Viking Oven FAQs
To clean a Viking oven, start by removing the racks and wiping away loose debris with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning, use the oven’s self-cleaning cycle, which heats the interior to high temperatures to burn off residue. Just make sure to remove all pans and foil beforehand. After the cycle, let the oven cool completely, then wipe away the remaining ash with a soft, damp sponge for a spotless finish.
A Viking oven range or even built in models can last 15 to 20 years with proper care and regular maintenance. Its commercial-grade construction and high-quality materials are designed to withstand daily use, even in busy kitchens. Keep the burners, fans, and seals clean, and schedule professional servicing when needed to extend their lifespan.
Prices for a Viking oven vary significantly depending on size, fuel type, and added features, but you can expect an average starting price of around $5,000–$7,000 for a standard built-in model. Larger freestanding models, double ovens, or those with premium finishes can range from $9,000 up to $14,000 or more in some cases. Because different types of ovens include varying technology, finishes, and sizes, you'll want to compare specific models and installation costs to determine your actual budget.
