Why does my Viking Dishwasher leave a milky film on glasses?
If your Viking Dishwasher leaves a milky appearance or rainbow effect on glasses, it could be due to excessive detergent use with low water hardness. Reduce the amount of detergent you're using. Check your local water supplier for hardness levels and compare them to your dishwasher's settings. If the water hardness is below 7 degrees or 106 ppm, do not use salt, even if your dishwasher has a water softener.

This document outlines the user and installation guide for Viking 3 Series Built-In Induction Cooktops, specifically models RVIC3304B, RVIC3306B, and RVIC3366B. It provides comprehensive information on safe operation, installation, and maintenance, emphasizing user safety and optimal performance.
The cooktop's primary function is to provide a versatile and efficient cooking experience through induction technology. It features multiple heating zones, with models offering either 4 or 6 burners, depending on the width. Each heating zone utilizes an induction coil that generates a variable electromagnetic field. This field induces currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of compatible cookware, causing the pan itself to heat up directly. This method ensures rapid heating and precise temperature control.
Key usage features include a sensitive touch control panel, allowing users to activate and adjust power levels with a simple finger slide. The "Slider" selection zone provides both direct access to desired power levels and a sliding motion for gradual adjustments. A clear digital display indicates the selected power level, from 0 (off) to 9, with additional indicators for Power Booster (P) and Double Power Booster (,,). The Power Booster function provides an ultra-high power boost for up to 5 minutes, ideal for quickly boiling water or searing.
Safety is paramount, with several integrated features. The cooktop includes a pan detection system that prevents heating if no pan is present or if an incompatible pan is used, displaying a "U" symbol. If a pan is removed during cooking, the operation stops, and the "U" symbol appears until the pan is returned. Residual heat indicators ("H") illuminate after a heating zone is turned off or the cooktop is stopped, warning users that the surface is still hot and should not be touched.
The cooktop also incorporates advanced functions for enhanced cooking convenience. A timer function can be set simultaneously for all heating zones, with individual time settings ranging from 0 to 1 hour and 59 minutes. An independent egg timer function is also available. Automatic cooking allows a zone to start at full power for a set duration, then automatically reduce to a pre-selected level. The "Stop&Go" function temporarily pauses all cooking activity and allows for a restart with the same settings. A "Keep Warm" function maintains a temperature of 158°F (70°C) for up to 2 hours, preventing liquids from overflowing or burning.
For larger cookware, the "Bridge" function allows two cooking zones to be combined and operated as a single, larger zone with shared features. This is particularly useful for griddles or oversized pots. The control panel can be locked to prevent accidental changes to settings, especially during cleaning, by holding the lock key for 3 seconds.
The cooktop's cooling system is fully automatic, with fans activating to regulate the temperature of the internal electronics. Fan speed adjusts based on temperature, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Maintenance features focus on keeping the glass ceramic top clean and protected. For normal, light soil, a glass ceramic cleaning cream applied with a damp paper towel is recommended. For heavy or burned soil, a single-edged razor blade held at a 30° angle can be used in conjunction with the cleaning cream. It is crucial to clean up sugar, jam, or jelly spills immediately to prevent surface damage. The manual explicitly warns against using abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or steam cleaners, as these can permanently damage the cooktop's finish. Regular cleaning helps maintain a protective coating on the glass surface, reducing susceptibility to scratches, abrasions, and staining.
The guide also provides troubleshooting steps for common issues, such as the cooktop not starting, pan detection errors, or automatic cut-off, directing users to check connections, pan compatibility, or contact service if necessary. It emphasizes the importance of proper ventilation and ensuring the cooling fan exhaust is not blocked.
Overall, the Viking 3 Series Built-In Induction Cooktop is designed for efficient, safe, and convenient cooking, with intuitive controls and features that cater to a variety of culinary needs while prioritizing user safety and ease of maintenance.
