VIKING MVIC630 (01) PDF Document

In the event of a fire while using your VIKING MVIC630, follow these steps:

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

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

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

4. NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

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

For unattended cooking with fat or oil that results in fire, NEVER try to extinguish it with water. Switch off the appliance and then cover the flame with a lid or a fire blanket.

Please follow these safety guidelines when operating your VIKING MVIC630:

• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on and turn the element off before removing the pan.

• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially on high heat.

• Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.

• 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 burns from steam.

• 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 other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF.

• 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, 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.

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not be placed on the cooktop surface as they can get hot.

• DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. This can cause damage to both the cookware and the ceramic glass.

• After use, switch off the element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.

The VIKING MVIC630 induction cooktop utilizes magnetic power, so your cookware MUST have a magnetic layer of steel in the base to operate properly. To check if your cookware is suitable, see if a magnet adheres to the bottom surface.

Proper cookware should have:

• A flat, heavy magnetic bottom.

• Straight sides.

• A diameter of 5 inches (13 cm) to 12 inches (31 cm) to accommodate the various element sizes.

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

Most high-end brands of stainless steel and enamel cookware are induction-friendly.

Cookware that is NOT suitable for your VIKING MVIC630 induction cooktop includes:

• Pottery

• Glass

• Aluminum

• Copper

• Bronze

• Any type of cookware with a footed base.

• Cookware with partial magnetic bottoms, as they will not perform properly.

For proper performance and safety on your VIKING MVIC630, follow these guidelines for placing 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, the bottom of the cookware needs to be completely magnetic. Partial magnetic bottoms will not perform properly.

The controls for the VIKING MVIC630 cooktop are identified by the following symbols:

• ▲ / ▼ : UP/DOWN Timer controls

• A lock symbol: Child Lock

• A power symbol (circle with a vertical line): Main Power

• Two vertical parallel lines (II): Pause

To operate the cooking elements on your VIKING MVIC630, please note that when touching the controls, you must touch and hold for a few seconds; they will not function properly if you just tap and release.

1. Press the main power button on the far right side to turn the unit on.

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.

4. The power of the cooking elements can be set in 9 steps, displayed by the numbers “1” to “9” in the LED display above the slide. The highest setting is “P” for Power Booster.

The highest setting on your VIKING MVIC630 is “P”, which represents the power booster setting. This feature allows for very fast heat-up times and is recommended for boiling water or other liquids. Only 2 elements can be used on the power booster setting at one time. Attempting to use more than 2 elements on this setting could result in an automatic reduction of power on other elements.

The VIKING MVIC630 has two timer functions: a stand-alone timer and a cooking element timer.

Stand-Alone Timer (no element active):

Press and hold both the Up and Down buttons to initiate the timer. Set the desired time using the Up and Down buttons.

Cooking Element Timer:

1. When a cooking element is activated, a beep will be heard and a clock will appear above the element’s slide control.

2. Increase or decrease the desired time. The timer can be set up to 9 minutes and 59 seconds. Once the timer reaches 10 minutes, the display will change to show hours and minutes.

3. Up to four cooking elements can be programmed with a timer freely.

4. To view the different timers, press the UP and Down buttons at the same time to scroll between the timed elements.

When Time Expires:

• A beep will be heard. If not canceled, the beep will continue for 10 minutes.

• To cancel the beep, press the Up or Down button on the timer.

• To cancel the timer completely, press and hold the UP and Down button to re-initiate the timer, then use the down button to set the timer to 0.00.

When the Pause function is activated on your VIKING MVIC630, all functions of the cooktop are stopped. The digital display will flash above each element slide control.

To cancel the pause function:

1. Press the pause button.

2. A scrolling light will appear above the far right scale.

3. Slide your finger along the scale to cancel the pause function. All functions will return to their previous settings.

The Pause function has a maximum time limit of 10 minutes. If the function is not removed before this 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.

Activating the Key Lock button on your VIKING MVIC630 locks the keys, and the Key Lock LED will remain lit. The controls will continue to work in their previously set modes but cannot be changed. Only the Key Lock button itself and the main power button can still be activated. To deactivate the function, press the Key Lock button again until the LED goes out.

To use the Child Lock feature on your VIKING MVIC630, first turn the main power on and ensure all cooking elements are OFF.

To activate child lock:

1. Press the key lock symbol and Pause symbol simultaneously, then release.

2. Press the key lock symbol again. “L” will be displayed on the timer and above each control, indicating the unit is locked.

To unlock child lock (temporary):

Press the key lock symbol and Pause symbol 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 (permanently):

1. Press the key lock symbol and Pause symbol simultaneously, then release.

2. Press the Pause symbol again. This will disable the child lock until it is activated again by following the activation steps.

The VIKING MVIC630 has several LED display indicators:

• Pot Detection: If cookware is detected, the “suspended pot” symbol is shown on the display, and you can select a power setting. If a pot is not detected, this symbol will flash, and the power setting cannot be set.

• Residual Heat Display: After turning off a cooking element, this display will remain on as long as the temperature of the glass is over 149°F (65°C), indicating that the surface is still hot.

Your VIKING MVIC630 induction cooktop generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used correctly, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If you experience interference with radio or television reception (which can be confirmed by turning the cooktop off and on), you are encouraged to try one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the cooktop and the receiver.

• Connect the cooktop to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Here are some surface cooking tips for your VIKING MVIC630:

• The minimum recommended pot or pan diameter is 5″ (13 cm). While smaller pans (down to 4″ or 10 cm) can be used, it is not recommended.

• Always use the proper size cookware for the size of the element chosen. Use smaller cookware for smaller elements and larger cookware for larger elements.

• Note: If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise, causing the cooktop to turn off.

• Remember that induction cooking is instantaneous, and boiling time is decreased when using the proper induction cookware.

The following table provides suggested heat settings for various foods on your VIKING MVIC630.

To maintain and protect the surface of your VIKING MVIC630 glass ceramic top, 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 helps 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. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.

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

Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating, making the glass top more susceptible to staining.

Refer to the table below to troubleshoot cleaning issues on your VIKING MVIC630’s glass ceramic top.

To avoid permanently damaging your VIKING MVIC630 cooktop, NEVER USE the following materials for cleaning:

• AMMONIA
