Have a viking professional oven and it takes too

Have a viking professional oven (gas) and it takes too much time to pre heat and cook. What should take 30 minutes will take over an hour to cook.

  • Douglas Jensen May 20, 2010

    How old is the oven? Has it just started doing this or has it been a problem since you got it? Do you own an oven thermometer? Have you checked to see if it's accurate?

A weak oven ignitor will cause this problem. even though it eventually lights the temp has dropped considerably so you don't get consistent temp. turn the oven on and listen for the burner to light. should light within about 2 minutes. if not replace oven ignitor(s)

Is it normal for the cooling fan to run while my Viking oven is still heating up?

Cooling fan?
Surely the fan of a fan oven is there to circulate the heat within the oven to eliminate "cold" spots and shorten cooking times. Some ovens will allow the fan to switched off.

Is it dangerest when your oven beeps f2

Typically an oven beeps when the interior temperature macthes the temperature where you set the dial. This is an audible signal to that fact and particularly helpful when you need to pre-heat the oven. For example it you want to cook something at 350 degrees, you set the dial at 350. When your oven reaches that temperature it beeps to let you know. Some cooking directions tell you to preheat your oven. In that case, when you set the dial to 350 and wait for the beep...you know you are safe to start your cooking process because the oven is now pre-heated to the temperature you set. If your recipe requires a pre-heated oven, and you don't wait for the beep, your taking a guess at what temperature you're cooking your food. Additionally, if you want to know what the internal temperature of oven is and your oven is heated...you simply turn you dial setting and listen for the beep. Again, if you set your oven at 350 and you want to know how hot your oven is... slowly turn the dial setting. If the oven beeps at 275 then that's how hot your oven has gotten. To let it finish heating to 350 just reset the dial and wait for the beep.

How long to run self clean on viking professional

The "Self Clean" will run for quite a while up to 4 hours I believe, during this time, the stove heats up to about 900 degrees!! and during this time the Door is automatically closed via special locks. It will allow you to open once it is finished, it should "Signal" this event.

Seems to be taking a long time to cook

To preheat oven just select the temp you intend to cook at and wait until the red light goes out,it is then preheated
Then you can put your food in and carrying on cooking.
Yes you do put it on fan symbol, but make sure it is on the right one , as some ovens have fan only as well as fan and heat.
Plz rate this solution.
thanks.

Viking Oven

you may have a couple problems here or just one.

1. Check the incoming gas pressure I believe on this oven it requires 7" of water column to operate.
2. check the output gas pressure at the gas valve it should be around 3.5" water column.

Looks like to me that either your utility company might have restricted the supply pressure or you may have a faulty gas valve or the gas valve might just need adjusted.

Hope this helps you

Cooking

A good pre-heated pizza stone will help cook the crust better when the pizza is placed right on the stone. As for the cheese burning, check the actual temp. of the oven with a good thermometer.
