COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.

Material -- Attributes -- Recommendation

1. Shiny metal bakeware

• Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware is the best for even heating. It is suitable for all baked goods.
  • Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shiny metal bakeware.

2. Dark metal bakeware

• Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.
  • Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.

3. Glass bakeware

• Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.
• Glass is convenient, as the same piece of bakeware can be used for cooking, serving, and storing food.
  • Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.

4. Insulated bakeware

• Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware.
• Insulated bakeware is designed for baking in gas ovens.
  • Increase the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) when using insulated bakeware.

Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

1. Aging cookware

Attributes

• As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly

Recommendation

• If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
• If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

2. High altitude

Attributes

• Air is drier and air pressure is lower.
• Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.
• Foods may take longer to bake.
• Doughs may rise faster.

Recommendation

• Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed.
• Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
• Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation. Increase bake time or oven temperature.
• Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.

Cooking Results

Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

• Food too light: Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
• Food too dark: Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Cooking Tips

Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

Cooking -- Tips

Baking

• Rack placement: Follow the instructions in “Setting Oven Controls” on starting. When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
• Preheat: Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.
• Checking food: Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance.
• Bake or Convection Bake: Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best performance, see “Convection Bake”
• Food placement: Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Broiling / Roasting

• Broiling pan: For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com.

Convection Cooking

• Convection attributes
  • Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven.
  • Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.
• Convection bake
  • Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection baking.
  • Preheat the oven for best results.
• Convection roast
  • Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry.
  • Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time.
  • Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.
  • Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery and home goods stores.
  • Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
  • Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.
  • When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If you do not have one of these accessories, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Assembly of the burner caps

Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
2. Make sure burner caps are properly placed on the surface burners.
3. Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop.
4. Discard all packing material.

On round-style burners, the burner cap lip should fit snug into the center of the burner head and rest level. Refer to Figure 2 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement.

CAUTION

• Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
• Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use.
• Never place flammable items on the cooktop.

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Figure 3) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click

IMPORTANT: Please note that the burner cap should not move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.

• Check and be sure that all oval-style burner caps (some models) are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
• Do not use the surface burners without the burner caps properly installed. Improperly seated burner caps may prevent burners from lighting or cause uneven flame and heating.
• Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.
• Never place flammable items on the cooktop.

Install burner grates

To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.

IMPORTANT

• Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
• Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess.
• Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining.

Using Proper Cookware

• The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 5 and Figure 6.
• Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Figure 5). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element (See Figure 6).

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See Aluminum).
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

CAUTION: Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

IMPORTANT: Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.

CAUTION: Do not straddle cookware over two burner areas unless the cookware is specifically designed for that purpose.

Gas surface burner types

The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases.

• Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
• Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.
• The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the flame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Setting surface controls

The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners.

It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

• The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
• Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
• Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.

Setting a surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 7).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

IMPORTANT

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the cookware is specifically designed for the purpose.
• DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the lite position ( ). The electronic ignitor will continue to spark. Turn the control knob out of the lite position and adjust the flame size.
• Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If items melt, they may permanently damage the appearance of the cooktop.

CAUTION: Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners.

NOTE

• When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to lite. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually

Set proper burner flame size

• The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange.
• For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking (Figure 9).
• For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

CAUTION: Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 8).

Cooking with a griddle (some models)

• The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that require large flat surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking different foods at the same time.
• After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher.
• If you would like to purchase a griddle, you can order one from Frigidaire.com.

Using the griddle: Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

• The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

WARNING: Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

CAUTION

• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
• Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.
• To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity

Types of oven racks

• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional step down positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions. To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks

• Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
• To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
• To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

NOTE: Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Table 2: Broil recommendations

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, **Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). All cook times shown are after 2 minutes of preheating.

Self Clean (models A and C)

• A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
• While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperature much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Oder is also normal because the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

CAUTION

• During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is complete. The oven may still be very hot.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

IMPORTANT: Adhere to the following self clean precautions:

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 21). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket.
• Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils, and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.
• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity easily.
• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting the self cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
• Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. These areas are shown in white (Figure 21).

7. CLn will appear in the display during the self clean cycle, and the door locked light will glow until the self cleaning cycle is complete or cancelled and the oven temperature has cooled.

When the self clean cycle has completed:

1. The time of day will appear in the display window, and the Self Clean indicator light and Door Locked light will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the Door Locked light has gone out, the oven door may be opened.
3. To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven door after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

To stop or interrupt a self clean cycle (once it has been activated):

1. Press OFF.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the door locked light has turned off, the oven door can be opened.
3. Restart the self clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

NOTE:

• Whenever the self clean feature is active, you may check the amount of time remaining in the self clean cycle by pressing the clean key. Remember the range door cannot be opened until the range has cooled sufficiently. You will need to add about 1 hour to the time displayed before you can use the range for cooking.
• When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Steam Clean (Model B)

The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and light soils.

CAUTION

• Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other abrasive household cleaners to the water used for Steam Clean.
• Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns.

Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start. Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool oven.

To set a Steam Clean cycle:

1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.
2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven bottom.
3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom.(Figure 22) Close oven door.
4. Press Steam Clean.
5. Press either the up arrow or down arrow to activate. St Cn will appear in the display.
6. The time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle is shown in the display. Do not open the door during this time. If door is open while in steam clean (d-O) will appear in the display.
7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and the END message will show in the display. Press OFF to return to the clock. Press OFF at any time to cancel Steam Clean.
8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor.
9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket (Figure 23). Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning cavity.

Notes:

• Opening the oven door during the steam clean cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.
• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.
• A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.
• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill out while wiping out.
• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time.
• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent and the oven door glass. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.
• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.
• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delayed start time.

Adjusting the oven temperature

• Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully.
• If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.

NOTE: Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

• Oven temperature adjustments made will not affect the broil or self cleaning feature temperatures.
• If the display is set for Celsius, adjustments made will be in 1°C increments with each press of arrow keys.

To adjust oven temperature:

1. Press Bake.
2. Set the temperature to 550°F (288°C) by pressing and holding .
3. Within 3 seconds, press and hold Bake until numeric digit(s) appear. Release Bake key. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven control has the original factory calibration, the display will read 00.
4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (19°C), in 5°F (or 1°C) increments.
5. Press and hold to adjust the temperature higher until the desired amount of offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature using , a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees.
6. When you have made the desired adjustment, press OFF to go back to the time of day display
