CAUTION To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet finishes, use only materials and finishes that will not discolor or delaminate and will withstand temperatures up to 194° F (90° C). Heat and moisture resistant adhesive must be used if the product is to be installed in laminated cabinetry.

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. About Your Appliance WARNING NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT use the rangetop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils. • For proper oven performance and operation, DO NOT block or obstruct the oven vent duct located on the right side of the air grille. • Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. When the oven is in use, the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, DO NOT touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. • Other potentially hot surfaces include rangetop, areas facing the rangetop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, areas around the oven door and oven window. • The misuse of oven doors (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and/or injuries. Warnings (cont.) 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. WARNING To avoid risk of property damage, personal injury or death; follow information in this manual exactly to prevent a fire or explosion. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance. 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. WARNING If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: • DO NOT try to light any appliance. • DO NOT touch any electrical switch. • DO NOT use any phone in your building. • Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. • If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock. WARNING DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the porcelain finishes. WARNING TIPPING HAZARD To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket(s). To make sure the bracket has been installed properly, look behind the range with a flashlight to verify proper installation engaged in the rear top left corner of the range. • THIS RANGE CAN TIP • INJURIES TO PERSONS CAN RESULT • INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE PACKED WITH RANGE • SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Warnings (cont.) WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect the electric power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before replacing bulb. WARNING BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock. WARNING BURN HAZARD The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. Danger of burning: DO NOT touch the glass! 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. CAUTION 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. 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. NOTICE Avoid any damage to oven vents. The vents need to be unobstructed and open to provide proper airflow for optimal oven performance. 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.
