A builder friend of mine gave me this rangetop. When I turn it on to high, the flames reach up to a foot high. It’s more normal when I turn the knob lower though. Is this just the way Vikings are? It seems like a fire hazard to me.
Also, when I use the griddle function, The front panel of the unit becomes hot enough to cause a blistering burn if you touch it. (I put my meat thermometer on top and it read over 212°) again, is this normal? I guess I don’t mind being careful not to touch it, but I suspect that that heat can’t be good for the electronic parts inside of it
