COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can a ect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.
Condition 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 fi x a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Result 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.
Situation Recommendation
Baking
Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Setting Oven Controls” on page 21.
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” on page 26.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Material 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.
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.

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-fl ame 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 fl ame size
appropriately for the pan. Never allow fl ames to
extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will infl uence
the heat setting needed for best cooking results.
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing
cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Check for fl atness by ro-
tating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see “Figure 2: Testing
cookware”). Cookware
should have fl at bot-
toms that make good
contact with the entire
surface of the heating
element.
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
element by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Pan is much smaller
than the element.
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 charac-
teristics 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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates fl at-side
down and align them into the cooktop recess..
IMPORTANT
Make sure the burner grates are proper-
ly 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 fl ush 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.

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 Ag-
riculture) website 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 fl at 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 fl at. Use a
straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch (25mm) beyond the surface ele-
ment 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 fi rst 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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large vol-
umes increases as the burner size increases. Your
gas appliance may be equipped with many di er-
ent 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 fl ame 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-fl ame heat-
ing of small amounts of food.
Large burners are best for bringing large quan-
tities 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 burners surface control knob in and
turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position
(Figure 1).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to
the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the
burner has a steady gas fl ame.
4. Once the surface burner has a fl ame, push the
surface control knob in and turn counterclock-
wise to the desired fl ame size setting. Adjust
the fl ame as needed using the knob markings.
Figure 5: Surface control knob
CAUTION
Do not place fl ammable 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 fi re if placed
too close to the surface burners.
NOTES
When setting a surface control knob to the
lite position, all of the electronic surface ignit-
ors 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 burn-
er 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
ame setting. Use caution when lighting sur-
face burners manually.
Set proper burner fl ame size
The color of the fl ame is the key to proper burner
adjustment. A good fl ame is clear, blue and hardly
visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of fl ame
should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the
burner if fl ame 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 fl ame 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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Flame size Type of cooking
High fl ame Start most foods; bring water
to a boil; pan broiling
Medium fl ame Maintain a slow boil; thicken
sauces, gravies; steaming
Low fl ame 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 fl ame settings for cook-
ing
CAUTION
Never extend the fl ame beyond the outer edge of
the cooking utensil. A higher fl ame wastes en-
ergy, and increases your risk of being burned by
the fl ame (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Proper burner fl ame
Cooking with a griddle (some models)
Figure 6: Griddle
The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect
for cooking foods that require large fl at 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.

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 o
the openings with aluminium foil or any other material.
Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This
is normal.
Figure 8: Oven vent
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 fi nish.
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 fi re. During self clean, tempera-
tures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

Bake cooks with heat that rises from the oven
bottom. The heat and air circulate naturally in the
oven. A reminder tone will sound indicating when
the set bake temperature is reached and to place
the food in the oven. The convection fan will turn
on in preheat and then cycle on and o as needed
during baking.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature be-
tween 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C)
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

racks, and cooktop will become very hot which
can cause burns.
Baking tips
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like
cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
Use the convection bake function for best re-
sults when baking cookies on multiple racks.
Bake is the best function to use for baking
cakes.
For best results when baking layer cakes using
two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 5
and place pans as shown.
When using any single rack for baking cookies,
cakes, biscuits, or mu ns use rack position 3.
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat
than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over-
browned foods. It may be necessary to reduce
oven temperature or cook time to prevent over-
browning of some foods.
Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny
pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and
mu ns.
Do not open oven door often. Opening the
door will reduce the temperature in the oven
and may increase cook time.
Do not leave oven light on while baking.
IMPORTANT

No Preheat
No Preheat is available for single rack baking with
packaged and convenience foods and can be used
with regular recipes also. No Preheat may be used
with temperatures between 170°F and 550°F.
Follow the recipe or package directions for food
preparation time and temperature.
During No Preheat function, the oven elements will
cycle on and o . The convection fan will turn on
and stay on until No Preheat is canceled. Depend-
ing on your preference for doneness cooking times
may vary. Watch food closely.
Important:
Always place food on rack position 3.
Place the food with the pan or bakeware to the
front of the oven rack.
When using No Preheat, use bakeware with
low or no sides. This allows the air to circulate
around the food evenly.
Leave oven light o when baking.
Food that comes in strips, such as fi sh sticks
and chicken tenders, should be placed on the
pan with the ends pointing to the sides of the
oven. Follow the package directions for food
preparation time and temperature.
Food may need to be removed early and
should be checked at minimum recommended
cook time.
No Preheat works best when cooking foods
longer than 10 minutes. If directions call for a
shorter cooking time, a few extra minutes may
be required for optimal cooking results.
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the
door will reduce the temperature in the oven
and may increase cook time.
Leave oven lights o while cooking.
To set the no preheat temperature for 350°F:
1. Arrange the interior oven racks.
2. Press No Preheat.
3. Set temperature or use 350°F (default).
4. Press START.
5. Set Cook Time if needed.
6. Press START.
NOTE: If a cook time is set the oven will turn o
automatically when the time expires. Foods
with a cook time under 10 minutes may need
extra time.
7. When cooking has ended, End will be in display.
8. Press OFF to return display to show the time of

Air Sous Vide
Air Sous Vide is ideal for cooking meats to achieve
tenderness without overcooking.
How Sous Vide Works
Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacu-
um”. In sous vide cooking, food is vacuum-sealed in
plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking
medium of hot water or air.
Your appliance uses hot air circulating around
sealed pouches to cook food slowly at relatively
low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C).
Sous vide cooking is not fast, but with a little plan-
ning, it can be very easy.
Advantages of Sous Vide
Food does not lose fl avor or aroma due to
evaporation.
Vitamins and minerals do not escape during
cooking.
The low cooking temperature leaves meat and
sh more tender.
Less spice is needed, as food keeps more of its
natural fl avor.
The low cooking temperature greatly reduces
the risk of overcooking. The food never gets
hotter than the intended serving temperature.
Timing is less critical. If di erent dishes are fi n-
ishing at di erent times, food that has reached
serving temperature can wait, since it stays at
serving temperature in the cooking medium.
Food Safety
Because sous vide cooks at relatively low tempera-
tures, safe food handling is especially important.:
• Always keep raw food in safe conditions before
you start cooking.
Clean the raw food before you start cooking.
Use Table 1, “Recommended Sous Vide Cook
Settings,” to fi nd the recommended cooking
time and temperature for the food.
Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) to
cook foods that can be safely eaten raw.
Food should be between 34°F and 37°F (nor-
mal refrigerator temperatures) when preparing
to place food in sous vide vacuum pouch.
Sous vide dishes are best served immediately
after cooking. If food is not served immediately,
use an ice bath to chill it quickly and then keep
it refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Do not use sous vide to reheat leftovers.
Do not allow raw food to contact cooked food
during preparation. Do not use the same tools
on di erent food items without washing them.
If the recipe includes raw eggs, keep the whites
and yolks from touching the outsides of the
shells.
Blanching in boiling water or searing in a pan
before sous vide cooking can destroy surface
bacteria to improve food safety.
Do not use Delay Start with the Sous Vide func-
tion.
Do not use a meat probe with the Sous Vide
function. Food needs to be sealed air-tight in a
pouch for sous vide cooking.
background

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Vacuum Sealing
Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum
sealer and vacuum pouches. The pouch needs to
be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch
that leaks will produce poor cooking results and
may produce smoke and residue that can burn
during future cooking or when using self-clean.
Follow the instructions that come with your sealer
and pouches.
Use pouches that are specifi ed for your sealer
and for sous vide cooking.
Do not reuse vacuum pouches.
Put food in one layer in the pouch for even
cooking.
It is recommended to use one food portion per
vacuum pouch.
For most sous vide cooking, use the highest
vacuum setting for best cooking results.
Make sure that the closure of the pouch is clean
to get a good seal. If cooking at higher tem-
peratures (above 160º F / 71º C), double-seal
the pouch.
Vacuum pouches are solely for sous vide cook-
ing and should not be used for regular baking
or broiling.
Sous Vide Cooking
1. Prepare
Start with the freshest, highest quality food
possible.
Clean and cut the ingredients.
2. Package
Place the ingredients in the plastic pouch
for your vacuum sealer. Add seasonings for
cooking.
Note: If cooking multiple items at once,
you may want to write the contents on the
outside of the pouches before fi lling and
sealing them.
Vacuum seal the pouch, removing as
much air as possible. Verify that you have
achieved an air-tight seal.
If not cooking immediately, store the pouch
in a refrigerator until ready to cook.
To cook Air Sous Vide:
1. Press
until “SouS” appears in the display.
2. Press START.
3. Use number keys to set desired temperature.
IMPORTANT: Since sous vide cooking allows
for a suggested minimum cooking time and a
target time, it is recommended to set the timer
to at least the minimum time or to any time up
to the target suggested time. With sous vide
cooking, there is a maximum cooking time
which allows the user more fl exibility when
cooking with no specifi c end time.
Note: Use the settings recommended for the
type of food in Table 4 on page 37.
4. Press START.
5. Finish
Open the plastic pouch and remove the
food.
You may fi nish the food with a fi nal searing
or grilling to achieve a nice crust and roast
avor.
• Add nal seasonings or sauces if needed.
• Serve.
IMPORTANT
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) The lowest
temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F
(63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medi-
um 160°F, well done 170°F (77°C). Visit the USDA
Food Safety and Inspection website at www.fsis.
usda.gov.
CAUTION
Even though sous vide cooks at relatively low
temperatures, use care when handling the pouch
and its contents, which will be hot to the touch.
Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) for
cooking foods that can be safely eaten raw.

Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan and elements to rapidly roast meats
and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat
from all sides, sealing in juices and fl avors. Meats
cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on
the outside while staying moist inside.
To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F
(177°C):
1. Press Conv Roast.
2. Set the desired temperature using the number
keys or use default of 350°.
3. Press START.
4. Set Cook Time if desired.
5. Press START. Preheating the oven is not neces-
sary.
6. When cooking is completed or to cancel Con-
vection Roast press OFF.
WARNING
Should an oven fi re occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven o . If the fi re continues, use a
re extinguisher. Do not put water or fl our on the
re. Flour may be explosive and water can cause
a grease fi re to spread and cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which
can cause burns.

4. Press START.
Slow Cook
Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at
low temperature for a long period of time.
For best results when using Slow Cook:
Completely thaw all frozen foods before cook-
ing.
When using a single oven rack, place in oven
rack position 2 or 3. Position racks to accom-
modate the size of various bakeware when
cooking multiple food items.
Do not open the oven door often or leave the
door open when checking foods. If the oven
heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may
need to be extended.
Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or
vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp
or brown.
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can
occur. Cook times will vary depending on the
weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the
roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary
when using the Slow Cook feature.
Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last
hour.
Slow cooking meats may result in the outside of
the meat turning dark; this is normal.

um rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC)** Stu ed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield
legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and drying of the skin.
Convection Roasting tips:
Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the rec-
ommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until
the desired doneness is obtained.
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.

Cooking with Steam
Note: More moisture will be present than during
conventional baking or roasting. Moisture could
condense on the handle or in the door, and de-
pending on the conditions in your kitchen possibly
drip onto the fl oor.
Steam Cooking Tips:
Oven Positioning
• Use at rack in the position in the oven for
most foods for Steam Roast.
Lowest position for poultry.
Preparing
• Use 2-
1
/
2
cups of water for steam bake and
steam roast. If steam functions are frequently
used, use distilled water.
Using water container, pour water slowly onto
the bottom of oven cavity while still cool.
Never add water if the oven is warm.
Never add water during a Steam Bake or Steam
Roast cycle.
While in Use
When using Steam, follow the recipe for pre-
heating, cook time, and cook temperature. If
the original recipe did not use steam, reduce
the temperature by 25°F (14°C), but not below
325°F (163°C).
Always start with a cold oven.
Preheating is not necessary when using steam
roast.
Cleaning
With a paper towel lightly soaked in distilled
white vinegar, wipe out bottom of oven cavity
after the oven is cooled or before each use.
Use the self clean function to clean heavily
soiled areas.
If residue remains after self clean, pour a thin
layer of distilled white vinegar onto the bottom
of the oven cavity. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
Wipe out vinegar.
Steam Bake
Steam creates the best conditions for baking bread
on a single rack. Baked goods will have improved
browning and texture and is recommended for
baking moist and fl avorful breads and pastries such
as baguettes and croissants.
Use fl at rack in position 3 for best results for Steam
Bake. Pans should be pulled to the front of the
rack.
To set Steam Bake:
1. Press Steam Bake.
2. Add 2-
1
/
2
cups of water to oven bottom as di-
rected.
3. Set the desired temperature using the number
keys or use default of 350°.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Cooking with Food Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cook-
ing foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry.
The Food Probe works with the following oven
modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air Fry, Convection
Roast, Steam Roast, and Turkey.
The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an
alert when the internal food temperature reaches
the desired set target temperature. The probe set-
tings for how the oven behaves should be set fi rst
in the oven menu.
When active, the probe displays the internal food
temperature 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.
For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to
check internal temperature is the safest method to
ensure properly cooked food.
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. For
best results, do not allow the probe temperature
sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cook-
ware.
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 fi sh, insert meat probe just
above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the
probe sensor into the thickest part of the
breast.
CAUTION
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
and always use a pot holder to protect hands
from possible burns.

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the
Jewish 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 au-
dible tones or visual display changes on the oven
control. Bake is the only cooking feature available
while in the Sabbath mode. Most oven controls are
locked during Sabbath mode.
To start Sabbath Mode, fi rst select Sabbath from
the settings menu. Next, select Delay (if desired),
Bake temperature, and cook time (if desired) and
set. Cooking will begin after any specifi ed delay.
If cook time was set, once the time has elapsed, the
cooking will end and the display will show Idle to
indicate that the cook time has ended.
Important: The Sabbath mode will override the
factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the
appliance will stay on until the cooking features are
canceled. If cooking is canceled when the appli-
ance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual
indicators will be available to verify the cancella-
tion.
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
modifi cation made within an active Sabbath mode
press the + or - key.
The temperature will increase or decrease with
each press by 5°F or 1°C and the change will be
accepted automatically.
Important:
Do not attempt to activate any other oven
function except Bake while the Sabbath feature
is active. When the Sabbath feature is active,
only the number keys and OFF will function.
ALL OTHER KEYS should not be used once the
Sabbath feature is active.
You may change the oven temperature once
baking has started. Use the number keys and
START to raise or lower the oven temperature.
Remember that the oven control will no longer
provide audible tones or display any further
changes when the Sabbath feature is active.
The oven will shut-o automatically after
completing a bake time and therefore may

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. For heavier baked on
soils use the Self Clean feature.
Figure 12: Add 1 cup of tap water
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. Press until “Cln” appears in the display.
4. Press START.
5. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom
(Figure 12). Close oven door.
6. Press START. The time left for the Steam Clean
cycle is shown in the display. Do not open the
door during this time. If door is left 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 o to return to the clock.
8. Take care opening the door when the steam
clean is fi nished. 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. 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 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.
Steam clean cannot be programmed with a
delayed start time.
If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a
Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 47.
CAUTION
Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or
any other abrasive household cleaners to the wa-
ter 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.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Self Clean
Self Clean cleans with very high temperatures (well
above normal cooking temperatures), eliminat-
ing soils completely or reducing them to very fi ne
powdered ashes you can wipe away afterwards
with a damp cloth.
The clean cycle lasts for 2-4 hours.
Before starting self clean read all following caution
and important statements before starting a self
clean cycle
CAUTION
Do not leave small children unattended near
appliance. 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
melt to the oven interior.
Do not force the oven door open. This will dam-
age 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 o during the self clean cycle of
any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.
Important notes:
Completely remove all oven racks and any ac-
cessories 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 tem-
peratures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protec-
tive 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. These areas heat su ciently 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 fi re 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 fi llings) 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, dam-
age, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage to the door gasket and
compromise the performance of the oven.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
The kitchen area should be well ventilated using
an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust
hood during the fi rst 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 fl ashing.
Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door
latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock
the oven door.
When the clean time fi nishes, the oven door will
remain locked until the range has cooled suf-
ciently. 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.

2. Use the number keys to adjust the cleaning
time. Press START to activate self clean.
3. The RACKS warning will end and Self Clean will
start. The motor door lock will begin locking
the oven door. Do not open the oven door while
the lock motor is running or when any locking
indicators or displays are showing. The oven
door is completely locked in about 15 seconds.
Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will
appear in the display indicating self clean
has started.
Do not force the oven door open when self-
clean is active. This can damage the auto-
matic door-locking system.
Use caution when opening the door after
self-clean cycle is complete; the oven may
still be very hot.
4. When self clean is fi nished: CLEAN message
will turn o , and Hot will appear in display win-
dow.
5. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour)
and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door
may be opened.
CAUTION: 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 steam and air to escape.
When the oven interior has completely cooled,
wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in
order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the
application needs must be made by an authorized
qualifi ed Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to
avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head
ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition
and an uneven fl ame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:
If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or con-
toured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent
cloth.
Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To clean burner heads:
1. Remove the burner cap and the burner head
(see Figure 15). Clean with hot soapy water and
dry thoroughly
2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy
water to the burner head. Allow time for the

CARE AND CLEANING
General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter
for more information about cleaning specifi c parts
of the oven.
Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to
clean using oven cleaners.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven over-
night or for several hours with the oven door
closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot,
soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean
cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad
or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an
oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well
using clean water and a cloth.
Follow these cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appli-
ance manually.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such
as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
lling) to remain on the surface as they may cause
a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers
and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular
cleaning will reduce the e ort required for major
cleaning later.
CAUTION
Before manually 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.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven

CARE AND CLEANING
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and
Oven Liners
WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks
air fl ow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
trap heat, causing a fi re hazard.
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven
can melt these materials to the oven cavity and
ruin the oven. These types of materials can also
reduce the e ectiveness of the air circulation in
the oven and produce poor baking results. Only
use aluminum foil as recommended in this man-
ual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fi re.
Aluminum utensils - The melting point of alu-
minum is much lower than that of other metals.
Care must be taken when aluminum pots or
pans are used.
Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover
the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven re-
stricts the heat and air fl ow needed to obtain
the best possible cooking results for any oven.
Replacing the Oven Light
CAUTION
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are
cool before replacing the oven light.
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the
oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The
glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is
in use.
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power o at the main source or
unplug the appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a
quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25
watt appliance bulb.
NOTE
Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when
installing a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb
with your fi ngers when replacing. This will short-
en the life of the bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating
clockwise.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source
(or plug the appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self
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 self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on
residue can be cleaned with a sti nylon brush and water or a nylon scrub-
ber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
The oven control display
shows "SPr" and self-clean
is not working.
The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean cycle. On some models,
turning on any cooktop surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel.
If the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display will show “SPr" for 5
seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down
below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the
user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning
temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door un-
locks (up to 4 hours).
