is hot, do not let potholder contact hot

burner or element in oven. Use potholders

and grasp the rack with both hands to re-

position. 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. Al-

ways cook in proper cookware and always

use the oven racks.

Save these instruction for future reference

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of

ammable materials, and spillage due to

unintentional contact with the utensil, the

handle of the utensil should be positioned so

that it is turned inward, and does not extend

over adjacent surface burners

Never leave surface burners unattended at

high heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking

and greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a

pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types

of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware,

or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook

top service without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top

use.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can aect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Conditions

Attributes Recommendation

Aging cookware As pans age and become

discolored, cooking times may

need to be reduced slightly.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the

minimum cook time in the recipe or packag-

ing.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the

middle to maximum cook time in the recipe

or packaging.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is

lower.

Water boils at a lower tem-

perature, and liquids evapo-

rate faster.

Foods may take longer to

bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

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.

Problems

Recommendation

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

Recommendation

Baking

Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Setting Oven Controls” on starting on page 13.

When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the

oven.

culation.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Cooking

Recommendation

Broiling / Roasting

Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert de-

signed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smok-

ing. 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.

Quick 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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 slid-

ing the burner cap from side to side (Figure 2) 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

Figure 2: Gently move cap for proper placement

IMPORTANT

Please note that the burner cap should not move

o 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.

Gas surface burner types

The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners

with dierent BTU ratings. The ability to heat food

quickly and in large amounts increases as the burn-

er size increases.

• Small burners are best used for low-ﬂame heat-

ing 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 tem-

perature 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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 3: Testing

cookware” and “Figure 4: Proper cookware”.

Figure 3: Testing cookware

Check for ﬂatness by ro-

tating a ruler across the

bottom of the cookware

(see “Figure 3: Testing

cookware”). Cookware

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and

quickly heat is transferred from the surface ele-

ment to the pan bottom. The most popular materi-

als available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some

types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized

aluminum cookware resists staining and pit-

ting).

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discol-

ors easily (see Aluminum).

• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven

cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and

resists staining.

• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will re-

tain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking

temperature is reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating character-

istics will vary depending on base material.

• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porce-

lain-enamel coated cookware on the element.

The melting point of cookware made with these

materials may be reached quickly, especially if left

empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the

cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations for use and care of cookware.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over

two dierent surface cooking areas at the same

time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

surface control knob in and turn counterclock-

wise to the desired ﬂame size setting. Adjust

the ﬂame as needed using the knob markings.

Figure 6: Surface control knob

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, tow-

els, 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 man-

ually.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 pro-

cess. Use the recommendations below as a guide

for determining proper ﬂame size for various types

of cooking (Table 1).

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.

Flame size Type of cooking

High ﬂame Start most foods; bring water

to a boil; pan broiling

Medium ﬂame Maintain a slow boil; thicken

sauces, gravies; steaming

Low ﬂame Keep foods cooking; poaching;

stewing

These settings are based on medium-weight met-

al or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary

when using other types of pans.

Table 1: Recommended flame settings for cook-

ing

CAUTION

Never extend the ﬂame beyond the outer edge of

the cooking utensil. A higher ﬂame wastes en-

ergy, and increases your risk of being burned by

the ﬂame (Figure 2).

Figure 7: Proper burner flame

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cooking with a griddle (some models)

Figure 8: Griddle

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 dierent foods at the

same time.

After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand

wash with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thor-

oughly. 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 medi-

um to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures

even heat distribution during the cooking process.

DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheat-

ing 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 Agri-

culture) Web site and be sure to read all the infor-

mation 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 cen-

ter 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 can-

ners 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 setting when ﬁrst bringing

the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,

reduce heat to lowest possible setting to main-

tain that boil.

• Use tested recipes and follow instructions care-

fully. Check with your local Cooperative Agri-

cultural 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

Types of Oven Rack

Figure 9: Oven vent

• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking

needs and may be placed in most oven rack

positions.

at

oven rack

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 un-

til 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 us-

ing.

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 o

the openings with aluminium foil or any other material.

Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This

is normal.

Figure 10: Oven rack types

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.

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. Improp-

er installation of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock or ﬁre. During self clean, tempera-

tures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Quick Bake

Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This

improved heat distribution allows for fast, even

cooking and browning results. Meats cooked with

Quick Bake are crisp on the outside while staying

tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry

brown more evenly. Most foods can be cooked fast-

er and more evenly with Quick Bake.

The oven may be programmed to Quick Bake at

any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to

288°C). The factory preset Quick Bake temperature

is 350°F (177°C).

Benefits of the Quick Bake feature:

• Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving

time and energy.

• Multiple rack baking.

Baking Tips

• For optimum cooking results it is recommend-

ed to preheat the oven when baking foods such

as cookies, biscuits and breads.

• 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.

• When using 2 oven racks place racks in posi-

tions 3 and 5 and position cookware as shown

in Figure 12.

• For single rack baking use rack position 4.

Roasting Tips

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting

foods using Quick Bake. Do not cover foods

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jew-

ish Sabbath and Holidays (some models)

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 set-

tings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/

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 tempera-

ture and, if needed, Bake Time. 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.

Important: 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 features are can-

celled 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 o and the oven lights

are turned o. 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

press the up or down arrow key.

The temperature will increase or decrease with

each press by 5°F or 1°C and the change will be

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Self Clean

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 nor-

mal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and con-

traction 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 appli-

ance.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to

the fumes given o during the self cleaning cycle

of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilat-

ed room.

Do not force the oven door open. This can dam-

age 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

17). The woven material of the oven door gas-

ket 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 uten-

sils, 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 re-

moved 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, sauer-

kraut, 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 bot-

tom. These areas heat suciently to burn soil

on. Clean with soap and water. These areas

are shown in white.

4. 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 can-

celled and the oven temperature has cooled.

When the self clean cycle has completed:

1. The time of day will appear in the display win-

dow, 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 open-

ing 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):

powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature oers a chemical free and

time saving method to assist in the routine clean-

ing of small and light soils.

Figure 18: Add 1 cup of tap watter to bottom of

oven

Figure 19: Clean around the oven door gasket

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 o 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 19) Close oven door.

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 dicult

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 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 vine-

gar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.

4. Press steam clean.

5. Press

or to activate. St Cn will ap-

pear in the display.

6. The oven will start automatically and the dis-

play will show the time remaining in the Steam

Clean cycle. 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 the

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 18). Avoid leaning or

resting on the oven door glass while cleaning

cavity.
