Surface Operation

Product Controls

BAKE (Two-Element Bake)

Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles.

CONV BAKE (Convection Bake)

Use this setting to bake and roast foods at the same time with minimal taste transfer.

TRU CONV (TruConvec™)

CONV ROAST (Convection Roast)

CONV BROIL (Convection Broil)

Use this setting to broil thick cuts of meat.

HI BROIL

Use this setting for broiling dark meats at 1” thickness or less where rare or medium doneness is desired.

Lighting Burners

All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots.

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 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 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.

MED BROIL

Use this setting for broiling white meats such as chicken or meats greater than 1” thick that would be over-browned in high broil.

LOW BROIL

Use this setting for delicate broiling such as meringue.

Convection Dehydration (TRU CONV)

Note: For more information on oven functions see “Operation” section.

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.

TruPower Plus™ Burner (where applicable)

Certain model ranges are equipped with a TruPower Plus 18,500 BTU burner in the front right burner position. This burner is designed to provide extra high heat output, especially when using large pans, and should be used for boiling large quantities or if you need to bring something to a boild quickly. While the TruPower Plus burner has the extra power needed to bring large quantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, it is also able to be turned down low enough to provide a very low and delicate simmer making this burner the most versatile burner on the market.
