reach a higher than normal temperature. With closed door  
broiling the broil element might cycle on and off if an extended  
broiling time is required. A built-in smoke "eliminator" in the top of  
the oven helps reduce smoke and odors.

Convection Dehydrate  
This oven is designed not only to cook, but also to dehydrate fruits  
and vegetables. Warm air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of  
the oven and over a period of time, the water is removed from the  
food by evaporation. Removal of water inhibits growth of  
microorganisms and retards the activity of enzymes. It is important to  
remember that dehydration does not improve the quality, so only  
fresh, top-quality foods should be used.

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Cleaning and Maintenance  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained  
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your range  
must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all  
controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if you are going to  
clean thoroughly with water.  
Note: For stubborn stains, use a non abrasive cleanser such as Bon  
Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.  
Cleaning Tip: For difficult to clean burner heads and bases, place parts  
in a zip seal bag with ammonia.  
Surface Burners  
Burner Flange  
Wipe up spill-overs as soon as possible  
after they occur and before they get a  
chance to burn in and cook solid. In the  
event of a spill-over, follow these steps:  
• Allow the burner and grate to cool to a  
safe temperature level.  
After the burner flange has cooled, it  
should be wiped with hot soapy water but  
do not allow water to run or drip in the  
large center opening. DO NOT use steel  
wool, abrasive cloths, cleanser, or  
powders. To remove encrusted materials,  
soak the area with a hot towel to loosen  
the material, then use a wooden or nylon  
spatula.  
DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any  
other metal tool to scrape the burner flange.  
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top surface.  
• Replace burner base, burner head, and grates after drying  
thoroughly.  
• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm  
soapy water.  
• Remove the burner head and burner  
base and clean.  
Burner Heads  
The surface burner heads should be routinely removed and cleaned.  
ALWAYS clean the burner heads after a spill-over. Keeping the burner  
heads clean will prevent improper ignition and uneven flames. To clean,  
pull burner head straight up from the burner base. Wipe off with warm,  
soapy water and a soft cloth after each use. Use a non-abrasive cleanser  
such as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad for cooked-  
on foods. If ports on burner head are clogged, clean with a straight pin.  
DO NOT enlarge or distort the ports. DO NOT use a toothpick to clean  
the ports. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. For

CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN  
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.  
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 cleaning temperatures.  
VDR models Your oven features a self-clean cycle for the oven  
interior. See the “Self-Clean Cycle” section for complete instructions.  
Stainless Steel Parts  
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy  
water after they have cooled and with a liquid cleaner designed for that  
material when soapy water will not do the job. 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  
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. 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.  
stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.  
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.  
Glass Surfaces  
Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to  
remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it  
does not run down on exterior door surface.  
Broiler Pan and Grid  
WARNING  
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.  
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-  
filled steel wool pad.  
Oven Racks  
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured  
with a soap-filled steel wool pad.  
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.
