Viking F20937C manual Before Using Range, Warnings, Burn Hazard, Getting Started

Getting Started

Warnings

WARNING

This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle.

Note: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle, causing permanent damage to the oven.

CAUTION

DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become

extremely hot to the touch!

During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of the binder in the high- density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.

KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

CAUTION

You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to ensure that it does not catch fire.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual. Therefore, children should be kept away.

CAUTION

DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

Before Using Range

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 range thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some burn off and odors on first use of the appliance—this is normal.

Oven

Important! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to bake, the thermostat to 450°F, and operate for an hour.

All models include:

•A broad range of baking and broiling modes—up to eight cooking modes in all—to make even your most challenging baking projects a success.

•Exclusive one-piece tooled and porcelainized cooking surface contains spills for easy cleaning.

•Split baking and broiling elements—which reduces preheating time and provides greater control and more even heating.

•A reversing convection fan which is two times larger than most on the market—this allows you to cook foods more thoroughly and evenly—even when baking large quantities.

•Four convection modes offering greater air circulation to shorten cooking times and cook foods more evenly.

•Three broiling modes including a low-broil mode for delicate broiling and top-browning.

•A profiled, concealed bake element for easier cleaning.
