This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a

cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into

a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with

the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of

an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing

an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can

result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC

only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is

recommended that a separate circuit serving only this

appliance be provided.

The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong

grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall recep-

tacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should

you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified elec-

trician install a correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used tem-

porarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled

in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension Cord

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that

has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug

on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be

AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be

pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Notes:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,

consult a qualified electrician or service person.

2. Neither Viking nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the

microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the cor-

rect electrical connection procedures.

Radio or TV Interference

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio

or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relo-

cate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check

position and signal of receiving antenna.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Installation/Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always

save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cook-

ing principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn

the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven.

The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the micro-

wave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magne-

tron cycling on and off.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and

the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in

the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as

uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.

After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the

cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending

on the oven temperature.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have

a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or

newspapers.

Your microwave output is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In

using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum time and add

time accordingly.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising

person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising

person should be in the same room.

The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably; if not, he/

she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove cov-

erings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because

they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can

cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy. See page 33 for

Child Lock feature.

DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the

empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish

becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase.

Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-

wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and

assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using

microwave-only cooking. Viking is not responsible for any damage to the oven

when accessories are used.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and

add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions:

paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent

spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poul-

try to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if

possible.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods

as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at

least once.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top

to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible.

Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without

overcooking.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures

have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

-Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

1.VK DMC205/E#363 2/3/04, 8:25 AM12

13

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department

of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away

from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,

unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

•ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in

contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils

to cause skin burns.

•Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly

lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and

microwave oven cooking bags away from the face.

• Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check cooking progress

frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and

minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.

• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil,

your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from

walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is

above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the DEFROST CHART,

you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using

Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking

on page 17. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select

the power level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approxi-

mately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of

frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that

are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting

time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 3 until totally

defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to

remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

MICROWAVE FEATURES

1.VK DMC205/E#363 2/3/04, 8:25 AM18

19

Note:

Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be

icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.

Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is

defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thin-

ner sections of the food.

SENSOR COOKING

The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and

humidity) emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times

and power level for various foods and quantities.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using sensor settings.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven

are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. Reheat and Popcorn can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking,

opening and closing the door or touching the Stop/Clear pad.

4. During the first part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the

display. Do not open the oven door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of

the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this

occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/

Clear pad and select cooking time and variable power.
