To clean the Viking VEC530 Cooktop, turn off all controls and ensure the cooktop is cool. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for everyday cleaning. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a ceramic cooktop scraper. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads.

What should I do if the cooktop burners are not heating evenly?

Check if the cookware is flat and evenly covers the burner. Ensure the cooktop surface and the cookware are clean. If the issue persists, inspect the burner elements for any visible damage or call a professional technician for assistance.

Can I use cast iron cookware on the Viking VEC530 Cooktop?

Yes, cast iron cookware can be used, but make sure it is completely flat and does not scratch the cooktop surface. Lift the cookware instead of sliding to prevent any potential damage.

Why is the cooktop not responding when I touch the control panel?

Ensure that the cooktop is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grease that might be affecting the touch sensitivity. If the problem continues, contact customer support.

How do I lock the controls on the Viking VEC530 Cooktop?

To lock the controls, press and hold the 'Lock' button for a few seconds until the indicator light turns on. This feature prevents accidental activation of the cooktop. To unlock, press and hold the 'Lock' button again until the light turns off.

What is the best way to avoid scratches on the cooktop surface?

Use cookware with smooth, flat bottoms. Avoid dragging pots and pans across the surface. Clean spills promptly and use a soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

How can I reset the circuit breaker for the cooktop?

Locate your home's main electrical panel. Find the circuit breaker labeled for the cooktop and switch it to the 'off' position. Wait a moment, then switch it back to the 'on' position. This will reset the circuit.

What should I do if I see an error code on the display?
