In the event of a fire, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame.

2. Extinguish the flame, then turn on the hood to remove smoke and odor.

• Smother the fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother the fire or flame.

• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. When cooking is completed, turn the element off before removing the pan.

• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially with high heat or deep fat frying.

• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element, as pressure build-up may cause it to burst.

• Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders can cause steam burns.

• ALWAYS let hot fat cool before attempting to move or handle it.

• DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.

• NEVER wear loose-fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking.

• If “flaming” liquor or spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF to prevent flames from spreading.

• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Ensure cookware is large enough to contain food and avoid boil overs.

• To minimize burns and spillage, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance.

• NEVER let a pan boil dry, as this could damage the cookware and the appliance.

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory. Before you use your VIKING MVEC630 cooktop for the first time, you must clean your glass top to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.

To ensure proper performance and efficiency, follow these guidelines for your cookware:

• Cookware must be centered and fully contact the surface of the cooking element.

• Always use flat-bottomed pans.

• Pans should meet or exceed the recommended minimum size for the cooking element being used.

• Make sure pans sit completely on the cooktop surface and not on the cooktop trim.

• Cookware should be properly balanced. Pans with heavy handles may tilt if not balanced.

• For Induction cooktops, cookware bottoms must be completely magnetic. Partial magnetic bottoms will not perform properly. A magnet should adhere firmly to the bottom surface.

Induction cooking requires specific cookware. Your cookware MUST have a magnetic layer of steel in the base for the cooktop to operate properly. You can test your cookware by seeing if a magnet will adhere to the bottom surface.

• The cookware should have a flat, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides.

• The diameter should be between 5″ (13 cm) to 12″ (31 cm) to accommodate the various element sizes.

• Cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom.

• Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type of cookware with a footed base.

1. To turn the unit on, press the main power button on the far right side.

2. Once the power is on, turn on an individual element by pressing the power button associated with that element.

3. Touch the power slide and move your finger along it to increase or decrease the power setting. The power can be set in 9 steps, from “1” to “9”.

For multiple-zone elements, when first turned on, only the center portion will be on. To activate the different cooking zones, touch the icon at the end of the scale. On a double element, touch once to switch on the outer ring. On a triple element, touch once for the outer ring and twice for the middle ring. To deactivate, press the icon again.

1. To turn the unit on, press the main power button on the far right side.

2. Once the power is on, you can turn on an individual element by pressing the power button associated with that element. Before you can set the power, the cooktop must detect compatible cookware. The “suspended pot” symbol will appear when cookware is detected.

3. Touch the power slide and move your finger along it to increase or decrease the power setting. The power can be set in 9 steps, from “1” to “9”.

The highest setting is “P” for Power Booster, which provides very fast heat-up times for boiling water or other liquids. Only 2 elements can use the Power Booster setting at one time.

There are two timer functions: a stand-alone timer and a cooking element timer.

• Stand-Alone Timer: When no cooking element is activated, press and hold both the Up and Down buttons to initiate the timer. Set the time using the Up and Down buttons.

• Cooking Element Timer: When a cooking element is on, a beep will sound and a clock will appear above the element’s slide. Use the Up and Down buttons to set the desired time. The timer can be set up to 9 minutes 59 seconds (displayed as Mins:Secs). Once it reaches 10 minutes, the display changes to hours:mins. You can program timers for up to four elements.

• To view different timers: Press the Up and Down buttons at the same time to scroll between the different element timers.

• When a timer expires: A beep will be heard. To cancel the beep, press the Up or Down button. If not canceled, the beep continues for 10 minutes.

• To cancel a timer: Press and hold the Up and Down button to initiate the timer setting, then use the down button to set the timer to 0:00.

When activated, the Pause function stops all functions of the cooktop. The digital display will flash above each element slide control. To cancel the pause function, press the pause button. A scrolling light will appear above the far right scale. Slide your finger along this scale to cancel the pause. All functions will return to their previous settings.

The pause function has a maximum time limit of 10 minutes. If it is not canceled before the time limit, the cooktop will shut off. There is a 6-second time delay between turning the main power on and activating the pause function.

To use the Child Lock, the main power must be on and all cooking elements must be OFF.

• To activate child lock: Press the key lock icon and Pause icon simultaneously. Release, then press the key lock icon again. “L” will be displayed on the timer and above each control, indicating the unit is locked.

• To unlock child lock: Press the key lock icon and Pause icon simultaneously. This unlocks the unit for cooking operations, but the child lock will resume if the unit is powered off and then back on.

• To disable the child lock: Press the key lock icon and Pause icon simultaneously. Release, and then press the pause icon again. This will disable the child lock feature until it is activated again following the activation steps.

Make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position and the surface is cool before cleaning.

For normal, light soil:

1. Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cleaning cream onto the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.

2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For heavy, burned soil:

1. Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream onto the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.

2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade. Hold the blade at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface.

3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. After all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream for additional protection.

4. Buff with a dry paper towel. The cream leaves a protective coating on the glass surface that helps prevent build-up of mineral deposits.

This is often caused by cleaning with a sponge or cloth containing soil-laden detergent water. To prevent this, use cleaning cream with a clean damp paper towel. To remove existing streaks, use a light application of cleaning cream with a clean damp paper towel.

This can be caused by spillovers or melted plastic on a hot cooking area. To prevent this, wipe all spillovers as soon as it is safe and do not put plastic items on a warm cooking area. To remove, clean the area with cleaning cream and a damp paper towel, non-abrasive nylon pad, or scouring brush. If the burn-on is not removed, cool the cooktop and carefully scrape the area with a single-edged razor blade held at a 30° angle.

These marks can be caused by coarse particles like salt or sugar getting caught on the bottom of cookware and embedding into the top, or by using abrasive cleaning materials. To prevent this, wipe the bottom of cookware before cooking and clean the top daily with cleaning cream. Fine scratches are not removable but can be minimized by the daily use of cleaning cream.

Smearing is often caused by using too much cleaning cream or a soiled dishcloth. To prevent this, use only a small amount of cream, rinse thoroughly, and use clean paper towels or a nylon scrub pad. To remove smearing, dampen a paper towel with a mixture of vinegar and water and wipe the surface. Then, wipe the area with a damp paper towel or lint-free cloth.

These marks are caused by sliding or scraping metal cookware on the glass top. To prevent them, DO NOT slide metal objects across the top. To remove existing marks, apply cleaning cream with a damp paper towel and scrub with a nylon scrub pad or brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

A boil over of sugar syrup can cause pitting if not removed immediately. To prevent this, watch sugar and syrups carefully. If a spill occurs, turn the element to Off. Use several paper towels to wipe the spill immediately while it is still hot. Let the glass top cool completely and then carefully scrape off any remainder of the burn-off with a single-edged razor blade held at a 30° angle.

To avoid permanently damaging your cooktop, NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS, OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. Use a ceramic cleaner designed for the cooktop or hot, soapy water applied with a soft, clean cloth.
