Viking DERT301 Rangetop F.A.Q.

How do I properly clean the Viking DERT301 rangetop grates?

To clean the grates, first allow them to cool. Then, remove them from the rangetop and wash them in warm soapy water. Use a non-abrasive scrub pad to remove any stubborn stains. Rinse thoroughly and dry before placing them back on the rangetop.

What should I do if one of the burners won't ignite?

Ensure the burner cap is properly seated. If it still doesn’t ignite, check if the igniter is clicking and if there is gas flow. Clean the burner ports with a needle if they are clogged and check for any power supply issues.

Can I convert my Viking DERT301 rangetop from natural gas to propane?

Yes, the rangetop can be converted from natural gas to propane. It requires a conversion kit and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure safety and proper operation.

How often should I perform maintenance on my rangetop?

Regular cleaning should be done after each use. Deep cleaning and inspection of burners, grates, and igniters should be done every 6 months. Annual professional maintenance is recommended for optimal performance.

What is the correct way to light the burners manually?

If the electric igniter is not functioning, light the burner manually using a match or lighter. Turn the knob to the 'Lite' position and carefully bring the flame close to the burner until it ignites.

How do I adjust the flame height on my rangetop?

To adjust the flame height, turn the control knob to a lower setting. If the flame is uneven or too high even at low settings, the burners may need cleaning or adjustment by a technician.

Why is there a clicking sound coming from the rangetop?

The clicking sound is the igniter trying to light the burner. If it persists after ignition, ensure the burner cap is properly aligned and dry. Continuous clicking may require service to check the igniter switch.

What cookware is recommended for use with the Viking DERT301?

Use cookware with flat, smooth bottoms and made from materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, or aluminum. Avoid using glass or ceramic cookware as they may not conduct heat efficiently.

How can I prevent scratches on the stainless steel surface of my rangetop?

Use a soft cloth for cleaning and avoid abrasive pads or cleaners. Wipe in the direction of the grain and ensure spills are cleaned promptly to prevent residue from hardening.

What should I do if the control knobs are hard to turn?

If the control knobs are difficult to turn, they may need cleaning. Remove the knobs and clean them with warm soapy water. Ensure there is no residue causing obstruction, and check the stem for any visible issues.
