- What does dual fuel mean on this range?
- The cooktop runs on liquid propane gas, while the oven is electric. That gives you gas flame control for cooking on top and steadier electric heat for baking.
- How does it compare with the Viking 5 Series all-gas range?
- The dual fuel version adds an electric oven, which bakes more evenly than a gas oven. The all-gas model needs only a gas line, while this one also needs a 240V electrical connection.
- Is the oven big enough for a large turkey?
- At 5.6 cu ft it is one of the larger ovens in a 36-inch range and handles a big roast or multiple racks of baking.
- Does it come with a griddle?
- Yes, the range includes a built-in griddle, which sits over part of the cooktop for flat-surface cooking.
- What installation does it need?
- It is freestanding and 36 inches wide, and it needs a liquid propane gas supply plus a 240V circuit for the oven. Plan for a hood rated for the range's heat output.
- Is it hard to clean?
- Owners say the cooktop and griddle need regular scrubbing, and the stainless and white surfaces show spills. The oven's self-clean cycle helps with the interior.
