Things We Love:

The Viking Professional 5 Series Dual Fuel Range fine-tunes professional performance, giving you high performance features with unrivaled power. If you’re dreaming of a professional kitchen, Viking Ranges help that dream become a reality. Using this range elevates your cooking experience and makes it easy for you to do what you love!

Available in multiple burner, griddle and oven combinations, we love that it’s easy to configure this range to perfectly fit your cooking needs. Options include 30, 36, 48, and 60 inch sizes, with the 48 and 60 inch ranges offering two ovens, all available in seven different colors. The burners offer 15,000 BTUs and the exclusive professional-quality VariSimmer setting provides gentle, even simmering at a precise low cooking temperature to keep your food cooking just the way you need it to. We love that the SureSpark ignition system lights every time, and relights automatically if the flame goes out, even on the lowest setting. The continuous grate design allows for easy movement of pots and pans across the burners without removing them from the heat, and the one-piece tooled and porcelain-coated cooking surface makes cleanup easy.

If you’re looking for one of the largest oven cavities on the market, you’ve found it with the large capacity feature of this range that gives you plenty of space to cook your favorite meals, and offers a self-cleaning feature when you’re done. It also includes over ten high performance cooking modes to help you feel like a professional cook, whether you’re baking, roasting, broiling, dehydrating, or defrosting. We love the Rapid Ready preheat system, which features one of the fastest preheat times so your oven is ready to cook when you are. This range features Viking’s exclusive Vari-Speed Dual Flow convection system, which rotates the convection fan in both directions to maximize airflow and provide excellent cooking results. Instead of using direct heat from the top or bottom, the TruConvec convection cooking feature combines a convection element in the rear of the oven with fan-forced air to perfectly cook your food. The Gourmet-Glo Infrared Broiler creates superior performance by reaching 1,500°F and reaches maximum coverage that surpasses any others on the residential market. Another feature we love is the concealed 10-pass dual-bake element that enables precise temperature control. This range features six rack positions and comes with two TruGlide full extension oven racks and one standard rack for all your cooking needs.

Viking Ranges give you the flexibility to cook all of your favorite foods and help you spend more time cooking and less time cleaning, all while providing professional quality features.

Things to Consider:

The Viking Professional 5 Series Dual Fuel Range is part of the 5 series entry-level professional line and does not have as many commercial features as the 7 series.
