The Viking Professional French-Door Double Oven introduces total convenience with the same superior power and performance as other Viking Professional ovens. Side swing doors, inspired by ovens in a commercial kitchen, turn this traditional oven into a modern amenity, putting accessibility within arm's reach. The French-door oven can be opened with one hand as the companion door conveniently opens simultaneously to allow for easy operation and cleanup. With the largest oven in the industry, this extra-large 4.7 cu. ft. oven has 11 high performance cooking modes for versatile performance including two-element bake, convection bake, TruConvec ™ Convection Cook, convection roast, convection broil, hi broil, medium broil, low broil, convection dehydrate, convection defrost, and proof. True commercial-type cooking power is available with the patented Vari-Speed Dual Flow ™ Convection System. This system has the largest fan in the industry with the 8 1/2" two-speed fan working bi-directionally for maximum airflow and excellent cooking results. The extra-large Gourmet-Glo ™ Glass Enclosed Infrared Broiler provides superior broiling performance and maximum coverage and the exclusive Rapid Ready ™ Preheat ensures super-fast preheating. The concealed 10-pass dual bake element in both oven cavities and the self-clean function in the lower oven makes cleanup easy. Each oven has six porcelain-coated rack positions and comes standard with three oven racks including two TruGlide ™ Full Extension Racks in the upper oven and one TruGlide ™ Full Extension Rack in the lower oven for easy removal of bakeware. The heavy-duty metal knobs are accented with exclusive CoolLit ™ LED Lights in signature Viking blue when unit is turned on and pulses during preheat. When preheat is finished, the lights stay lit alerting the customer that the oven is preheated.
