COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.

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 shiny metal bakeware.
Dark metal bakeware	Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.	Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F (13-14°C) when using dark bakeware.
Glass bakeware	Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware. Glass is convenient, as the same piece of bakeware can be used for cooking, serving, and storing food.	Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F (13-14°C) when using glass bakeware.
Insulated bakeware	Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware. Insulated bakeware is designed for baking in gas ovens.	Baking may take a bit longer with insulated bakeware. Be sure to check recipe times as it may require a slightly longer baking time.

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, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly.	If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging. 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 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 amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.

Cooking Results

Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

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". 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".
Food placement	Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
Material	Recommendation
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan	For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. 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.
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 recommendations, 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 reduce 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. Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from 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. If you do not have one of these accessories, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

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. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.

Prior to 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. This will make 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 will all affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

• The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface.
• Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
• 
  Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without a cooking utensil) is not recommended, as difficult cleaning will result, and foods may smoke and cause 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.

NOTE

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
• Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the "Care and Cleaning" section and "Before You Call" checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled 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 allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in "Figure 1: Testing cookware" and "Proper cookware" table.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see "Figure 1: Testing cookware"). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.

Proper cookware
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 element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• 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 will vary depending on base material.
• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

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.

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the area is designed for that purpose. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

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.

• A single radiant element has one circle.
• A dual radiant element has two circles. The dual element may be set using just the smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements for a larger cooking surface.
• A keep warm element has one small circle. It is used to keep food warm after cooking. The keep warm element is not designed to cook food but to keep food at serving temperature. It is located in the rear (middle) of the cooktop.
  
  Figure 4: Keep Warm Zone

The Space Pro has two single elements that can be set independently using separate knobs.
The Space Pro can also be set to connect both single heating zones for oversize cookware.

Figure 5: Space Pro

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

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.

Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance.

Check the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom 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.
• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Single radiant surface elements

The cooktop has three single radiant surface elements: the right rear position, and the two elements in the Space Pro located on the left side of the cooktop.

To operate the single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob to the desired setting (refer to the "Suggested settings for radiant elements" table below).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

Start most cooking on a higher setting and 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 graphics provided 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 radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Table below are based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Suggested settings for radiant elements
Settings	Type of Cooktop
High (HI)	Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
Medium High (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

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.

• 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.
• The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when finished cooking is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will stay on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Dual radiant surface elements

The dual burner can handle 9 inch or 12 inch cookware. This dual burner is especially useful for bringing large cookware to boil for canning or heating large amounts of water.

Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer elements.

Figure 7: Dual burner single use (L) dual use (R).

To operate a dual radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer elements. If only the inner element is needed for smaller cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

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 mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.

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 the ceramic cooktop.

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.
You may switch from either single or dual element setting at any time during cooking. See "Suggested radiant surface element settings".

• 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.
• The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when finished cooking is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF.
• The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will stay on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

• 
  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.

Space Pro Element

The Space Pro uses two single elements on the left side of the cooktop (front and rear) and another element that can be activated to connect the two single elements.
The front and rear controls can be used as single elements.

To combine both elements by activating the connecting element:

1. Turn the front and rear controls to HI.
   
2. Then turn the Space Pro control (connecting) to ON.
   
3. Once all three elements are on they will act as a single unit. If either one of the single elements is turned OFF the connecting element will also turn off. The other single element will remain on until it is turned OFF.
   
   Figure 8: Space Pro Elements

Keep Warm Zone

The Keep Warm zone helps keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep cooked foods hot such as vegetables, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warmer 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 plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.

Figure 9: Keep Warm Zone

The keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the zone until the hot surface indicator light is off.

Recommended keep warm zone settings

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 off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Figure 10: Oven vent

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.

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.

Types of Oven Rack

Figure 11: Oven rack types

• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
• Air Fry Tray - Designed especially for air frying in a tray that fits inside the Air Fry rack.
• Glide Rack - The fully extendable glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

Removing/Replacing and Arranging Racks

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Removing and Replacing the Glide Racks

The fully extendable Glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

To remove - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Using one hand, reach through handle opening and grasp both the upper and lower portions of the glide rack

While holding both sections, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached

Using both hands, lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack.

The rack portions move independently and should be held together when removing and replacing.

To replace - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position.

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.

Setting Bake

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.

Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Baking tips

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
• Use the convection bake function for best results 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 muffins use rack position 4.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase the cooking time necessary for best results.
• Do not leave the oven light on while baking.

The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to bake for a longer period, see "Changing between continuous bake setting or 12 hour energy saving" for detailed information.

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.

To set Bake for oven temperature of 350°F:

1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the item(s) to be baked.
2. Turn the OVEN MODE knob to BAKE.
3. Adjust the OVEN TEMP knob until the Oven Display shows the desired temperature setting of 350°F.

5. When set temperature is reached, PREHEAT light will turn off and a reminder tone will sound alerting you to place food in oven. Set either timer to keep track of actual cooking time if necessary.
6. When finished baking, be sure to the oven mode knob to the OFF position.

Air Fry

The Air Fry feature works best with packaged and convenience foods and can be programmed for temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation quantity, time, and temperature.

• Air Fry is designed for baking on a single oven rack. Food should be arranged in single layers on the tray.
• When using Air Fry, place a baking sheet on the rack position 1 to catch any crumbs or drippings to prevent these from burning on the oven bottom and creating smoke.
• When cooking fresh, homemade foods you may need to spray a little oil on the items.
• Leave oven light off when baking.
• Food may need to be removed early and should be checked at 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 Air Fry tray as suggested.
2. Select Air Fry. Adjust the OVEN TEMP knob until the Oven Display shows the desired temperature setting.
3. When preheat tone sounds place the Air Fry tray on rack position 3. Place the cookie sheet on rack position 1.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides.
Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking.
• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.

Convection baking tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 with flat rack and 5 using glide rack. Position cookware as shown.
  
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent over browning of some foods.
• Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces oven temperature and may extend cooking time.
• Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.
• Leave oven light off while baking.

To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to 375°F:

1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the OVEN MODE knob to CONVECT BAKE.
3. Adjust the OVEN TEMP knob until the Oven Display shows the desired temperature setting of 375°F.
4. The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds before sounding a tone confirming the setting. The convection fan will turn on and the oven will begin heating. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will sound a tone indicating the food items can be placed in the oven.
5. When finished baking, be sure to return the oven mode knob to the OFF positions.

Convection Roast

Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated 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.

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.

Benefits of convection roasting:

• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
• No special pans or bakeware required.
• Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast chart for additional information.

To set oven for convection roasting:

1. Place meat on roasting rack and place in oven.
2. Turn OVEN MODE knob to CONV ROAST.
3. Adjust the OVEN TEMP knob until the Oven Display shows the desired temperature setting.

To cancel CONV ROAST turn OVEN MODE knob to OFF.

NOTE
Preheating the oven for convection roasting is not necessary. At this time you may want to set TIMER as a reminder for checking food.

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, it may 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 desire doneness is obtained.
• Carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommendations for additional information.
• 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.

Using the Broil Feature

Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling is direct heat cooking and may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element.
Broil is preset to 550°F.

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.

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.

OPEN DOOR BROIL SHUTOFF: If the oven door is left open during Broil for more than 3 minutes an alarm will sound to notify the user to close the oven door. If the door is not closed the oven will turn off within 30 seconds of the open door alarm.

To set broil:

1. Arrange oven racks while oven is cool.
2. Turn the OVEN MODE knob to Broil.
3. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.
4. Place the broiler pan on the rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element.
5. Broil with oven door closed. Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
6. Turn the selector knob to OFF when broiling is complete or to cancel broil.

Rack positions (L); and broil pan and insert (R)

NOTE
Broiler pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil – the exposed grease could ignite.
If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com

• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
• For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Meat Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.
Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here:

Setting the meat probe to stay on

1. Press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock icon for 3 seconds.
   
2. Press the + or - keys until Prb and the probe symbol appear. If the probe is OFF, press the + or - key on either side of the off display to turn the probe feature on.
   
3. After 3 seconds the control will accept the change with an acceptance tone and fade the On/ Off from the display.
   The Probe will remain on and ready for use unless the user repeats the steps and selects OFF

For best use and care of the Meat Probe, when finished using this feature remove the Meat Probe and reset the feature to the OFF position until the next use.

• The probe feature must be set before setting the cooking mode and oven temperature.
• If a timer is running when the meat probe is plugged in, the control will sound a triple beep once and the timer will keep running. The timer must be canceled before the probe temperature can be set.
• If the meat probe is plugged in during BROIL or CLEAN, the oven will continue and ignore the meat probe.
• If the meat probe is plugged in while the oven is in a function that allows for the meat probe, the control will display the meat probe icon and enter meat probe programming mode and show the meat probe suggested target temperature.
• If no cooking mode is selected within 30 seconds of setting the target temperature, the oven mode indicator light will stop blinking. The display will continue to show the meat probe settings until an allowable cooking cycle is selected.
• When the meat probe is set correctly, the control will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. When active, the internal food temperature 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.

NOTE
If the meat probe is plugged while the oven is in a function which allows probe cooking, it may be set the following way:

• The display will show the meat probe icon and temperature 000°.
• The meat probe temperature can now be set and the control will sound an acceptance tone.

To set probe:
Note: The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC); the maximum is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC).

1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.
2. Plug the connector end of the probe into the probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is located on the upper left front oven cavity wall.
3. The Meat Probe is set to OFF by default. Before using the meat probe go to user preferences to ensure the Meat Probe is ON See directions on the previous page for activating the meat probe.
4. Insert the probe connector into the receptacle. The probe icon appears in the display. Make sure the probe sensor is correctly inserted into the center of the food. Close the oven door.
   
5. Press the + key to set the desired probe temperature between 140°F and 210°F. If no selection is made within 10 seconds, the control will automatically set the default temperature of 170°F and the display will sound an acceptance tone.
6. The probe must be set before setting the oven mode and temperature mode.
7. Set the oven mode to QUICK PREHEAT, BAKE, CONVECT BAKE, or CONVECT ROAST.
8. Set the oven temp control to desired cooking temperature. The oven will begin heating.
9. During the cooking process, the current meat probe temperature will appear in the display until the meat probe target temperature is reached.
10. Once the target temperature of the food is reached, the control will emit a tone to signal the end of cooking. At this time the will turn off and the display will show the FOOD READY and OVEN WARM messages.

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 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.
  

Parts of the probe

NOTE
During cooking the internal food temperature will display by default.
To assure accuracy, do not remove the probe from the food or receptacle until the desired internal temperature is reached.
If the probe is removed from the receptacle only, the probe feature will cancel but the oven will continue to cook. If the probe is removed from the food only, the probe feature will remain active and may eventually generate a probe too hot message.
To change the target temperature while cooking, press the plus or minus key.

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.

Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or device could result in damage to the oven control, electronics, and the receptacle.
Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.

Trailing Keep Warm with Meat Probe

When the meat probe reaches the target temperature, the oven will automatically switch to keep warm (170°F) and remain on for up to 3 hours before turning off automatically. The display will continue to show the meat probe temperature until either keep warm is canceled or by disconnecting the meat probe from the receptacle. Once turned off, the probe icon and temperature will fade from the display.

If the meat probe temperature should exceed the maximum allowable temperature, the oven control will beep and HOT will appear in the display for 40 seconds to notify that the probe temperature is too high.

Keep warm tips:

• Always start with hot food. Do not use the keep warm feature to heat cold food.
• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic containers may need higher temperature settings compared to food in regular containers.
• Avoid repeated openings of the oven, it will allow hot air to escape and the food to cool.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to keep food moist.

Keep Warm

Keep Warm should only be used with foods that are already at serving temperatures. Keep warm will keep cooked foods warm and ready for serving after cooking has finished.
Keep warm will keep the oven temperature at 170°F (77°C).

To set keep warm:

1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Turn the OVEN MODE knob to BAKE.
3. Set the OVEN TEMP knob to KEEP WARM.
   
4. The indicator light will blink and then an acceptance tone will sound.
5. The preheat indicator light will turn on and stay on until the oven reaches keep warm temperature of 170°F.

Setting Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays

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.

Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. The Sabbath feature may only be used with the bake function. Once the oven is properly set using bake with the Sabbath feature active, the oven will remain on until cancelled. The Sabbath feature overrides the factory preset 12 hour energy saving feature.
The oven light will turn off during the Sabbath mode and remain off until the Sabbath mode is canceled. before activating the Sabbath feature. The meat probe feature is not available in Sabbath mode.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features are cancelled 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.

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.

To set the oven for baking and activate the Sabbath feature:

1. Be sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. Place food in the oven.
2. Turn the OVEN MODE knob to BAKE.
3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired bake temperature. An acceptance tone will sound, the oven will start heating.
4. To enter Sabbath mode: Press and hold the oven light key and the clock key at the same time for about 3 seconds. The control will sound an acceptance tone and SAB will appear in the display below the time of day.
   
5. During the Sabbath mode all normal sounds of the oven control will be turned off. However the control will allow any sounds associated with alarms.
6. During Sabbath operation the oven temperature may be changed by adjusting the OVEN TEMP knob.

To turn off the Sabbath feature:

1. Turning the OVEN MODE knob to the OFF position will cancel BAKE only.
2. To turn off the Sabbath feature press and hold both the oven light key and the clock key for about 3 seconds.
3. The acceptance tone will sound and SAB will disappear from the display.

Power failure while using Sabbath feature:
Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven will shut off. When power is returned, SF (Sabbath Failure) will display, and the oven will not turn back on automatically.
Remove the food when the power failure occurs. You may only start the oven once during Sabbath/ Jewish holidays.
After the Sabbath observance turn off the Sabbath feature. Press and hold both the oven light and clock keys for at least 3 seconds. SAb will disappear from the display, and the oven may be used with all normal functions.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures.

NOTE
Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.

If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed by accessing the UPO (User Programmable Offset).

Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.

Before making a temperature adjustment, make sure both the oven mode and oven temperature control knobs are in the OFF position.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1. When the oven is idle, press and hold both the light icon and the clock icon at the same time for a few seconds until the display sounds an acceptance tone. AUd should appear in the display.
2. Press the + key until UPO appears and the default setting of 0° (or the last offset temperature) is showing
   

Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press until the desired temperature change (offset) is reached. The display will change ± 5° with each key press to a maximum of + 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.

If a lower temperature offset is desired, press the – key in the bottom of the display until the desired lower temperature appears.

Once the new offset appears in the display, release the key and the control will accept the change.
To return the display to normal, press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock icon at the same time until an acceptance tone sounds. The display will return to show the time of day.

NOTE
Changing the UPO will not affect the broil or self clean temperatures.

Self clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times of 2, 3 or 4 hours.

Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle.

• 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 damage 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 off during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

• 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 not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
• 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. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and 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 normal odors.
• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator 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. 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.

To set a self clean cycle:
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.

To set the controls for a 3 hour self clean cycle and shut off automatically:
Turn the OVEN MODE knob to CLEAN. The display will show a 3 hour time (normal clean) and the – and + keys.

If a 3 hour clean is desired, the control will accept the time within 3 seconds. However, the user may select a 2 or 4 hour clean by using the – or + keys to change to the desired clean time and then allow the control to accept the change

Once the control accepts the clean time the display will flash a reminder for the user to REMOVE RACKS.

The REMOVE RACKS notification will flash for a few seconds prompting the user to remove all oven racks.

If the oven door is opened as this time the display will show CLO to indicate that the door must be closed before the clean cycle can begin.
If the door remains open for more than 3 minutes, the clean function will be canceled

When the oven is set to run the clean cycle, 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. After self-clean, the oven may take about one hour to cool and unlock. A Hot message will display during this period.
After cooling, the DOOR lock will flash and disappear indicating that the door has unlocked and the oven may be used for normal operation. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door after a CLEAN.

Cooktop Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to 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. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
  
  Figure 16: Cooktop care
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom; always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop; they may cause it to crack.

Cooktop Cleaning

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface could be hot from contact with hot cookware, and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

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.

For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper held at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Finish cleaning with cooktop cleaning cream.

Figure 17: Cooktop cleaning

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

Caring for Your Glide Racks

Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After cooking or after the clean cycle, racks will be very hot and can cause burns.

• Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks, before starting a clean cycle.
• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.
• It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every clean cycle and when the rack becomes difficult to reposition in the oven.

To lubricate the glide rack:

1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a large flat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.
2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a cloth or sponge.
   
3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.
   
   
4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
   
5. Turn the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrication to the insides of the loading guides.
6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the bottom of the "V" and the glide channels. Keeping the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.
   
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

The door is heavy. To temporarily store it safely, place the door horizontally with the interior side facing down.

To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor.
2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to apply a little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up (Figure 19 and Figure 20).
   
3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges.
4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the appliance to completely disengage the hinge levers (Figure 21).
   

To replace oven door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. Do not use the oven door handle (Figure 21).
2. Hold the oven door at the same angle as the removal position. Carefully insert the hinge levers into the oven frame until you feel the hinge levers are seated into the hinge notches. The hinge arms must be fully seated into the hinge notches before the oven door can be fully opened. (Figure 21).
3. Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (Figure 18).
   
4. Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the locked position (Figure 19-20).
5. Close the oven door.

Special door care instructions - The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are positioned correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware or any other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

Replacing the Oven Lights

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass or burns.

The oven light bulbs are located at the rear of the oven cavity and both are covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

Replacing the interior light bulbs:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
2. Remove carefully oven interior light shield.
   
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type 25 Watt Halogen appliance bulb. Please note: Do not allow your fingers to touch the new bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life of the new bulb. Use a paper towel to cover the new bulb when installing.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset.

Removing the Storage Drawer

Use the storage drawer for storing cooking utensils. The drawer can be removed to facilitate cleaning under the range. Use care when handling the drawer.

Use the self clean cycle to clean only the parts listed in this manual.

Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is to be stored or discarded.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Handle halogen lights (if equipped) with paper towels or soft gloves. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.
