Can I use metal pans in the Speedcook oven?
Yes, metal pans are suitable, but ensure they do not touch the oven cavity sides, door, or glass to avoid arcing. Recommended for Air Crisp, Bake, and Broil modes.

WARNING

The use of cabinets for storage above the oven may result in potential fire or burn hazard.

WARNING

This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

• To Reduce the Risk of Fire in the Oven Cavity:

o Use only oven-suitable containers in the oven.
o Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags being placed in the oven. For oven cooking bags—DO NOT use wire twist-ties to close the bag.
o If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

o DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend to the oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

• DO NOT Touch Heating Elements Or Interior Surfaces of Oven

Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or let clothing or other fl ammable materials contact the heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had suffi cient time to cool.

CAUTION

The Speedcook oven uses a high-speed convection fan and a cooling fan for optimum cooking performance. Air movement from the fans can be heard while cooking and during a cool down period after cooking. This is normal. The cooling fan should be operating while the unit is in operation and will cycle off and on during cool down. If you notice the cooling fan is not operating or you observe unusual noise, contact an authorized service center before continuing operation. Failure to do so can result in damage to the oven or surrounding cabinets.

Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy

  • DO NOT attempt to operate the top oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important NOT to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
  • DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
  • The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified personnel.
  • DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), or (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

Your Professional TurboChef Oven

Your new TurboChef Speedcook Double Wall Oven offers you the versatility to cook all your favorite foods in a fraction of the time they usually require. The Lower (Convection) Oven offers you numerous features including warming and proofing modes. The Speedcook (Upper) Oven combines innovative microwave and convection technologies to ensure you crisp, evenly browned pastries, meats and casseroles browned on the outside with moisture and flavor locked on the inside, and so much more—all in far less time than cooking these same foods in a conventional oven. Using the ovens together, you will bring elaborate meals to the table in an hour or less with each dish cooked perfectly and ready to serve at the right temperature.

VIKING VDOT730AR - Your Professional TurboChef Oven - 1

natural_image Diagram of a speed Cook oven interior with fan arrangement and control panel (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

Convenience of Pre-programmed Settings

Every cook knows that getting the time and temperature right for a particular dish can be a challenge. In the Speedcook Oven, pre-set times and temperatures are already programmed for more than 700 food items, eliminating the guess work. You choose a dish from the Food Item menu and select the weight, the number of pieces, the size of the dish, or a few other variables. Speedcook does the rest.

Each food item has settings for time, temperature, microwave power level, and air intensity from the upper and lower convection fans. These fans have been carefully tested by professional chefs. Equipped with Patented Airspeed Technology™, these fans can attain air speeds up to 60 mph, cooking your food much faster than even the best convection oven.

Visible Arcing in the Speedcook Oven

While using the Speedcook oven, a visible "spark," called arcing, can occur within the oven cavity. The amount of arcing that can occur depends on the amount of food being cooked. For example, cooking a single muffi n is more likely to produce arcing than cooking an entire batch of muffi ns.

This type of arcing will not harm the oven or affect the food being cooked as long as the oven is used correctly:

  • Never start a cook cycle without food inside the oven cavity.
  • If using a metal cooking pan or baking sheet, ensure the edges do not touch the oven cavity's sides, the inside of the oven door, or the glass.

Your Professional TurboChef Oven

Flexibility of Adapting and Saving Your Own Favorite Recipes

The Speedcook Oven will store up to 9,999 of your favorite recipe settings. You can also adapt your favorite recipes to get the cook cycle that yields perfect results for each dish.

At first, you will want to use the pre-programmed settings, but as you become more familiar with your Speedcook Oven, you will want to use Advanced Setting (explained in more detail on "Making Adjustments at the End of a Cook Cycle" on page 30), to change cook time, oven temperature, and even the cooking cycle—including the microwave power and the intensity of the upper and lower convection fans.

A Full Range of Features

To summarize, with your Professional TurboChef Oven you will enjoy:

  • The Speedcook Oven's Patented Airspeed Technology™, which cooks food 15 times faster than conventional cooking methods, retaining moisture and locking in flavor for superior quality. Proven technology in over 130,000 commercial kitchens worldwide.
    • A total of 14 cooking modes: 8 in the Speedcook Oven and 6 in the Lower Oven.
  • These include broiling modes in both ovens and 4 convection modes, where greater air circulation is used to shorten cooking times and cook foods more evenly.
  • A temperature probe in the Lower Oven to ensure perfect baking and roasting of meats.
  • The ability to use Save to Favorites to store cook settings for thousands of favorite recipes.
  • A concealed bake element for easier cleaning.
    • Self-cleaning functions in both ovens.

Auto Reboot

If the oven is not being used and has been powered on for more than 24 hours, the oven will automatically reboot at 1 AM. The screen will go blank and the sound will be disabled during the reboot so as not to be an annoyance in the middle of the night. It will reset within one minute of the reboot. This process will only take a couple of minutes to complete. The benefit of having this feature is to allow the software to run more productively and efficiently.

If the oven is being used, the auto reboot will be skipped.

Moving between Speedcook and Lower Oven Screens

It is important to know how to shift, or toggle, between the two ovens when you are using both of them. Given how rapidly the Speedcook Oven completes cooking foods, you may be taking dishes out and putting others in it, while the Lower Oven is baking or roasting other foods over longer times. Or you may be starting one oven while fi nishing with the other or switching it to a different cooking mode. For example, you could be changing the Lower Oven to Warming mode to hold food cooked in the Speedcook Oven.

In all cases, the last screen viewed in the other oven will open when you toggle over to it.

  1. To toggle from the Lower Oven to a Speedcook screen, you have two options:

a. Tap the Back key. b. Tap Speedcook Oven.

When you tap Whole, the preheat and cook screen for roasting a whole turkey displays, with choices about the poundage, etc.

To see where you are in the menu levels or to back out of your selection, you can tap the Back key. The preheat and cook screen for whole turkey will be dimmed on the right of the screen, and the menu levels will show on the left:

Using Tips: At this point, for many foods you will also see the information key logo iTap this logo to see helpful tips about cooking your food. For example, the tip may tell you that the cook settings are based on the food going into the oven at a refrigerated or frozen temperature, or that the settings are for an unstuffed meat or poultry item.

Note: For ALL foods use the smallest pan possible to get the greatest air flow and the best cooking results.

Adjusting Time and Temperature: This screen will also give you options for adjusting the oven temperature and the cooking time by tapping the Temperature or Time sections of the bar. For more information on adjusting temperature, go to page 31, and for more information on adjusting time, go to page 29.

Using the Five Main Speedcook Functions

Now that you know more about operating your Speedcook Oven, let's look at the full array of functions available from the Speedcook main menu. From each main menu option, the process of selecting from a few submenus to get to the food item you want to cook is essentially the same. You will also discover that starting from different functions and following different menu paths will take you to the same food item and programmed settings.

Starting from Cook Mode

Your Speedcook Oven offers eight cook modes that enable you to choose the best cooking method for many kinds of foods. As shown in the example, tapping Cook mode on the main Speedcook Oven menu opens this screen.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Air Crisp Toast Bake Broil Dehydrate Roast Convection Bake 02:23 Lower Oven

Scroll down the list if you want to access Defrost.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Air Shop Bake Broil Roast Toast Dehydrate Convection Bake Defrost 09:45 Lower Oven

Five of these modes, Bake, Roast, Broil, Defrost, and Convection Bake are traditional settings while the other three, Air Crisp, Dehydrate, and Toast, are new cook modes designed to expand and enhance your cooking experience.

The Speedcook Oven

Tap any cook mode to open a screen listing the various types of foods you can cook using this mode. As we saw in the example, tapping Roast opens a menu of food types that do well when roasted.

As you navigate through the menus under each option, notice that the touch screen helps you keep track of where you are by showing each menu level in the left-hand column. You can return to the previous level by tapping the category shown above it. For example, if you have gone to the lists of cuts of pork and want to see lamb instead, tap Meats to return to that screen.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Roast Me Lamb Bone-in Leg of Lamb Boneless Leg of Lamb Rack of Lamb 02:23 Lower Oven

Air Crisp
air crisp

Think of Air Crisp cooking as air frying. In Air Crisp mode, high temperature air moves through the cook cavity at varying speeds to brown and crisp the food product. Food comes out nicely caramelized, but much lower in fat content than if it had been deep fried.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Air Crisp Corn Dogs Crab Cakes Dip Egg Rolls, Mini Fish Sticks Fries Hash Brown Patties 02:27 Lower Oven

This mode is great for foods that traditionally taste best when fried, like French fries, as well as items, like stuffed mushrooms, with any sort of breading or stuffing that should toast and brown in the cooking process.

Metal sheet pans work well for air crisping.

The Speedcook Oven

Toast
toast

Toasting browns and crisps foods. Using high heat and high-speed air, the Toast mode can enhance flavor and melt cheese.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Bread Toast Bagels Melt Cheese Hamburger Buns Sandwiches Toasted Pastry 02:28 Lower Oven

Use Toast mode for foods like bread, bagels, tortillas, and pastries. For best results, place food directly on the oven rack. For products like fi lled pastries that may run over, use a metal sheet pan.

Bake
VIKING VDOT730AR - The Speedcook Oven - 3

natural_image Diagram of a bake oven with fan arrangement and ventilation system (no text or symbols)

Traditionally, to bake is to cook with dry heat. Hot air from the top and bottom of the oven envelops the food in a radiant dry heat, which combines with a little moisture from the food to become a circulating vapor in the oven.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Bake Breads Casseroles Chicken and Fowl Desserts and Pastries Meats Pizza and Pastas Vegetables and Grains 02:29 Lower Oven

The Speedcook Oven uses the traditional baking process. However, the hot air is moved through the cook cavity at higher speeds than in a traditional oven. This rapid movement of air decreases cook times while ensuring foods bake evenly and retain more moisture.

Baking is the usual mode for cooking breads, cakes, cookies and other pastries, and most casseroles.

In Bake mode, metal cookware will provide more bottom browning while items in glass cookware will tend to cook a little faster. Pizzas can be baked on a pizza pan or placed directly on the oven rack. Some casseroles may need to be covered with parchment paper to prevent over-browning.

The Speedcook Oven

Broil
broil dehydrate

The Broil mode on your Speedcook Oven will yield the same or superior results as broiling in a traditional oven. The only difference is that your food cooks faster due to the hot air moving through the cook cavity at increased speeds.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Broil Chicken and Fowl Meats Seafood and Fish Lower Oven 02:29

Foods that are typically broiled are quick cooking, inherently tender, relatively lean, and not too thick, (for example, beef steaks, whole fish, and chicken satay).

Cast iron grill pans, metal sheet pans, and metal broiling pans all work well in Broil mode.

Dehydrate
VIKING VDOT730AR - The Speedcook Oven - 3

natural_image Line drawing of a vehicle front view with control panels and ventilation grilles (no text or symbols)

Considered the original form of preservation, dehydrating removes a food's natural moisture by slowly drying it with a low heat. Food can be dehydrated manually by placing thin slices on racks and allowing them to dry, assisted only by sun or air. To shorten the dehydrating process, the Speedcook Oven uses low temperature air moving at higher speeds.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Dehydrate Dried Fruits Dried Vegetables Jerky 02:29 Lower Oven

This mode is ideal for products like banana chips and other dried fruits, as well as dried meats, like beef jerky.

Sheet pans, non-stick screens, and pizza pans (with or without holes) are all recommended for use with Dehydrate mode.

The Speedcook Oven

Roast
VIKING VDOT730AR - The Speedcook Oven - 1

natural_image Diagram of a modern restaurant interior with curved ceiling and seating arrangement, labeled 'roast' at bottom (no other text or symbols)

In Roast mode (see the screen in the introduction to Cook mode), the Speedcook Oven uses a combination of low and high speed air to brown the outside of food while retaining moisture inside.

Roasting and baking are similar in concept, but roasting is used mostly for meats and vegetables.

Speedcook Oven Cook mode Roast Chicken and Fowl Meats Vegetables and Grains Reheat 02:29 Lower Oven

Roasting pans (without lids), glass casserole dishes (with or without lids), and sheet pans all work well with this mode. Shallow pans will allow food to brown more. An uncovered pan without liquids will help keep the heat dry and allow foods to brown and crisp. Setting meats and poultry directly on a rack in a pan keeps them from steaming in their own juices.

Convection Bake
convection bake

When set to Convection Bake, the Speedcook Oven operates as a standard convection oven with the fans running at a low speed. This function creates the same cooking environment as the Lower Oven in Convection Bake mode.

Tap Convection Bake to open this screen.

Time: The interval's length is a percentage of the total cook time. In the screen shown above, the total cook time is 4 minutes so each interval is 1 minute (25% of total) in length. When time intervals are adjusted, they must total 100%.

Upper Air: The intensity of the air coming from the convection fan in the top of the oven. You can adjust the air intensity in 10% increments from 0–100%. An upper air intensity of 0% would mean that no air is blowing from the top of the oven. An upper air intensity of 100% would mean that the upper air fan is at its maximum.

Lower Air: The intensity of the air coming from the convection fan in the bottom of the oven. You can adjust the air intensity in 10% increments from 0 to 100%. A lower air intensity of 0% would mean that no air is blowing from the bottom of the oven. A lower air intensity of 100% would mean that the lower air fan is at its maximum.

Microwave: Controls the amount of microwave power being used. You can adjust the microwave power in 10% increments from 0 to 100%.

  1. To change the settings, at the Advanced Setting screen tap the number in the table that you want to change. For example, to decrease the microwave power in the first interval to 40%, tap the 80 in the fourth row of the first column.

The Lower Oven

The Lower Oven in the Double Oven model is both a conventional and convection oven that provides uniform cooking throughout in fi ve cook modes. The Lower Oven also uses the touch screen control.

Speedcook Oven Made: Off Timer 00:00 Oven: 0° Probe Start Timer Bake Convection Bake Off Roast Convection Roast 01:47 Lower Oven

The Lower Oven can also be used as a proofing oven or warming drawer.

Lower Oven Functions and Settings
Speedcook Oven Lower Oven Made Bake Timer 00:00 Oven 350° Probe Start Timer Bake Convection Bake Off Roast Convection Roast Hot at from the top and bottom of the oven envelops the food in a radiant dry heat, which becomes a circulating vapor when combined with a little moisture from the food. 01:48

The Lower Oven features six cook modes:

  • Convection Bake
  • Convection Roast
    • Hi Broil
  • Low Broil
  • Roast
  • Bake

In addition to these six modes, Warm and Proof Modes further expand the overall capabilities of the bottom oven.

The Lower Oven has two top heating elements, a fan and heating element in the back of the cook cavity, and a bottom heating element. Unlike most traditional ovens, the bottom heating element is concealed beneath the cook cavity. This feature allows for a bigger cook cavity, easier cleaning, and more uniform heating.

Cook Modes

Bake
VIKING VDOT730AR - Cook Modes - 1

natural_image Top-down diagram of a baking oven with a central bowl and decorative windows, labeled 'bake' at the bottom (no other text or symbols)

Traditionally, baking is to cook with dry heat. Hot air from the top and bottom of the oven envelops the food in a radiant dry heat, which combines with a little moisture from the food to become a circulating vapor in the oven.

The Lower Oven

Convection Bake
convection bake

Convection Bake uses the same heating elements as Bake, with the addition of a convection fan and heater in the back of the cook cavity. This fan and heater help heat and circulate the air evenly throughout the chamber to produce superior browning and crisping.

Any food cooked in the Bake mode can also be prepared using Convection Bake and vice versa. In general, items cooked in Convection Bake will cook about 33% faster than when cooked in Bake. The temperature should be reduced by 25°F.

Broil Hi and Broil Lo
VIKING VDOT730AR - The Lower Oven - 2

natural_image Top-down diagram of a broiler oven with a central granular material inside (no text or symbols)

Broiling directly exposes food to radiant heat (as over a fire or on top of a grill). The heat is direct and intense, and it differs from baking or roasting in that only the top side of the food is exposed to the heat source.

Foods that are typically broiled are quick cooking, inherently tender, relatively lean, and not too thick, (for example, beef steaks, whole fish, and chicken satay).

Roast
VIKING VDOT730AR - The Lower Oven - 3

natural_image Top-down diagram of a microwave oven with grating and air ducts, showing airflow direction (no text or symbols)

Roasting and baking are similar in concept, but roasting is used mostly for meats and vegetables as opposed to baked goods. Hot air from the top and bottom of the oven is used to brown the outside of food while retaining moisture inside.

In the Lower Oven, the two top heating elements provide optimized control for broiling and roasting.

The Lower Oven

Convection Roast
convection roast

Convection Roast uses the same heating elements as Roast. However, unlike Roast, Convection Roast utilizes the convection fan and heater in the back of the oven to help heat and circulate the air throughout the cook cavity.

Any item cooked under Roast can be prepared using Convection Roast and vice versa. As a general rule, items cook about 33% faster under Convection Roast than Roast. The temperature should be reduced by 25°F.

Additional Settings

Two additional settings increase the versatility of your oven.

Warm

In the Warm setting, the Lower Oven becomes a warming drawer, using top and bottom heat to keep the cook cavity at 145°F, the perfect environment for holding foods at just the right temperature until serving time. Because foods cook individually and rapidly in the Speedcook Oven, you will want to use the Warm setting to hold dishes cooked first until the entire meal is ready to serve.

Proof

The Proof setting uses heat from the top and bottom of the oven to keep the cook cavity at the perfect temperature for yeast dough to rise: 90° to 105° F. Some doughs may require moisture to proof correctly. If moisture is needed, place a sheet pan of water under the lower rack.

Using the Lower Oven

CAUTION

Due to the concealed heating element in the bottom oven, DO NOT cover or line the bottom of the oven with foil.

From the Lower Oven main menu:

  1. Use the touch screen to select the desired oven mode: Convection Bake, Convection Roast, Broil, Roast, Bake, Warm, or Proof. Once a cooking mode is selected, the mode screen displays a bar with the mode you have chosen, a timer section, an oven temperature section, and a probe section (see page 42 for using the oven probe).

Self-Cleaning

CAUTION

Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-vented during the self-cleaning cycle.

Note: The upper and lower ovens CANNOT be self-cleaned at the same time.

During the self-clean cycle, the oven heats to an extremely high temperature in order to allow food soil to burn off. To initiate a self-clean cycle:

  1. Make sure the cook cavity is empty and remove the oven rack.

Note: Failure to remove the oven rack will cause the rack to discolor.

  1. Remove large particles and wipe standing liquids/grease.

Note: Failure to remove large food particles and wipe the oven down may result in smoke while the oven is self-cleaning.

Removing the lower jetplate and cleaning beneath it prior to performing a self-clean cycle (Speedcook Oven ONLY) is recommended.

  1. From the Advanced screen under Settings, select Self-Clean. Then choose Self-clean Speedcook Oven or Self-clean Lower Oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I cook in the Speedcook Oven?

What about my recipes?

Anything that is cooked in a regular oven can be cooked in the TurboChef Speedcook oven. Cook settings for favorite recipes can be saved in the oven for quick and easy access whenever cooking one of the family favorites. There are certain foods that require low heat and slow cooking for best results.

Is the lower oven a Speedcook oven also?

No. The lower oven is a conventional/convection oven. Additionally, the lower oven can be used as a warming drawer or proofing oven.

What is the temperature range of the oven?

The upper oven cooks at 250^ F to 500^ F. The lower oven cooks at 100^ F to 500^ F.

Is the oven self-cleaning?

Yes. Both the upper and lower ovens are self-cleaning. Self-cleaning takes approximately 4 hours. You can not self-clean the top and bottom ovens at the same time.

How long does the oven take to preheat?

Preheat takes 8-14 minutes depending on the temperature selected. By default, the oven preheats to 350^ F.

What if moisture collects on control panel?

Cooking foods with high moisture content may cause steam/moisture to collect on the control panel. This is normal and can be simply removed with a dry soft cloth.

How much faster is the Speedcook Oven?

Up to 15 TIMES FASTER than "conventional" cooking. Up to 5-8 TIMES FASTER than "convection" cooking.

Some examples of cook times:

• 12 lb. turkey in 42 minutes
• A single baked potato in 6 minutes
• 20 stalks of asparagus in 45 seconds
- 6 chocolate souffl és in 3 minutes

How does the Speedcook oven work?

The Speedcook oven uses a patented Airspeed Technology to cook food up to 15 times faster than conventional cooking methods while retaining more moisture and locking in juices and flavor.

What is Airspeed Technology?

Airspeed Technology refers to how the air is circulated through the cook cavity. Unlike a convection oven, where air is circulated by a fan in the back of the oven, the TurboChef Speedcook oven, forces the air through "jet plates" located in the top and bottom of the oven, at varying speeds, to accelerate the cooking process while maintaining superior quality.

How do I know what time and temperature to use for the Speedcook oven?

The oven does all the work. The oven contains over 700 preprogrammed time and temperature settings that were developed by an experienced team of chefs, food scientists, and engineers who performed over 6,000 tests. Through the user interface, the oven guides the user through a series of selections: cooking mode (roast), food type (turkey), weight (12 lbs.). From the users selections, the oven can determine the proper cook time and temperature.

Can I make adjustments to the preprogrammed settings?

Yes. When the cook cycle is 80% complete, the user will have the opportunity to tell the oven how they would like it to proceed: Cook Less, Brown Less, Cook & Brown Less, Finished, or continue on without any changes. When the cook cycle is complete, the user again has the opportunity to tell the oven how to proceed: Cook More, Brown More, Cook & Brown More, or Finished.

Once a cook setting has been perfected, it can be saved under the "Favorites" mode. This allows the user to quickly recall the exact cook settings the next time the item is cooked.

Any defects must be reported to the selling dealer within ninety (90) days from date of original retail purchase. Viking Range, LLC uses high quality processes and materials available to produce all color finishes.
