BAKE (Two-Element Bake)Full power heat isradiated from thebake element in thebottom of the ovencavity andsupplemental heat isradiated from thebroil element. Thisconventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable fordishes which require a high temperature. Many cookbookscontain recipes to be cooked in the conventional manner.Use this setting for baking, roasting, and casseroles. Thisfunction is recommended for single rack baking.

CONV BAKE(ConvectionBake)The bottom elementoperates at fullpower, and the topbroil elementoperates atsupplemental power.The heated air iscirculated by the motorized fan in the rear of the ovenproviding a more even heat distribution. This evencirculation of air equalizes the temperature throughout theoven cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found inconventional ovens. A major benefit of convection baking isthe ability to prepare food in quantity using multipleracks—a feature not possible in a standard oven.

When roasting using this setting, cool air is quicklyreplaced, searing meats on the outside and retaining morejuices and natural flavor on the inside with less shrinkage.With this heating method, foods can be baked and roastedat the same time with minimal taste transfer, even whendifferent dishes are involved, such as cakes, fish or meat.The hot air system is especially economical when thawingfrozen food. Use this setting for baking and roasting.

TRU CONV(TruConvec™)The rear element onlyoperates at full power.There is no directheat from the bottomor top elements. Themotorized fan in therear of the ovencirculates air in theoven cavity for even heating. Use this setting for foods that

require gentle cooking such as pastries, souffles, yeastbreads, quick breads and cakes. Breads, cookies, and otherbaked goods come out evenly textured with golden crusts.No special bakeware is required. Use this function for singlerack baking, multiple rack baking, roasting, and preparationof complete meals. This setting is also recommended whenbaking large quantities of baked goods at one time.

CONV ROAST(ConvectionRoast)The convectionelement runs inconjunction with theinner and outer broilelements. Thereversible convectionfan runs at a higherspeed in each direction. This transfer of heat (mainly fromthe convection element) seals moisture inside of largeroasts. A time savings is gained over existing, single fanconvection roast modes. Use this setting for whole turkeys,whole chickens, hams, etc.

CONV BROIL(ConvectionBroil)The top elementoperates at full power.This function is exactlythe same as regularbroiling with theadditional benefit ofair circulation by themotorized fan in the rear of the oven. Smoke is reducedsince the airflow also reduces peak temperatures on thefood. Use this setting for broiling thick cuts of meats.

HI BROILHeat radiates fromboth broil elements,located in the top ofthe oven cavity, at fullpower. The distancebetween the foodsand the broilelements determinesbroiling speed. Forfast broiling, food may be as close as 2 inches (5 cm) to thebroil element or on the top rack. Fast broiling is best formeats where rare to medium doneness is desired. Use thissetting for broiling small and average cuts of meat.

plates which are designed to catch drippings andcirculate a smoke flavor back into the food. Beneath theflavor generator plates is a two piece drip pan whichcatches any drippings that might pass beyond the flavorgenerator plates. This unique grilling system is designedto provide outdoor quality grilling indoors.

Lighting the BurnersAll burners are ignited by electricignition. There are no open-flame,“standing” pilots.

VariSimmer™Simmering is a cooking technique inwhich foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or justbarely below the boiling point of water. Simmeringensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent foodfrom toughening and/or breaking up. The size of thepan and the volume of food can have a significant effecton how high or low a flame is needed for simmering.For this reason, Viking range and rangetop burners areengineered with a VariSimmer setting. The VariSimmersetting is not just one simmer setting, but provides avariable range of simmer settings. This variable range ofsimmer settings allows you to adjust the flame height toachieve the best simmer depending on the type andquantity of food being simmered. It is this ability thatmakes the VariSimmer setting the most accurate andtrustworthy simmer on the market.

TruPowerPlus™ Burner (where applicable)Certain model ranges are equipped with a TruPowerPlus18,500 BTU burner in the front right burner position.This burner is designed to provide extra high heatoutput, especially when using large pans, and should beused for boiling large quantities or if you need to bringsomething to a boiled quickly. While the TruPowerPlusburner has the extra power needed to bring largequantities of liquid to a boil rapidly, it is also able to beturned down low enough to provide a very low anddelicate simmer making this burner the most versatileburner on the market.

Griddle/Simmer Plate (where applicable)The optional 15,000 BTU griddle is constructed ofmachined steel with a blanchard finish and is uniquelydesigned to offer excellent cooking performance as wellas easy clean up. The griddle is equipped with anelectronic thermostat to maintain an even temperatureacross the griddle once the desired temperature hasbeen set. The griddle has a power “ON” indicator lightwhich glows when the griddle thermostat has beenturned on. This will cycle on and off as needed toindicate the thermostat is maintaining the selectedtemperature. Before the griddle is used, it is importantto season the griddle. See instructions in the Use &Care for steps on seasoning the griddle.

Char-Grill (where applicable)The optional 18,000 BTU char-grill is equipped with asingle piece, heavy-duty porcelainized cast-iron grillgrate for easy movement of grilling items. Beneath thegrill grate are two slotted porcelainized flavor generator

MED BROILInner and outer broilelements pulse onand off to produceless heat for slowbroiling. Allow about4 inches (10 cm)between the topsurface of the foodand the broil element.Slow broiling is best for chicken and ham in order to broilfood without over-browning it. Use this setting for broilingsmall and average cuts of meat.

LOW BROILThis mode uses onlya fraction of theavailable power tothe inner broilelement for delicatetop-browning. Theinner broil element ison for only part ofthe time. Use thissetting to gently brown meringue on racks 3 or 4 in 3-4minutes.

Convection DehydrationThis oven is designed not only to cook, but also todehydrate fruits and vegetables.1. Prepare the food as recommended.2. Arrange the food on drying racks (not included with the
