Important Safety Notice and Warning The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle. Important notice regarding pet birds: NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful. Warnings & Safety (cont.)

They will not rise properly. • DO NOT allow food to remain in the oven for more than 2 hours after the end of the cooking cycle. • To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than 2 hours. Warnings & Safety (cont.) WARNING This appliance 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 DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured. CAUTION BURN HAZARD When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than usual. Therefore, children should be kept away. CAUTION To avoid sickness and food waste, DO NOT allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours. CAUTION You must carefully check the food during the dehydration process to ensure that it does not catch fire. NOTICE The cooling fan should be operating when the unit is in operation. If you notice the cooling fan is not operating or you observe unusual or excessive noise coming from the cooling fan, contact a Viking Authorized Service Center before continuing operation. Failure to do so can result in damage to the oven or surrounding cabinets. NOTICE Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need to be unobstructed and open to provide proper airflow for optimal oven performance. NOTICE DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on during defrosting. Turning the convection fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting of the food without the heat.
