WARNING

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

RADIANT COOKTOP

• Know which knob or key controls each surface

heating area. Place cookware with food on the

cooking area before turning it on. Turn the

cooking area off before removing the

cookware.

• Cookware handles should be turned inward

and not extend over adjacent surface

elements — To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage

due to unintentional contact with the utensil,

the handle of the cookware should be posi-

tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not

extend over other cooking areas.

• Use proper pan size - This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units of

different sizes. Select cookware with flat

bottoms that match the surface unit size.

Using the proper cookware on the cooking

area will improve efficiency.

• Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types

of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,

or other glazed utensils are suitable for

cooktop service without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop

use.

• Improper cookware may break due to sudden

changes in temperature. Check the cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop

use.

• Never leave surface elements unattended.

Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy

spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry

could be damaged and may damage the

cooktop.

• Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a

broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is

not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so

may result in a fire.

• When you are flaming foods under a venti-

lating hood, turn on the fan.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND

CERAMIC COOKTOPS

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop

and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a

qualified technician immediately.

• Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam

burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

• Do not touch surface elements or elements,

areas near these burners or elements,

interior surfaces of the oven, or the warmer

drawer (if equipped). Surface burners and

elements may be hot even though they

appear cool. Areas near surface burners and

elements may become hot enough to cause

burns. During and after use, do not touch, or

let clothing or other flammable materials

touch these areas until they are cool. These

areas may include the cooktop, surfaces

facing the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven

door, and oven window.

• Do not attempt to operate the appliance

during a power failure. If the power fails,

always turn off the appliance. If the

appliance is not turned off and the power

resumes, electric surface elements may

resume operation when power is restored.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,

aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials

or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or

any other part of the appliance. Only use

aluminum as recommended for baking, such

as lining cookware or as a cover placed on

food. Any other use of protective liners or

aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric

shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven

door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand

to the side of the appliance when opening the

door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape

before you remove or replace food in the

oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching

surfaces in this area when the oven is on may

cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or

heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.

These items can melt or ignite.

• Placement of oven racks - Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If

rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not

let potholder contact hot burner or element in

oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with

both hands to reposition. Remove all

cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.

Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to

drain away from the high heat of the broiler.

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum

foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always

cook in proper cookware and always use the

oven racks.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

listed in this manual.

• Before using self clean, remove the broiler

pan, any food, utensils, and cookware from

the oven, storage drawer or warming drawer

(if equipped). Remove oven racks unless

otherwise instructed.

• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the

fumes given off during the self clean cycle of

any oven. Move birds to another well-venti-

lated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND

MAINTENANCE

• Do not repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless specifically recommended in

the manuals. All other servicing should be

done only by a qualified technician. This

reduces the risk of personal injury and

damage to the appliance.

• Important Safety Notice - The California Safe

Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

requires the governor of California to publish

a list of substances known to cause cancer,

birth defects, or other reproductive harms,

and requires businesses to warn customers

of potential exposures to such substances.

IMPORTANT

Using Proper Cookware

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of

the cookware (See

Figure 2). Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element (See

Figure 3). For detailed information

about the ceramic cooktop, refer to “Cooktop Maintenance”

on page 35.

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface element 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). If aluminum pans

slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal

marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these

marks immediately.

• 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 however will retain

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature

is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic

cooktops.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will

vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel

coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic

cooktops.

• Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for

ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the

glass.

The size and type of cookware

used will influence the radiant

element power level setting

needed for best cooking results.

Be sure to follow the recommen

dations for using proper cook-

ware as illustrated in Figure 2 and

Figure 3.

Figure 2: Testing cookware

Figure 3: Proper cookware

• Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Tight ﬁtting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared and the size

of the surface element.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot

diameter to element

size.

• Curved and warped pans.

• Cookware larger than

cooking area marked on

cooktop by more than

one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than the

heating area marked on

cooktop.

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting

point of cookware made with these materials may be

reached quickly especially if left empty, and they may

bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will

damage the cooktop. Be sure to follow all the cookware

manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of

cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

IMPORTANT

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located

below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic

cooktop outlines the area of the surface element under

neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of

the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed

cookware should be used.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface

elements in use and their settings are all factors that will

affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond

the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements

may become hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the

temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain

the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The

heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform

and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

When an element is turned on the ELEMENT ON indicator

light will glow. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn

on when the element is hot enough to cause burns and will

remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe tempera

ture after the element is turned off. The ELEMENT ON

indicator light will glow when one or more elements are

turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when

cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface

elements are turned off.

• The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or

work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the

cooktop may crack it.

• Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop

surface. Placing food directly on the smoothtop

surface (without cooking utensil) is not recommended

as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke

and cause potential fire hazard.

• Always lift cookware before moving on ceramic glass

cooktop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty

bottoms can scratch the ceramic cooktop. Always

start with clean cookware.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt,

to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these

items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic

cooktop.

Radiant elements may be hot after they appear to have

cooled but the glass surface may still be hot and burns

may occur if the glass surface is touched before the

indicator light has turned off.

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to

cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to

prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the

HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too

small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is

not flat.

Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section

and Before You Call checklist section of this Use and

Care Guide.

• The element on and hot surface indicator lights will

glow when the element is turned on and will continue

to glow after the control knob is turned to the OFF

position. It will glow until the heating surface area has

cooled sufficiently.

Figure 4: The Element On indicator glows when any

element is on. The Hot Surface indicator light is on as long

as the surface is hot enough to cause burns.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 proce

dures.

Home Canning Do’s and Don’ts

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning.

• Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• 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.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed

1 inch beyond the surface element markings.

• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on

ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the

element.

• 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.

• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the

units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to

avoid canning on the same element unit all day.

Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use

extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to

vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that

harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are

sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner,

a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously

for the required time.

CAUTION

Surface Control Settings

The size and type of cookware used, and the amount and

type of food being cooked will influence the surface element

power level setting needed for best cooking results. Once

an element is heating it will cycle on and off to maintain the

heat setting. The element on indicator light will glow once a

element is turned on.

Use Table 1 to determine the correct setting for the type of

food you are preparing.

Figure 5: Cooktop showing bridge element (L) and triple

element right front. Warmer zone middle (rear).

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The hot surface light will

turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop

has cooled down to a moderate level.

The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if

the glass surface is touched before the hot surface

indicator light has turned off.

• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and

then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. A

glowing red surface heating area extending beyond

the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the

cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

• Never straddle cookware between two surfaces

unless designed for that purpose.

The size and type of cookware used will influence the

setting needed for best cooking results.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

NOTE

Table 1: Recommended settings for surface elements

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper

shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the

range 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 elements.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain

cookware or any material that can melt to make contact

with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the

cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly

on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide

and adjust the control knob as needed.

Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat

at each setting. Refer to

Table 1 for suggested settings.

CAUTION

NOTE

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Single Radiant Element

The cooktop has three single radiant surface elements: the

left rear and left front elements, and the right rear element.

The left front element may also be used with the bridge

element. The triple element also has a single element

setting for smaller cookware.

To operate a single element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either

direction to the desired setting (See

Figure 6). Start

most cooking operations on a higher setting and then

turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface

element provides a constant amount of heat at each

setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending

beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the

cookware is too small for the surface heating area.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control

knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Triple Surface (expandable) Element (some

models)

The expandable element can accommodate 6 inch, 9 inch,

or 12 inch cookware. The triple element is especially useful

for canning or heating large amounts of water.

To operate the triple surface element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the triple surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob to the element size

that best fits the cookware. (See

Figure 7).

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most

cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to

a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element

provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A

glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the

bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is

too small for the surface heating area.

4. When finished cooking, turn the control knob to OFF

before removing the cookware.

Figure 6: Control knob single surface element

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The hot surface indicator

light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass

cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass

surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before the indicator light has turned

off. The message may remain on even though the

controls are turned off.

CAUTION

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Warmer Zone

Use the feature to keep cooked foods hot such as vegeta-

bles, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and

pastries at serving temperature.

Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the

warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should

be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the

cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto

To set the warmer zone control:

1. Turn the warmer zone control knob clockwise to the

desired heat setting. The warmer zone is designed to

keep foods at serving temperature.

2. When ready to serve, turn the warmer zone control

knob to the off position. The warmer zone will remain

hot until the hot surface indicator light turns off. The

warmer zone is on when the indicator light is on,

Bridge Control

On the left side of the cooktop there are two single elements

with a bridge element between them. When turned on, the

bridge control allows for a larger cooking area by cycling at

the same temperature as the left front element and can

accommodate specialized cookware.

To operate the bridge element:

1. Turn the control knob clockwise to activate the front

element and the bridge element.

2. To turn on the front element only, turn the control knob

counter-clockwise to the desired setting.

3. When the bridge element is active, it will maintain the

same heat setting as the left front element.

The warmer zone will not glow red when it is hot, but

becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing

hands on or near the warmer zone until the hot surface

indicator light is off. Always use potholders or oven mitts

when removing food from the warmer zone as cookware

and plates will be hot.

CAUTION

Oven Vent Location

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.

Type of oven racks

Flat handle racks may be used for most cooking needs

and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

Ladder Racks and Support

Important: When installing ladder racks be sure the hook

end is near the top of the oven cavity.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset

oven racks

To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the oven).

To remove - For ease of removal, racks should not be

placed in adjacent rack positions. 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.

Baking tips

• For pastries and breads, use the convection bake

function for best results when using multiple racks

(

“Convection Bake” on page 21).

• For layer cakes use the normal bake function.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using

two oven racks, place racks in positions 3 and 7

(

Figure 22) and place pans as shown in Figure 21.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between

bakeware for proper air circulation.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny

bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It

may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or

cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark

pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recom

mended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require

reducing oven temperature.

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like

cookies, biscuits, and breads.

• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that

the food is in the center of the oven.

• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will

reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase

cooking time.

To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F:

OVEN CONTROLS

Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate oven heat

continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribu

tion allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated

air flows around the food from all sides. Breads and pastry

brown more evenly.

Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature

between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.

Baking tips

• For pastries and breads, use the convection bake

function for best results when using multiple racks.

• Fully preheat the oven before cooking items like

cookies, biscuits, and breads.

• When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so that

the food is in the center of the oven.

• When using two oven racks, place in positions 2 and 7

(

Figure 23) and place bakeware as shown in Figure 24.

• When cooking with three oven racks, place racks on

positions 2, 5, and 8.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven

temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of

some foods. Shiny bakeware is recommended for

cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Glass cookware is a slow heat conductor. May require

reducing oven temperature.

• Use pans or cookware with low sides. This allows the

air to circulate around food evenly.

• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking,

reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.

• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will

reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase

cooking time.

Setting Convection Broil

Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. The

convection broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in

the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a

fan to circulate the heat continuously within the oven.

The oven can be programmed for convection broiling at any

temperature between 400°F to 550°F.

Convection broiling tips:

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2

minutes. Always pull the rack out to the stop position

before turning or removing food.

• Always use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling. It

keeps grease away from the high heat of the broil

element.

• Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover

the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could

catch fire. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn

and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

• Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional

broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum recom

mended time.

function temperature may be set at any temperature

between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Important notes:

• Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce smoke. If

smoke is excessive, place food further away from the

broil element.

• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

• For best results use a broil pan with broil pan insert

designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid

spatter and reduce smoking (

Figure 27). If a broiler pan

and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may

be purchased from frigidaire.com.

• Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before

turning or removing food.

To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of

550°F:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum

browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before

adding food.

2. Position bakeware in oven. Press Broil.

Important: Broil with the door closed. If oven door is open

for more than one minute during Broil the control will beep.

If door is not closed it will turn off Broil element after another

tion fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry.

Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, seal

ing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are

crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary

for most meats and poultry.

• Arrange oven racks so the food is on the lowest rack of

the oven.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, you can reduce

cook times as much as 25% from the recommended

time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if

needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness

is obtained.

• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time

recommendations or refer to the convection roast

recommendations for additional information.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will

prevent the meat from browning properly.

• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The

broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps

prevent grease splatters.

To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F

(177°C):

1. Place oven rack on the bottom or next to the bottom

oven rack position.

2. Place the meat on the broiler pan and insert. Make sure

the insert is securely seated on top of the broiler pan.

Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.

3. Place meat (fat side up) on insert

4. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.

5. Close the door.

6. Press the convect key twice. Roast will appear in the

display.

7. Press start.

8. When cooking is completed or to cancel convection

roast press off.

Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. Do not cover

the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the exposed

grease could ignite. Do not cover the broiler insert with

aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

* 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 temper-

ature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC)** Stuffed turkey requires addi-

tional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and drying of the skin.

Cooking with Meat Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods

such as roasts, hams, or poultry.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check

internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly

cooked food.

The probe feature, when set correctly will signal an alert

when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set

target temperature.

When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera-

ture which is visible in the display during the cooking

process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to

open the oven door to check the thermometer.

Proper placement of probe in food.

• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the

center of the thickest part of meat or food (See

Figure 30). For best results, do not allow the probe

temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the

cookware.

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the

center of lowest large muscle or joint.

• For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center

of food.

• When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor

into the thickest part of the breast (See

Figure 31).

Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or

handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the

provided handles, as shown in

Figure 29, and always use

a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

Figure 29: Using the probe

Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the

original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or

device could result in damage to the oven control, elec

tronics, and the receptacle.

Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is

removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods

completely before inserting the probe.

OVEN CONTROLS

To set probe:

1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on

the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.

2. Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the

probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The recep

tacle is located on the upper left front oven cavity wall

(See

Figure 29).

3. When the probe is set, an acceptance tone will sound,

the probe icon will illuminate, and the actual probe

temperature appears in the display (See

Figure 32).

Close the oven door.

4. Press probe key once. Enter the desired target food

temperature using the numeric keys and set tempera

ture for food type. The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC);

the maximum is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC).

5. Press start to accept the target temperature.

6. Set for quick preheat, bake, convect bake, convect

roast, or convect convert, and if necessary adjust the

oven temperature accordingly.

7. The control will provide three beeps when the internal

target temperature is reached. The oven will automati

cally change to keep warm and the actual probe

temperature will remain in the display. Keep warm will

maintain the oven temperature at 170°F (77°C) for 3

hours unless otherwise cancelled.

To stop cooking at any time, press off.

Note: To change the target temperature while cooking,

press the probe key once. Use the numeric keys to change

the temperature. Press the start key to accept any change.

Figure 32: Probe set showing probe temperature

During cooking the internal food temperature will display

by default. To see the target temperature press the probe

key once. After 6 seconds the display will revert to the

internal food temperature.

To assure accuracy, do not remove the probe from the

food or receptacle until the desired internal temperature is

reached. If the probe is removed from the receptacle only,

the probe feature will cancel but the oven will continue to

cook. If the probe is removed from the food only, the

probe feature will remain active and may eventually

generate a probe too hot message.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish

Sabbath and Holidays)

For further assistance, guidelines for

proper usage, and a complete list of

models with the Sabbath feature, please

visit the web at www.star-k.org.

This appliance provides special settings

for use when observing the Jewish Sab

bath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or

visual display changes on the oven control. Bake heating is

the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath

mode. Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s)

needed for the oven, the Bake Time, and Delay Start

options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the

Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Bake Time

option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one

audible alert at the end of Bake Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 6 hour

energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the

cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking fea

tures are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath

mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to

verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate

them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light

is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light

will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the

oven lights are turned off. The oven door will not activate

the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or

closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modification

made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two

presses of the start key. This will insure the oven remains

on even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature

outside of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is

set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to

the nearest available temperature. Try to set the desired

oven temperature again.

To program oven to Bake with default oven temperature

of 350°F and activate the Sabbath feature:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day.

2. Arrange oven racks, place bakeware in oven, and close

oven door. Press Bake.

3. Press start.

Adjusting Oven Temperatures

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to

ensure accurate baking temperatures. For the first few

uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommen

dations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or

too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so

the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature

displayed.

Important: 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°F degrees from actual temperatures.

The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F

(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory cali

brated settings.

To increase or decrease the oven temperature by 20°F:

1. Press and hold Bake until the control produces an

audible tone (about 6 seconds). The factory offset

temperature of 0

(zero) should appear in the display.

2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keypad.

3. To offset the oven by -20°F, press self clean to toggle

between + and -.

4. Press START to accept the choice.

Important note:

• Oven temperature adjustments will not change the Broil

or Self Clean function temperatures.

• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your

oven control is set to display temperatures in °C

(Celsius). Minimum and maximum settings for Celsius

range from plus (+)19°C to minus (-) 19°C.

If you choose to restore any of the options to a factory

default setting using this method, all of the above user

settings will be restored to the factory default settings.

CAUTION

OVEN CONTROLS

Self Clean

Read before starting Self Clean. Be sure to read all follow-

ing caution and important statements before starting a self

clean cycle.

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures

(well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate

soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash

you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This

function can be programmed for 2, 3, or 4 hours.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories

from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the

oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including

cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum

foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self

clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in

or around any part of the oven interior.

• 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 (

Figure 35). These

areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap

and water prior to starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven

bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting

a Self Clean 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 high sugar or acid content

(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie

fillings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a

dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material

in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door

gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door

gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an

open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during

the first Self Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the

normal odors.

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN

LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds

for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely

lock or unlock the oven door.

• When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain

locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition

to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow

about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you

will be able to open the oven door.

• Do not leave small children unattended near appli-

ance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven

can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any

part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause

permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy

heat distribution, and will met to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage

the automatic door locking system. Use caution when

opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends.

The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To

avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when

opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to

fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any

range. Move birds to a well ventilated room

• The oven bake and broil elements may appear to

have cooled after they have been turned off. These

elements may still be hot and burns may occur if

elements are touched before they have cooled.To

avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when

opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

To set a Delay Start Self Clean to begin 12 or more

hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) after the

time of setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24

Hr display mode.

• If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power

failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly

cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean

cycle.

• If the oven temperature was high enough when Self

Clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow

another Self Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

Do not force the oven door open when self-clean is

active. This can damage the automatic door-locking

system. Use caution when opening the door after self-

clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

Use caution when opening the oven door after self

cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause

burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the

oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or

steam to escape.

CAUTION

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any

heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the number of major cleaning later.

Surface Type Recommendation

Painted and plastic control knobs

Painted body parts

Painted decorative trims

Control panel

Control knobs

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of

vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a

soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray

liquids directly on the oven control and display area.

Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess water on the control

area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive

cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish.

To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off

the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the knob markings with the

matching markings on the control panel; then push the knobs into place. On the

single element knobs line up the OFF markings before replacing the knobs.

made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken

not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cooktop Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining

your ceramic glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a

ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most

hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic

surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. This will

make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The

special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish

on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the

cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.

These marks should be removed immediately after the

cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.

Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to

future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough

bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.

• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a

pan.

• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass

cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

Cooktop Cleaning

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the

cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive cloth or

sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the

cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the

soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive

cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the

pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor

blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the

surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning

cream and buff surface clean.

Figure 36: Cooktop care

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The

fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi

cally damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface

could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is

touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cooktop Maintenance (cont’d)

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content need be removed

immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop

surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop

surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After

turning the surface elements off, use a razor blade scraper

or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the

hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and

use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such

as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the

cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,

ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor

the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as

they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn

and cause discoloration.

General Cleaning

Refer to “Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven” on page 33

for more detailed information about cleaning specific parts

of the range.

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the

surface elements under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is

much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the

cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when

using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged

or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or mark the

ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the

cooktop surface.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning

products that have been specifically designed for ceramic

glass cooktops.

Figure 38: Cleaning products to avoid

IMPORTANT

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure

all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range

may be hot and can cause burns.

Using ammonia to clean an oven is not recommended.

However, if ammonia is used it must be rinsed thoroughly

before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such

as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,

causing a fire hazard

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided

with the problem listed:

Problem Solution

Poor baking results

Long preheat

• Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in

the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set tempera

ture before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended

temperature or baking time. See

“Adjusting Oven Temperatures” on page 30 if you

feel the oven is too hot or cold.

• Your oven is larger than most conventional ovens and may take a few minutes

longer to reach optimal cooking temperatures. Make sure you follow the sugges

tions at “Quick Preheat” on page 19.

Appliance is not level • Be sure floor is level, strong and stable enough to adequately support range. If floor

is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven and place a level on the oven

rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.

• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are

square and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily.

Appliance must be accessible for

service.

• Cabinets not square or are built in too tight to allow clearance for appliance.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted

over carpet.

Entire appliance does not work. • For models with a power cord, make sure power cord is plugged properly into

outlet. If electricity to home is working, check fuse box or breaker. Call your local

electric company for service outage information..

Surface element is too hot or not

hot enough.

• Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

Surface element does not heat or

does not heat evenly.

• Be sure the correct surface control knob is turned on for element needed.

• Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or

heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware

materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy and medium-weight pans

heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

Oven portion does not operate. • The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the

oven. See

“Setting the Clock” on page 17.

• Be sure oven controls are set properly. See “Oven Control Functions” on page 14

and review instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual or see

“Entire appliance does not operate” in this checklist.

Oven light does not work. • Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven Lights” on

page 37.

Flames inside oven or smoking

from oven vent.

• Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity.

Wipe up excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are

present when using Broil, see

“” on page 25.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Oven racks discolored or do not

slide easily.

• Oven racks left in oven cavity during Clean. Always remove oven racks from oven

cavity before starting a clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive cleaner

following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in

oven.

Oven smokes excessively when

broiling.

• Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls section.

• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper

clearance between the meat and element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut

remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.

• Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling

frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

Oven control panel sounds an

audible alarm and displays an

Error code.

• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Turn either oven mode or

temperature selector to the OFF position to clear the error code. Try Bake or Broil

function. If the Error code error repeats, turn OFF power to appliance, wait 5

minutes and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try Bake or

Broil function again. If fault recurs, turn oven mode and temperature selectors OFF

and call a servicer for assistance.

Soil not completely removed after

Clean

• Clean was interrupted. Review instructions in Clean section.

• Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting Clean.

• Failure to clean 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 are

not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these

areas before starting the clean cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff

nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven

gasket.

Fan noise occurring after the oven

is turned off.

• Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that runs during the cooking process

to cool internal electronic components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for

an extended period of time, even when the oven is off.

Convection fan does not rotate. • Oven door is open. Convection fan will turn off if oven door is opened when

Convection is active. Close oven door.

Clean does not work. • Oven control not set properly. Review instructions in Clean section.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop

surface.

• Coarse particles such as salt or hardened soils between cooktop and utensils can

cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before

usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with time.

• Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used.

Apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-

abrasive cloth or sponge.

• Cookware with rough bottom was used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
