Using the Oven

Preheat For best results, it is extremely

important that you preheat your oven to the desired cooking temperature

before placing food items in the oven to begin cooking. In many cooking

modes, partial power from the broiler is used to bring the oven to the preheat

temperature. Therefore, placing food items in the oven during the preheat mode is not recommended. The Viking Rapid Ready™ Preheat System is engineered so that the oven is brought to the desired set temperature

in a manner which will provide the optimum cooking environment based on the selected cooking mode in the shortest possible time.

Rack Positions

Each oven is equipped with three oven racks (some models include 1 or more TruGlide 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.

For instance, the preheat mode for TruConvec™ is designed to be brought up to the set point temperature in a different manner than the preheat mode for conventional bake. This is because TruConvec is designed for multi-rack baking. So it is extremely critical that all rack positions have reached the desired cooking temperature. As a result, it is normal for oven to take slightly longer for the oven to preheat to 350°F in TruConvec mode when compared to the amount of time it takes to preheat the oven cavity to 350°F in conventional bake mode.
