IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
BASIC SPECIFICATIONS
14.
Once the unit is 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).

TO CONNECT DIRECTLY TO THE LP/PROPANE REGULATOR/HOSE ASSEMBLY IN A
CABINET INSTALLATION
Although the flow of gas is stopped when the quick disconnect system is disconnected as part
of its safety feature, you should always turn the LP/Propane tank main valve off after each use
and during transport of the tank or unit. First connect the regulator to the grill unit by pulling
back the coupler sleeve towards the regulator and inserting the 1/2” (1.3 cm) fitting into the
coupler. Release the sleeve and continue pushing the inlet into the coupler until the sleeve
snaps forward securing the connection. Then connect the hose assembly to the LP/Propane
tank. by screwing the Type 1, QCC-1 connector to the LP/Propane tank connector. Turn the
main tank valve on and turn the burner control valve on the unit to any position for about 20
seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burner.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use pipe sealant on flare
fittings. All gas connections should be made by a competent technician and in accordance with local codes and/or
ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSIZ223.1-
latest edition.
The wok/cooker and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa). The wok/cooker must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa).
NOTE: INSPECT THE HOSE BEFORE EACH USE. IF IT IS EVIDENT THERE IS EXCESSIVE
ABRASION, WEAR OR THE HOSE IS CUT, IT MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO USE.

LP/PROPANE TANK REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR NEW WOK/COOKER
A dented or rusty LP/Propane tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP/Propane supplier. Never use
a cylinder with a damaged valve. All tanks should be equipped with an OPD (overfilling protection device). This is a
DOT requirement for all tanks purchased after October 1, 1998, and will ensure that the tank is not overfilled. The
LP/Propane tank should be a standard 5-gal., 20 lb. gas cylinder tank approximately 12” (3.1 cm) in diameter and 18”
(45.7 cm) high which must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP/Propane gas
cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1, QCC-1 system only. The
cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP/Propane gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified,
as applicable, for a Type 1, QCC-1 connection. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and provided with a listed overfilling prevention
device. If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-vented area out of the reach of children.
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean
the wok thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
Wok Pan w/Lid
Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the wok. Clean thoroughly with hot
soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the
entire inside surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on medium setting until the cooking surface
turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several times. This seasoning seals the pores of the
metal, keeps food from sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil before
using or storing.
INITIAL IGNITION OF BURNERS
All appliances are tested before leaving the factory. Field adjustments may be necessary for proper mixture of gas and
air for proper operation. When the unit is connected to gas and electrical service, it should be adjusted by a qualified
technician. If it is not, contact your dealer for the name of their authorized service agency. If none are available,
contact Viking Range Corporation for the nearest authorized service agency in your area.
USING YOUR WOK/COOKER
Lighting the Burners
To light the burners, 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 reignition system. If 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. Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to be able to light.
When the burner lights, turn the burner control to any position to adjust the flame size. Setting the
proper height for the desired cooking process and selected utensil will result in superior cooking
performance, while also saving time and energy.
BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
To gain access to the burner for adjustments:
A
1. Remove the grate and grate support.
2. Locate the air shutter “A” and loosen the two screws “B” that holds
the air shutter in place.
3. Light the burner and turn the burner knob to the high position.
4. With a proper, high flame height, adjust the air shutter to obtain a blue
flame with no yellow tipping that sits on the burner at the burner ports.
(a) open the air shutter gap to add more air and to eliminate yellow
tipping.
B
(b) close the air shutter gap to reduce the air and to prevent a noisy
flame that lifts off the burner.
5. Turn the surface burners off.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont.)
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
Cooking equipment is no exception. Your wok/cooker must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Make sure all burners are “off” before cleaning. Disconnect power if you are going to clean
thoroughly with water.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling
period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel
wool, abrasive cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrap 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. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as Liquid Zud can be used
according to package directions. 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.
Wok Cast Iron Burner
For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the electric igniter and burner ports clean.
It is necessary to clean these only when the flame does not burn blue completely around all rings of
the burner, when there is a severe spillover or when the burner does not light, even though the
electric spark igniter sparks. Clean the burner by scraping off burned on food soil. Use a wire, a
straightened paper clip, or needle to clean the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it could break off in
the port. Be sure the venturi tube remains dry.
Porcelain Parts (Grate)
Allow the grate to cool to a safe temperature level. Wipe up spillovers as soon as possible after
they occur and before they get a chance to burn in and cook solid. The grate is coated with a
porcelain enamel finish for durability. Wash in hot, soapy water and rinse clean. For stubborn stains,
use a mild abrasive cleanser or non-abrasive soap-filled pad. Abrasive cleaners used vigorously or
too often can eventually scratch and harm the enamel.

POWER FAILURE
Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and
extinguish the burner, the grill should, under no circumstances, be used during a power failure. The
grill burner control should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure. Momentary
power failure can occur unnoticed. The wok/cooker is affected only when the power is interrupted.
When it comes back on, the wok/cooker will function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-
out” may or may not affect wok operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.
Wok Pan w/Lid
Wash the wok after each use in hot, soapy water. Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring pad as
they can harm the protective seasoning. Dry thoroughly. Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the
inside surface with a paper towel. Place over medium heat for 15 - 30 seconds. Remove from heat
and allow to cool. Wipe off excess oil before storing in an inside cabinet. Do not store the wok pan
and lid outdoors.
Control Panel
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.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the
knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Do not soak knobs. Dry completely and
replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
