Power Failure, Service Information | Viking VGWT240SS, VGQT240SS

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.

Brass Parts

CAUTION: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy

coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE BRASS

OPTION PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water.

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 rangetop is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the rangetop will function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.
