2. COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

2.1 Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers

heat from the pan to the food.

ENGLISH 5

Material Attributes Recommendation

Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware is the best for even

heating. It is suitable for all baked goods.

Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shi‐

ny metal bakeware.

Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware. Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F / 13-14°C when you use

a dark bakeware.

Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.

Glass is convenient, you can use the same piece of bakeware for

cooking, serving, and storing food.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F / 13-14°C when you use

a glass bakeware.

Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware.

Insulated bakeware is designed for baking in gas oven.

When you use insulated bakeware, the recipe baking time may be

longer than usual.

2.2 Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance

when cooking food.

Condition Attributes Recommendation

Aging cookware As pans age and become discolored, you may need to slightly

reduce a cooking time.

If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the rec‐

ipe or packaging.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook

time recommended in the recipe or on the packaging.

High altitude Air is drier and air pressure is lower.

Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.

Foods may take longer to bake.

Doughs may rise faster.

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 the amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce

rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.

2.3 Cooking Results

Small adjustments may help you achieve the best results.

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.

2.4 Cooking Tips

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

Situation Recommendation

Baking

Rack placement Refer to Setting Oven Controls.

Preheat Insert food immediately after the beep.

Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.

Checking food Use the window and oven light when you check the 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, refer to Setting Oven

Controls.

Steam Bake For directions, tips, and benefits, refer to Setting Oven Controls.

Food placement Allow at least 2 inches / 5 cm of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Broiling / Roasting

Broiling pan If the accessory is not included with your appliance, you can purchase it on the website www.frigidaire.com.

For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with an insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter,

and reduce smoke. The broiler pan catches grease spills, and insert helps prevent grease splatters.

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 you use multiple racks or cook 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 result.

3. BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

3.1 About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

WARNING!

Refer to Care and Cleaning.

The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass

surface. The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the

surface elements underneath. Always match the pan size with the

diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Use only flat-bottomed

cookware.

Before 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. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel.

It makes cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning

creams leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches

and abrasions.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use,

and their settings affect the amount of heat that spreads to areas

beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may

become hot enough to cause burns.

3.2 Induction Cooktop Features

Refer to Safety chapters.

Induction offers several advantages:

• Cooler Cooktop - regardless of whether the Induction Cooktop is

turned on or not, the surface remains cooler than ceramic cooktops.

• Cleaner Cooking - spills do not cook or stick to the surface,

because induction works by heating the cookware and not the

cooktop.

• Magnetic Detector - the coil sensor automatically detects whether

the pan is magnetic and prevents from accidental activation.

• Pan Size Detection - the pan recognition sensor automatically

detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.

• Energy Efficiency - induction cooking heats cookware faster while

using less energy.

• Fast Heating - cookware heats up faster than on a ceramic

cooktop. You may need to use a lower setting for cooking food than

you are used to.

• Even Heating - cookware heats more evenly than on a ceramic

cooktop, so you are less likely to have hot or cool spots in the

cookware.

Before Using Your Cooktop

Before 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. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel.

Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass that will

make cleaning easier when the cooktop is soiled from cooking and help

prevent scratches and abrasions.

CAUTION!

The Cooking Zones do not directly generate heat, but the glass

surface may become hot from contact with hot cookware. There is

a risk of burns! Do not touch the Cooking Zone or the surrounding

area until it is cooled to a safe temperature.

3.3 Sounds

The magnetic field over the induction Cooking Zone may cause

cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing or humming noise. These

sounds are not unusual, especially at high settings.

You may hear sounds when:

• The bottom of the cookware is not perfectly flat and may vibrate

slightly against the cooktop.

• The pan or cookware handle is loose and may vibrate in its socket.

• Cookware is multi-material which may allow small vibrations in its

structure.

Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher quality cookware.

An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking sounds from the

electronic switches that maintain the desired cooking temperature. You

may also hear a fan that cools the electronics inside the cooktop.



NOTE

Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction cooktop cleaning

in the “Care and Cleaning” section and “Troubleshooting” section

of this User Manual.

3.4 Correct Cookware Type

Induction cooking heats the cookware by generating an

electromagnetic field using a coil placed under the cooking zone.

Use a suitable cookware, made of or containing a ferromagnetic metal.

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer

bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:

• it has induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the

cookware.

• water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.

• a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

Cookware recommendations:

• Use cookware with a flat bottom, so they make full contact with the

entire surface of the cooking zone. Check if the bottom is flat by

rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat

distribution allowing for more even cooking results.

• The cookware size should be appropriate for the amount of food

being cooked.

• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Use only cookware with

clean and dry bottom.

• Do not let the cookware boil dry. This may cause damage to the

cookware and ceramic cooktop. This type of damage is not covered

by the warranty.

CAUTION!

Do not slide the cookware across the cooktop surface. This may

scratch the ceramic surface and permanently damage your

appliance.

CAUTION!

Do not touch hot cookware with bare hands. There is a risk of

burns! Always use oven gloves or pot holders.

3.5 Pan Sensing

When the cooktop is active, cookware placement is auto-detected by

the Cooking Zones. The corresponding control illuminates, indicating

the control section for the active zone.

If you remove a pan from an active cooking zone, the zone will turn off

after 30 seconds.

If the cooktop does not detect cookware in any zone for 30 seconds,

the whole cooktop will turn off.

Table below shows pan sensing conditions that may prevent pan

detection.

Correct Incorrect

Cookware base material has good mag‐

netic characteristics.

Cookware base material is non-magnetic.

Cookware centered correctly on cooking

zone.

Cookware not centered on cooking zone.

Flat pan bottom and straight sides. Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.

ENGLISH 7

Correct Incorrect

Pan rests completely and is level on the

cooktop surface.

Pan bottom rests on cooktop edge.

Pan is properly balanced. Heavy handle tilts pan.

3.6 Minimum and Maximum Pan Size

The cooktop graphics are guides to pan size for each Cooking Zone.

For best results, use cookware that matches the size of the Cooking

Zone.

Cookware that is too small for a zone may not activate the cookware

detection sensor. Cookware that is much larger than a cooking zone

will cook slower and uneven.

If your cookware is not a perfect match, it is best to use a zone a little

smaller than the bottom of the cookware.

3.7 Using the Cooking Zones

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using the Cooking Zones:

• Place the cookware in the center of the Cooking Zone.

• Use cookware with flat bottom and straight sides.

• Be sure the cookware size meets or exceeds the size of the

Cooking Zone by a maximum 1/2 inch (13 mm).

• The bottom of the cookware should completely adhere to the

Cooking Zone surface.



NOTE

If the cookware does not meet one or more of the above

conditions, the power level flashes and the Cooking Zone does not

heat up. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop

again.

3.8 Hot Surface Indicator

When a Cooking Zone is turned off, it may still be hot due to contact

with hot cookware. The Hot Surface Indicator will come on and remain

visible until the cooking zone cools to a safe temperature.

CAUTION!

The Cooking Zones do not directly generate heat, but the glass

surface may become hot from contact with hot cookware. There is

a risk of burns! Do not touch the Cooking Zone or the surrounding

area until it is cooled to a safe temperature.

CAUTION!

Do not place aluminum foil, plastic items or any material that can

melt on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt

or ignite and cause permanent damage to the cooktop. Potholders,

towels or wooden spoons may catch fire if placed too close to the

Cooking Zones.

CAUTION!

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Improper

installation of cooktop liners may result in risk of electric shock or

fire. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage it.

3.9 Lock or Unlock the Cooktop

The control can be programmed to lockout the cooktop control keys.

To activate the lockout feature:

1. Press and hold the key for 3 seconds.

2. Once the controls are locked, will appear on the display.

To cancel the lockout feature:

1. Press and hold the key for 3 seconds.

2. When the lock icon no longer displays, the cooktop control keypad

is available for use.



NOTE

If you press any key when the oven lockout is active, the control

will triple beep, indicating the action is not possible.

3.10 Moving Cookware on a Smooth Cooktop

Lift the cookware before moving it on the ceramic glass cooktop.

Cookware that has a rough or dirty bottom can mark and scratch the

ceramic glass surface.



NOTE

Always start with clean cookware.

CAUTION!

Move cookware carefully on the cooktop.

3.11 Power Management

The induction cooktop is equipped with 2 generators and 4 cooking

zones, depending on a model. Each generator powers 2 cooking

zones. If you use more than one cooking zone on high power at the

same time and they share the same generator, the cooktop may need

to manage power between two cooking zones.

Power management for 4 cooking zones



NOTE

To get the best performance of the cooking zones, start cooking on

a single cooking zone and once the initial cookware reaches the

desired cooking temperature, proceed to use the second cooking

zone.

3.12 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 available as well as follow recommendations for home

canning procedures.

Canning recommendations:

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate

from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more

evenly when the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to check

canner bottom.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch

beyond the surface element markings or burner.

• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil

and ceramic glass cooktops, and to center canners on the burner

grates.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat setting 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.

5. BEFORE USING THE OVEN

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Oven Vent Location

The oven air vents are located in the rear side of the cooktop. 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.

Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

IMPORTANT

Do not block oven vent or cover the openings with aluminium foil or

any other material.

WARNING!

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil (or any other

material) or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other

part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce

poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the

oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven

will be hot enough to melt foil.

CAUTION!

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When

cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop

will become very hot which can cause burns.

Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven

racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide

ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks

will lose their shiny finish.

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close

the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back

inside the oven cavity.

5.2 Types of Oven Rack

Flat Oven Rack

Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be

placed in most oven rack positions.

IMPORTANT

Before using the accessories, remove and clean them according to

the instructions in the chapter: "Care and Cleaning".

5.3 Removing and Arranging Oven Racks

IMPORTANT

6.18 SousVide Tips

Sous Vide is ideal for cooking meats to achieve tenderness without

overcooking.

How Sous Vide Works:

Sous Vide is a French term meaning "under vacuum". It involves

vacuum-sealing food in plastic pouches and then cooking it using hot

water or air. The 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).

Benefits of Sous Vide:

• Food does not lose flavor or aroma due to evaporation.

• Vitamins and minerals do not escape during cooking.

• The low cooking temperature leaves meat and fish more tender.

• Less spice is needed, as food keeps more of its natural flavor.

• 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 different dishes are finishing at different

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 temperatures, 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 Sous Vide Table below to find the recommended cooking time

and temperature for the food.

• Food should be between 34°F and 37°F (normal 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 different 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 function.

• 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.

6.19 Vacuum Sealing for Sous Vide

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 specified 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 temperatures (above 160°F / 71°C), double-seal

the pouch.

• Vacuum pouches are solely for Sous Vide cooking and should not

be used for regular baking or broiling.

6.20 Sous Vide Cooking



NOTE

If cooking multiple items at once, you may want to write the

contents on the outside of the pouches before filling and sealing

them.

1. Prepare the food and cut all of the ingredients.

2. Place the ingredients in the plastic pouch for your vacuum sealer.

Add seasonings for cooking.

3. Vacuum seal the pouch, ensuring all air is removed and the seal is

air-tight. If not cooking immediately, store the pouch in a

refrigerator until it is ready to cook.

ENGLISH 15

Setting Sous Vide

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 flexibility when cooking with no specific

end time.



NOTE

Use the settings recommended for the type of food in Sous Vide

table.

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.

To set Sous Vide:

1. Press until "SouS" appears on the display.

2. Press START. Use number keys to set desired temperature. Press

START again.

3. Open the plastic pouch, remove the food, finish with a final searing

or grilling for a nice crust and roast flavor, add final seasonings or

sauces if needed, and serve.

4. To cancel cooking at anytime press OFF.

6.21 Slow Cook

Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook at low temperature for a long

period of time.

For best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3.

Position racks to accommodate 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 the food to keep it moist.

• 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.

To set Slow Cook:

1. Press until "SloC" appears on the display.

2. Press START.

3. Press to choose level 1, 2 or 3.

4. Press START.

6.22 Setting Conv Roast

Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and

elements to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Hot air circulates around

the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked

with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying

moist inside.

WARNING!

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven

off . If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water

or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a

grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

CAUTION!

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When

cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior and oven racks will

become very hot which can cause burns.

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°F.

3. Press START.

4. Set Cook Time, if desired.

5. Press START. Preheating the oven is not necessary.

6. When cooking is completed or to cancel Convection Roast at any

time, press OFF.

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 recommended 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.

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) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F

(77ºC).

Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and drying of the skin.

6.23 Cooking with Steam Tips



NOTE

More moisture presents than during conventional baking or

roasting. Moisture could condense on the handle or in the door.

Depending on the conditions in your kitchen, it may drip onto the

floor.

Oven Positioning

• Use the flat rack in the correct position in the oven for most foods

when using Steam Roast.

• Lowest position for poultry.

Preparing

• Use 2.5 cups of water for Steam Bake and Steam Roast. If you

frequently use steam functions, use distilled water.

• Using a water container, pour water slowly onto the bottom of the

oven cavity while it is 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 preheating, cook time, and

cook temperature. If the original recipe did not use steam, reduce

the temperature by 25 °F (14°C), but not below 215°F (101°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

the bottom of the oven cavity after the oven cools 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 it to sit for 30

minutes. Wipe out the vinegar.

Setting Steam Bake

Steam creates the best conditions for baking bread on a single rack.

Baked goods have improved browning and texture. Steam is

recommended for baking moist and flavorful breads and pastries such

as baguettes and croissants.

Use the flat rack in position 3 for the best results with Steam Bake.

Pans should be pulled to the front of the rack.

To set the function:

CAUTION!

Do not set Steam Bake or Steam Roast for cooking at

temperatures below 215°F (102°C).

IMPORTANT

Stand to the side of the oven when opening it to allow any steam to

escape.

6.24 Cooking with Food Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as

roasts, hams, or poultry.

The Food Probe works with the following functions: Bake, Convection

Bake, Air Fry, Convection Roast, and Steam Roast.

The probe function, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the

internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature.

The probe settings for how the oven behaves should be set first in the

settings 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.

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:

CAUTION!

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

Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles

and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

ENGLISH 17

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 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.

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 Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible 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 set Sabbath Mode:

1. Select a cooking function, such as Bake, and set the temperature.

2. Set a Cook Time if desired and press START.

3. Press both Conv Bake and Conv Roast at the same time.

4. When Cook Time ends oven turns off automatically. "SAb" will

appear on the display.

5. Press both Conv Bake and Conv Roast at the same time to exit

Sabbath mode and show the time of day.

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 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 use the number keys and press START. The

change will be accepted automatically.

WARNING!

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour

before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or

sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat

or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when

chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour

before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when

finished cooking.

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-off automatically after completing a bake time

and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish

Holidays.

6.30 Steam Clean

The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time saving

method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and light soils. For

heavier baked on soils use the Self Clean feature.

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.

CAUTION!

Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other abrasive

household cleaners to the water used for Steam Clean.

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are

turned off and the oven is cool. There is a risk of burns!

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 on the display.

4. Press START.

5. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom. Close oven door.

6. Press START. The time left for the Steam Clean cycle is shown on

the display. Do not open the door during this time. If door is open

while in Steam Clean, "d-O" will appear on the display after a few

minutes.

7. When the Steam Clean cycle is complete, an alert will sound, and

the "End" message will show on the display. Press "oFF" to return

to the clock.

8. Carefully open the door when the Steam Clean is finished. Stand to

the side of the oven, hot air will come out from inside the oven.

9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket.

Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning the

cavity.

Notes:

• Opening the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle prevents the

water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.

• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete.

Steam Clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.

• A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic

scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used

for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.

• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water

that may spill 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 them dry.

• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard

water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and

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

• Steam Clean cannot be programmed with a Delay Start feature.

• If the Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean

feature.

6.31 Self Clean

This function cleans the oven interior with very high temperatures (well

above normal cooking temperatures), eliminating soils completely or

reducing them to very fine powdered ashes you can wipe away

afterwards with a damp cloth.

A self clean cycle runs for 2-4 hours.

Before starting a Self Clean cycle, read all following caution and

important statements.

ENGLISH 19

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 appliance with aluminum foil. It will melt causing permanent

damage to the oven interior and disrupt heat distribution.

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

automatic door locking system. Be careful 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.

IMPORTANT

• 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

melt when exposed to very hot temperatures.

• Do not spray 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. 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. Do not rub, damage, or

remove the oven door gasket. This may 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 odors typical for Self

Clean.

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when 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. Wait one hour before

opening the oven door.

6.32 Setting Self Clean

Remove all items from the oven, including oven racks. Be sure oven

door is completely closed.

To set the function:

1. Press Self Clean. The warning "RACKS" will flash on the display,

to remind you that oven racks should be removed before starting

the Self Clean (option available for selected models). The default 3

hour clean time will appear on the display.

2. Use the Number Keys to adjust the cleaning time.

3. Press START.

4. The message "RACKS"on the display will be replaced with

"CLEAN" and Self Clean will start.

An icon appears on the display and the oven door will be locked

within 15 seconds. Do not attempt to open the door. This can damage

the automatic door-locking system.

5. When Self Clean is finished, "CLEAN" message will disappear,

and "Hot" will appear.

6. Once the oven has cooled down and "Hot" is no longer displayed,

you can open the oven door.

CAUTION!

Be careful when opening the oven door after the Self Clean cycle.

There is a risk of burns! 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 damp cloth or paper towel.

7.2 Cooktop Maintenance



NOTE

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your

ceramic glass cooktop.

First use

• Apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most

hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface.

A cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass

and help to prevent scratches and abrasions.

• Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This makes cleaning easier

when soiled from cooking.



NOTE

Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the

cooktop surface. After the cooktop is cool, use a cleaning cream

and remove them immediately. Metal marks can become

permanent if not removed prior to future use.

CAUTION!

Cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass cookware with rough bottoms

can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not the following on the cooktop:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt buildup on the bottom. Always use

clean cookware.

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

• Cook food directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may

cause it to crack.

7.3 Cooktop Cleaning

CAUTION!

Before cleaning the cooktop, make sure the controls are turned to

the OFF position and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface can be

hot from the contact with hot cookware, and burns may occur if you

touch the glass surface before it is cooled sufficiently.

WARNING!

Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be

hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-

glass surface.

Light to moderate soil:

1. Apply a few drops of cleaning cream directly to the cooktop.

2. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Do not

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

3. Ensure thorough cleaning, do not leave any residue.

Heavy, burned-on soil:

1. Apply a few drops of cleaning cream directly to the soiled area.

2. Rub the soiled area, use a non-abrasive cleaning tool, apply

pressure as needed.

3. Do not use the same pad you use to clean the cooktop for any

other purpose.

ENGLISH 21

4. If soils remain, carefully scrape them with a metal razor blade

scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30-degree angle to the surface.

5. Remove any remaining soils, then apply a few drops of cleaning

cream and buff the surface clean.

WARNING!

Do not use an abrasive type cleaning pad, it may damage the

ceramic glass cooktop. Use only cleaning products recommended

for cooktops with glass ceramic surface.

7.4 General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information

about cleaning specific parts of the oven.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance 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 filling) 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 effort required for major

cleaning later.

CAUTION!

Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls

are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can

cause burns. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven

before cleaning. Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the

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 airflow through the oven and may cause carbon

monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing

a fire hazard.

• Protective liners- Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.

High heat can melt it, damaging the oven and reducing air

circulation, leading to poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended in the manual to avoid electric shock or fire risks

• Aluminum utensils- Aluminum utensils have a lower melting point

than other metals. Use aluminum pots and pans with care.

• Oven racks- Do not cover oven racks with aluminum foil. It restricts

heat and airflow, affecting cooking results.
