Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing
in this manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common
sense, caution, and care must be exercised when
installing, maintaining, or operating the appliance.
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 rangetop. 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.
• 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.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
ALWAYS contact the manufacturer about problems or
conditions you do not understand.
Cooking Safety
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• 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 safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some
items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.

DANGER
Hazards or unsafe practices which WILL
result in death or severe personal injury.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
• 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 rangetop 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.
• 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.
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

Important notice regarding pet birds:
electric power to the appliance at the main fuse or
circuit breaker before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
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.
WARNING
About Your Appliance
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
• 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).
WARNING
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user
and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT use the
rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
• 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.
WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are
• For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT
block or obstruct the oven vent duct located on the
right side of the air grille.
• Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and
for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the
oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area become
hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off,
DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas
facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and
oven window.
• The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning
on them) can result in potential hazards and/or injuries.
Heating Elements
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or
interior surfaces of oven.
OFF and oven is COOL
before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns
or electrical shock
• 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.
WARNING
Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside
the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous
fumes or can damage the finish. DO NOT line the oven
with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can
melt or burn causing permanent damage to the oven.
Utensil 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.
• 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.
Cleaning Safety
Power Failure
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
The oven door, especially the glass, can
get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT
touch the glass!
• 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.
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.
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.
• 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.

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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Eggs
• Season griddle by thinly coating the surface with ap-
proximately 1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon unsalted vegetable oil.
Apply to entire griddle using a paper towel or clean
cloth. Let oil sit on griddle for approximately 1 hour
and then wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel to
absorb any residual oil. The griddle is now ready to be
used.

Griddle/Simmer Plate Clean Up & Care
• It is not necessary to wash the griddle after every
use. When light cooking is performed and AFTER the
griddle has cooled, simply wipe down the surface with
a clean cloth or paper towel. The oils in the food which
cooked on the griddle surface will naturally season the
griddle providing a “natural”non-stick surface.
• 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 metal spatula, pull oils and
food particles toward the trough in front. Wipe entire
surface with a paper towel. Follow with the seasoning
process of applying oil.

Conventional and Convection Cooking
• 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.
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.
• Keeping the griddle well seasoned will prevent the
griddle from developing surface rust. If the griddle is
not used for a period of time, it must be re-seasoned.
The griddle must be re-seasoned each time after it is
washed.
• Note: It is normal for the griddle to darken over time.
This is the sign of a well seasoned griddle.
• 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.
Convection Cooking Tips
Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes
fan-forced air to circulate throughout the entire oven
cavity creating the optimum cooking environment.
Cooking with convection is intended when performing
multi-rack baking and for heavier foods. Following 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
(10°C) when using a convection cooking function.

Baking Tips
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position
before you turn on the oven.
Full power heat is radiated from the U-shaped bake
burner 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
• 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
item 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.
• If baking with a commercial-sized sheet pan, it is
important to note that the large width of the
commercial sheet pan has the tendency to restrict the
airflow in the oven cavity. It is recommended to use
Convection Bake to help better circulate the heat in the
oven cavity when baking with a commercial sheet pan.

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 the 3rd and 5th position for
more consistent, even baking.
• 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.

Heat is radiated from the U-shaped bake burner in the
bottom of the oven cavity. The heated air is circulated by
one motorized fan in the rear of the oven providing
a more even heat distribution. Multiple rack 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.

Broiling
Broiling
BROIL (Infrared Broil)
Broiling Instructions
Broiling Tips
Rack Positions for Broiling
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.
• 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.
• 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.
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.

The broil burner at the top of the oven heats the metal
screen until it glows. Heat radiates from the Gourmet-
Glo™ infrared broiler located at the top of the oven cavity.
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.
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.
Note: Position 6 is the closest to the broiler and position 1 is
CONVECTION BROIL (Infrared Convection Broil)
the closest to the oven bottom.
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. With
closed door broiling the broil element might cycle on
and off if an extended broiling time is required.
The top burner 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.

Convection Dehydrate/Defrost
Convection Dehydrate
BROILING CHART
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.
before setting them back on the cooking surface, they
may rust. You can also set the grates and burner caps on
top of the burner and turn the burner on high for ten to
fifteen seconds for extra drying. To prevent rusting and
discoloration, do not submerge grates in water soak for
any length of time or run them through the dishwasher.
If rust does occur, Bar Keeper’s Friend and a blue Scotch-
Brite pad will remove it. To condition grates and burner
caps, apply a light coating of mineral oil or vegetable oil.
Allow oil to soak in 15 minutes before returnng grates or
burner caps to cooking surface.
Control Panel
Things to avoid when cleaning stainless steel:
• Steel brushes or steel wool
• Abrasive cleaners
• Bleach or hydrochloric acid based cleaners
• Detergents containing chloride
• Avoid using cleaning cloths that have been used on
ordinary steel
• NEVER rub against the grain with a cleaning agent or
polish as it will alter the surface of the steel and
reduce the corrosion resistance
• 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.
DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or
abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the
control panel. Use hot, soapy water and a soft clean cloth.

as Bon Ami™ and a soft brush or soft Scotch Brite™ pad.
ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics.
Stainless Steel Parts
CLEANING TIP: For difficult to clean burner caps
and heads, place parts in a zip seal bag with ammonia.
Your Brigade range is equipped with a heavy-duty
stainless steel oven cavity which is the same as what
is commonly used in commercial and restaurant style
ranges. Over time they will naturally start to darken and
discolor. This is the standard process of how stainless
steel reacts when it is exposed to high heat tempera-
tures. The discoloration of the oven will not affect the
performance.
Burner Base
The base should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water
at the end of each cooling period. 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 base.
• Wipe up any spills which remain on the sealed top
surface.
• Replace burner cap, burner head, and grates after
drying thoroughly.
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.
While the stainless steel oven cavity will never return
to the original color, there are some steps which can
be taken to help minimize the discoloration of these
components. To ensure that the stainless steel maintains
adequate corrosion resistance, it should be cleaned regu-
larly. Surface contaminates vary in terms of corrosive-
ness, effect on surface finish, and ease of removal. The
mildest form of cleaning should always be used first.
• Lift off the burner grate. Wash in warm soapy water.
• Remove the burner cap and burner head and clean.
Grates/Burner Caps
After cooking, always wipe down grates
and burner caps with a damp sponge
and dry thoroughly. Normal cleaning
can be done with hot, soapy water
and/or Soft Scrub cleanser (without
bleach) with a blue Scotch-Brite pad.
If stubborn spots still occur, then use
Easy-Off Fume Free Max Oven Cleaner.
Oven Cavity and Exterior Stainless Steel Components
To clean a lightly soiled surface:
• It is recommended to use warm water, a mild, non-
abrasive detergent, and a soft cloth while rubbing in
the direction of the stainless steel grain.
Procedure for oven cleaner use: Take
grates and burner caps off unit - move
outside and place on newspaper.
Spray with Easy-Off, let cleaner sit on
spotted areas for 1-2 hours. Clean off
with hot soapy water.
For more highly soiled/discolored surfaces:
• It is recommended to use the soft cleanser version
of Bar Keepers Friend. Simply read and follow the
directions found on product label.
• To prevent corrosion of the metal, it is important that
the cleaning solution be rinsed or wiped clean with
warm water. The surface should then be wiped clean,
in the direction of the stainless steel grain, with dry
towels to prevent water spots.
When cleaning grates and burner
caps, make sure to thoroughly dry
them, especially underneath. If the
bottom portion does not totally dry
