To preheat the Viking VGSO260T Oven, set the desired temperature using the temperature knob. Allow the oven to heat for about 15 minutes to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before placing your food inside.
If the oven is not heating evenly, ensure that the racks are positioned correctly and that they are not overloaded. Check for any obstructions in the air vents, and consider recalibrating the oven temperature if needed.
To clean the interior, remove the oven racks and use a mild detergent with warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher stains, a baking soda paste can be applied and left for a few minutes before wiping clean.
Check if there are any obstructions or debris on the door seal. Ensure the hinges are not damaged or misaligned. If the problem persists, the door gasket may need to be replaced.
If the timer is not working, try resetting the oven by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes. If the issue continues, the control panel may need inspection by a professional.
When using convection mode, reduce the recipe temperature by about 25 degrees Fahrenheit and keep an eye on the cooking time as it may be shorter due to the efficient heat distribution.
Regular maintenance should be performed every 6 months, including inspecting the door gasket, checking for debris in the vents, and ensuring all controls are functioning properly.
Strange odors can be caused by food residue or spills burning on the heating elements. Ensure the oven is clean and check for any leftover food particles that may be causing the smell.
To replace the oven light, ensure the oven is turned off and cool. Remove the light cover by turning it counterclockwise, then replace the old bulb with a new one of the same type and wattage. Reattach the cover.
While aluminum foil can be used, it should not cover the oven's bottom or sides as it may interfere with air circulation and cause uneven cooking. It's best used on baking sheets to catch drips.
