Lighting Burners
All burners are ignited by electric ignition. There are no open-flame, “standing” pilots.
Surface Burners-Automatic Reignition
To light the surface burners, push and turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any position.
This control is both a gas valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “ON” position with the
automatic re-ignition system. If the flame goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if
the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On
all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do not, turn off the control and check that the
unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or tripped.

Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to light. When the burner lights, turn the
burner control to any position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame height for the desired cooking process and
selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.

Vari-Simmer™
Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water.
Simmering ensures gentler treatment than boiling to prevent food from toughening and/or breaking up. The size of the pan and
the volume of food can have a significant effect on how high or low a flame is needed for simmering. For this reason, Viking
range and rangetop burners are engineered with a Vari-Simmer setting. The Vari-Simmer setting is not just one simmer setting,
but provides a variable range of simmer settings. This variable range of simmer settings allows you to adjust the flame height to
achieve the best simmer depending on the type and quantity of food being simmered. It is this ability that makes the Vari-
Simmer setting the most accurate and trustworthy simmer on the market.
