Operation 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 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. 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 (180ºC) in TRUCONVEC mode when compared to the amount of time it takes to preheat to 350°F (180ºC) in CONVENTIONAL BAKE mode. Also, preheat time can vary based on some external factors such as room temperature and power supply. A significantly colder room temperature or a power supply less than 240 VAC can lengthen the time it takes for the oven to reach the desired set temperature. Note: While preheating, display will alternate between PREHEAT and FUNCTION and TEMPERATURE selected. Note: PREHEAT is the only cycle where actual temperature is displayed, otherwise the display shows set temperature. Note: Certain functions include a PREHEAT cycle. Once set temperature has been reached, the oven will automatically exit PREHEAT and follow NORMAL OPERATION mode. 34 Using the Oven Normal Operation Once the FUNCTION and TEMPERATURE are set, and PREHEAT completes, oven will beep indicating set temperature has been reached and normal operation begins. 1. The display shows set temperature. 2. Oven temperature can be adjusted at any time by pressing "OVEN TEMPERATURE" button, then rotating "SELECTOR". Push in "SELECTOR" to accept or auto-accept after 5 seconds. If user wants to return to previous setting, press "CLEAR" key (as long as the SELECTOR has not been pushed in). 3. If oven is no longer at correct temperature due to opening oven door, control will revert to PREHEAT. Timed Cook CLOCK/ OVEN PROBE FUNC During a TIMED COOK operation, MIN/SEC OVEN the oven operates in conjunction TIMER TEMP with a count down timer. COOK TIME OFF 1. Press "COOK TIME" button. (0:00 STOP TIME CLEAN/ SETTINGS will display in clock display and COOK TIME will illuminate under display. HR will display above 0: and MIN will display above :00.) 2. Toggle "SELECTOR" right to increase or left to decrease to set desired time. Time will scroll in 1 minute increments Clock Display SET HR MIN 00:00 AM PM STOP TIMER NO PROBE COOK TIME ON DELAY per individual toggle. If "SELECTOR" is held in either right or left position, time will increase or decrease in 10 minute increments until desired time is reached. 3. Push in "SELECTOR" to accept time or after 5 seconds, time will auto-accept. 4. Set OVEN FUNCTION and OVEN TEMPERATURE as detailed in "Set Oven Function and Temperature" on page 23. (Timer will activate and count down once OVEN FUNCTION and OVEN TEMPERATURE have been activated. There will be an audible beep at 1 minute and 3 long beeps when time expires (0:00). Pressing "CLEAR" button will deactivate timer at any time.) Note: Cook timer does not count down during PREHEAT mode. 35 Operation
