1.7 Important instructions for using
radiant cooktops
Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area.
Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning
it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the
cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend
over adjacent surface elements. To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the
cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over other cooking areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with
flat bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the
proper cookware on the cooking area will improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of cookware are
suitable for cook top service and must be magnetic to work
properly on the induction zones. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use to ensure that the
cookware is compatible with induction cooking.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in
temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs may
cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that
has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the
cooktop.
Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on
the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the
cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
on the fan.
1.8 Important instructions for using
glass and ceramic cooktops
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
Clean the cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful
to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
1.9 Important instructions for using
your oven
Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven
liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining
cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of
protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or
warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the
appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air
or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the
oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in
this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do
not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven
vent. These items can melt or ignite.
4 ENGLISH
background
Placement of oven racks: Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot burner or
element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and
inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of
the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil;
exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper
cookware and always use the oven racks.
1.10 Important instructions for cleaning

ENGLISH 5
background
Material Attributes Recommendation
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.
2.3 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.
2.4 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.
2.5 Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Table title
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.
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.
Convection roast Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry. Reducing the cooking
temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommen‐
dations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time.
Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You can re‐
duce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue
cooking until the desired doneness is obtained. If the food probe is included with your appliance, use it. If not, you can
buy it in most grocery and home goods stores. Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest
rack of the oven.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly. When cooking meats,
use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent
grease splatters.

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.
IMPORTANT
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work
surface.
Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
It is not recommended to place food directly on the cooktop
surface (without using kitchen utensils), as it will be difficult to
clean and food residue may smoke and create a potential fire
hazard.
Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass
cooktop. Any cookware that has a rough or dirty bottom can
scratch the ceramic cooktop. Always start with clean cookware.
3.2 About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element glows red. To maintain the selected
setting, the element cycles on and off. The heating element retains
enough heat to provide uniform and consistent heat during the off
cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before
cooking is complete. This allows residual heat to complete the cooking
process.
CAUTION!
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they are turned
off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if
the element or surrounding area is touched before it cools to a safe
temperature.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range
when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the
surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector
pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil or any material that can melt to make
contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the
cooktop, they damage the cooktop.
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle
on and off, even at the HI setting.
3.3 Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting
needed for best cooking results.
Correct cookware:
Flat bottom and straight sides.
Tight fitting lids.
Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.
Made of material that conducts heat well.
Easy to clean.
Cookware size matches the amount of food to be prepared.
Cookware diameter matches the size of the Cooking Zone.
Incorrect cookware:
Bottom curved or warped.
Cookware larger than the Cooking Zone by more than 0,5 inch (12
mm).
Heavy handle tilts pan.
Pan is much smaller than the Cooking Zone.
Cookware material types:
Aluminum - excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause
it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and
pitting).
Copper - excellent heat conductor but discolors 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 retain heat very well.
Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - heating characteristics may vary
depending on base material.
Glass - slow heat conductor
IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain- 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 different surface
cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the
cooktop.
3.4 Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of
element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the
model.
ENGLISH 7

A B A
D
C
A. Single element
B. Warm Zone (some models)
C. Simmer to Boil
D. Dual element (some models)
3.5 ELEMENT ON Indicator and HOT SURFACE Indicator
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are
turned off.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot
enough to cause burns and will remain on after the burner is turned off
until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature.
3.6 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.
CAUTION!
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an
extended amount of time.
4. SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
4.1 Setting Radiant Surface Elements
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have
to be set exactly on a particular spot. Use the prints as a guide and
adjust the control knob as needed.
A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge
of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface
heating area.
Suggested settings for radiant elements
Settings Type of Cooking
High (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil,
pan broiling.
Medium (7 - 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry.
Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and
gravies or steam vegetables.
Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew.
Low (1) Low temperature cooking.
Low (LO) Keep warm, melt.
The suggested settings are based on cooking with medium-weight
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of
pans.
The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food
being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
CAUTION!
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they
have been turned off . The element may still be hot and burns may
occur if the element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on top of the range
when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the
surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector
pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make
contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop, they will damage it.
Never place a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking
areas at the same time, unless the cooktop has a bridge element
and the cookware is specifically designed for the purpose.
Incorrect use may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Setting Single Radiant Surface Element
To operate single radiant elements (including Simmer to Boil element):
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the
desired setting (refer to the “Suggested settings for radiant
elements” table.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF
before removing the cookware.
Simmer to Boil Element
Simmer to Boil element (some models) is designed to quickly heat and
cook large amounts of food in large pots. Simmer to Boil elements are
clearly labeled on the cooktop.
Setting Dual Radiant Surface Element (Some Models)
The symbols above the knob indicate which part of the dual element to
activate.
To operate a dual radiant element:
8 ENGLISH
background
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob counterclockwise to
activate both the inner and outer elements. If only the inner element
is needed (for smaller cookware), push in and turn the knob
clockwise.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF before removing
the cookware.
Setting Warm Zone (Some Models)
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on
the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming zone should be
covered with a lid to maintain quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should
have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap
to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to
clean. Use only dishware, utensils, and cookware recommended for
oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
To activate the Warm Zone, press the Warm Zone button on the control
panel
NOTE
Unlike the single and dual surface elements, the Warm Zone will
not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use potholders
or oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop, including the
Warm Zone, as cookware and plates will be hot.
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.
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.
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
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove oven racks
1. Pull the rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position.
2. Slightly lift up front of the oven rack and slide it out.
To replace oven racks

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.
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
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel.
To clean the interior use oven cleaners.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Place the dish of ammonia in the oven.
Let it sit overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed.
Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or nonabrasive
cleaner.
If necessary, apply an oven cleaner following the manufacturer's
instructions.
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
bottom.
Use hot, soapy water for cleaning.
Rinse well with clean water and a cloth.
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.
ENGLISH 15
background
Oven racks- Do not cover oven racks with aluminum foil. It restricts
heat and airflow, affecting cooking results.
7.5 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.
NOTE
Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new
bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers when replacing.
This will shorten the life of the bulb.
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
1. Turn electrical power off 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.
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).
Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
7.6 Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
CAUTION!
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat
with the inside of the door facing down.
IMPORTANT
Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not hit the glass
with pots, pans, or any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or
stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased
risk of breakage at a later time. Do not close the oven door until all
of the oven racks are fully in place.
