- Is this oven actually a steam oven or just steam-assisted?
- It is a conventional electric oven with steam cooking functions, not a pure combi steam oven. Steam is used to add moisture during baking and roasting and for the SteamClean cycle.
- What are the electrical requirements?
- It runs on 240V and needs a dedicated circuit sized for a double wall oven. Have a licensed electrician confirm your panel and wiring before installation.
- What cutout size does it need?
- It is a 30-inch class unit about 29.5 inches wide and 25.75 inches deep, so it fits a standard 30-inch double wall oven cabinet cutout. Check Viking's installation guide for exact dimensions.
- How does it compare with a Wolf or Thermador double oven?
- Viking's edge is steam cooking and its commercial look; Wolf and Thermador counter with their own steam and convection features and smart options. None of the three offers voice control on this class of oven.
- Do I need to descale it?
- Yes. Steam functions mineralize over time, so plan on periodic descaling and wiping the cavity to keep performance and avoid buildup.
- Can both ovens be used at the same time?
- Yes. The two cavities are independent, so you can run different temperatures and modes simultaneously, which is the main reason to choose a double over a single oven.
- Where is the Viking Professional 7 Series Double Electric Wall Oven cheapest?
- At Abt Electronics, for $11,859.00, as of our latest check.
