2. COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

2.1 Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers

heat from the pan to the food.

Table title

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.

Table title

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.

Table title

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.

Table title

Situation Recommendation

cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all

sides. The convection fan will cycle on and off as needed, during the

cooking process. Convection Bake may be set for any oven

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

CAUTION!

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

cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become

very hot. There is a risk of burns!

Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.

• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.

Baking tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes,

biscuits and breads.

• When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware like

shown on the picture below.

• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes, biscuits or

muffins, use rack position 3.

• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, use Conv

Convert to reduce oven temperature from the recipe’s

recommended oven temperature.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware,

resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to

reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of

some foods.

• Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are

recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• 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.

To set Convection Bake with a default oven set temperature of 325°F:

1. Press Conv Bake.

2. "Conv Bake" and 325° will appear on the display.

3. Press START. The convection fan will cycle on and off as needed,

during the cooking process.

To cancel Convection Bake at any time, press OFF.

4.11 Setting Air Fry

The Air Fry function works best for single rack baking with packaged

and convenience foods. It works well with most recipes and can be

programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the

instructions on the food packaging regarding quantity, time, and

cooking temperature.

Frigidaire offers an optional Air Fry Tray specifically designed to deliver

superior performance.

Some benefits of the optional Air Fry tray:

• Tray optimized for oven space.

• Fits in the dishwasher for easy clean-up.

• Higher yield than countertop models.

• Frees up countertop space.

• Compatible with convection ovens.

• The optional Air Fry tray may be purchased from

www.frigidaire.com.

cookie sheet and placed on rack position 3 for best results.

• When using the Air Fry tray, place a large cookie sheet on rack

position 1 to catch any crumbs or drippings.

• Leave oven light off when baking.

• Food may need to be removed early and should be checked at the

minimum recommended bake time. However, frozen dense foods

and items with cook times less than 15 minutes may require

additional time.

To set the Air Fry function:

1. Arrange food on tray/sheet as suggested.

2. Press Air Fry.

3. Use the Number Keys to select temperature for particular food.

4. Press START.

5. When preheat tone sounds, place the Air Fry tray or dark cookie

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.

Holidays.

4.16 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.

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!

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.

5. BEFORE SETTING MICROWAVE OVEN CONTROLS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 About Your Microwave Oven

Read and keep this user manual handy for future reference on cooking

tips, techniques, and recipes.

IMPORTANT

Always use the microwave with the turntable and support in place.

Do not turn the turntable upside down.

Never turn on the microwave function without food inside.

The appliance may only be used for preparing food. Do not use it

to dry clothes or paper.

Check the food a minute or two before the minimum cooking time

specified in recipes or package directions. Add more time, if

needed.

The following cases may occur while using the device and they are

normal:

• Magnetron cycle on and off when the microwave oven operates at

power levels lower than 100%.

• The exterior of the appliance become warm during cooking or

reheating.

• Moisture condensate in the oven interior. You can reduce the

condensation by covering the food. Be sure not to block the

ventilation openings.

Radio or TV Interference:

If the microwave oven causes interference with your radio or TV,

ensure the microwave is on a different electrical circuit. You can also

move the radio or TV further away from the microwave or check

position and signal of receiving antenna.

5.2 About Microwave Cooking

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated

and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or

ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. It prevents spattering and helps foods to

cook evenly. Refer to your recipe or cookbook for advice on using

paper towels, wax paper, microwave-safe plastic wrap, or a lid.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during

cooking, if possible.

• Turn foods like chicken and hamburgers once during cooking to

speed up the process. Large items, such as roasts, should be

turned over at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both

from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

• Allowing food to stand in or out of the oven after cooking can

improve results. Standing time after defrosting or cooking allows the

temperature to spread evenly throughout the food.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking

temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:

– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

– Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

– Poultry thigh joints move easily.

– Meat and poultry have no pink color.

– Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

ENGLISH 11

5.3 About Foods

CAUTION!

• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g.

closed jars) will explode and should not be heated in the

microwave oven. There is a risk of injury!

• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up

inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in

injury.

• Liquids may start to boil during or after removal from the

microwave. To prevent burns, let the container stand in the

microwave for 30-40 seconds after it stops. Avoid boiling liquids

in narrow-necked containers like soft drink bottles, wine flasks,

or narrow coffee cups, as steam can build up and cause them to

burst or overflow.

• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles

(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is

open, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to

burst, possibly resulting in injury.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be cautious when

opening containers of hot food, like popcorn bags, cooking

pouches, and boxes. To avoid injury, direct steam away from

your hands and face.

• Operating the microwave without food inside for more than a

minute can damage it, potentially start a fire, and shorten its

lifespan.

• Do not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and catch fire,

causing damage to your microwave oven.

• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when handling utensils

that are in contact with food. There is a risk of burns!

• When opening a food container, hold the lid by the farthest end

and pull it towards you to direct steam away from your face and

hands. Open food and popcorn bags away from your face.

IMPORTANT

• Only pop popcorn in your microwave if you use a special

microwave popcorn accessory or popcorn labeled for

microwave use.

• Pierce foods with unbroken skins, like potatoes, hot dogs,

sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers, and egg yolks, to

allow steam to escape during cooking.

• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off.

Ensure all infant food is thoroughly cooked, and stir it to

distribute heat evenly. Be cautious when warming formula or

breast milk, as the container may feel cooler than the milk.

Always test the milk before feeding the baby.

• Cook meat to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C)

and poultry to at least 165°F (74°C), to protect against food-

borne illness.

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States

Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) recommended temperatures.

To check the doneness of the food, insert a meat thermometer in the

thick or dense part of the meat, away from fat or bone. Do not leave the

thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for

microwave use.

Check the cooking process frequently to avoid overcooking food.

Do not use the oven cavity to store any items (e.g. cookbooks).

Use only high quality, carefully handled food to minimize the spread of

food-borne bacteria.

Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing

and/or fires.

Make sure any utensils, accessories or your clothes do not touch the

safety door latches when removing items from the microwave oven.

5.4 Utensils and Coverings

It is not necessary to buy new cookware, as many items in your kitchen

can be used in your microwave. Make sure the utensil does not touch

the interior walls during cooking.

Table title

Key Press Food type

x1 Frozen breakfast (8-12) oz

x2 Ground meat

x3 Fish or seafood

x4 Chicken breast

Avoid using the same Sensor Cook setting twice in a row for the same

food. This can cause the food to overcook or burn. If the food appears

to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to

add more time.

Tips for Sensor Cook:

• Never start with less than 4 oz of food.

• For best cooking results, use proper containers and cover or wrap

food with plastic.

• Always use containers labeled as microwave-safe. Do not use

tightly sealed plastic containers, as they trap steam. This can

confuse the sensor and may cause the food to overcook.

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.

7.3 Replacing the Oven Light

CAUTION!

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before

replacing the oven light.
