• 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.

• 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 heating element. The use of under-

sized cookware may expose a portion of the

heating element to direct contact and may result in

the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the

proper cookware on the cooking zone will improve

efficiency.

• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials, and spills due to unintentional contact

with the utensil, the utensil handles should be

turned inward and not extend over other cooking

areas.

• Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-

overs may cause smoking and greasy spills may

ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged

and may damage the cooktop.

• Improper cookware may break due to sudden

changes in temperature. Check the cookware

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• When you are flaming foods under a ventilating

hood, turn on the fan.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of

glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop

service without breaking due to the sudden change

in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recom-

mendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If

an element is accidentally turned on, the decora-

tive cover will become hot and possibly melt.

Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.

Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

• Do not use Searing grill on the cooktop. The

Searing grill is not designed for use on the

cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

• 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 range. 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.

• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack

must be moved while oven in hot, do not let

potholder contact hot heating element in oven. Use

potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to

reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot

heating elements in the oven. 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.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line

oven bottom or any other part of the appliance.

Only use aluminum as recommended for baking if

used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use

of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a

risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook

in proper cookware and always use the over racks.

GLASS COOKTOP MODELS

• 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 immedi-

ately.

• Clean 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR OVEN

Using Proper Cookware

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of

the cookware (Figure 2). Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element (Figure 3). For detailed information about

the ceramic cooktop, refer to the“Glass Cooktop Cleaning”

on page 25.

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). If aluminum pans slide across

the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will

resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See

Aluminum).

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat

very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will

vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating

must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.

Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic

cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

The size and type of

cookware used will influ-

ence the radiant element

power level setting

needed for best cooking

results. Be sure to follow

the recommendations for

using proper cookware

as illustrated in Figure 2

and Figure 3.

Figure 2: Testing cookware

Figure 3: Proper cookware placement

• 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

cooking area marked on

cooktop by more than

one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is smaller than the

heating area marked on

cooktop.

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting

point of cookware made with these materials may be

reached quickly especially if left empty, and they may

bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will

damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware

manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of

cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or

work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the

cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may

scratch the cooktop surface. Placing food directly on the

smoothtop surface (without cooking utensil) is not recom-

mended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may

smoke and cause potential fire hazard. Never use the

griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass

cooktop.

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

About Surface Elements

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface

elements in use and their settings are all factors that will

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.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located

below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic

cooktop outlines the area of the surface element under-

neath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of

the element outline on the cooktop and only flat-bottomed

cookware should be used.

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.

Hot Surface Indicator Light

Your appliance is equipped with a radiant surface control

indicator light, which is located on the control panel

(Figure 4).

The hot surface indicator light will glow when any surface

cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass

cooktop has cooled to a moderate level (Figure 5).

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to

cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to

prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the

HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too

small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is

not flat.

For detailed information about the ceramic cooktop, refer

to the “Glass Cooktop Cleaning” on page 25.

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.

NOTE

CAUTION

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 they have available as well

as follow their recommendations for home canning proce-

dures.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home

canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• 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.

• 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 seating 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.

• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the

units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to

avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.

Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use

extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to

vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that

harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are

sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner,

a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously

for the required time.

CAUTION

11

Surface Cooking Elements and Settings

The cooktop has four single radiant or coil surface

elements, depending upon your appliance.

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type

of food being cooked will influence the surface element

power level setting needed for best cooking results.Use

Table 1 to determine the correct setting for the type of food

you are preparing.

To Operate the Surface Elements:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant or coil

surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either

direction to the desired setting (Figure 7). Start most

cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to

a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element

provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. 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.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control

knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Surface Cooking Tips:

• For efficient cooking, turn off the element several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow

residual heat to complete the cooking process.

• The surface Element On indicator lights will glow when

one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at

these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an

easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned

off.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The indicator light will

turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop

has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface

is touched before the indicator light has turned off.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain

cookware or any material that can melt to make contact

with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the

cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Do not place plastic items such as 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.

CAUTION

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the

oven is on, warm air passes through this 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 aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or

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

The Cooling Fan

The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled

through the vents between the oven door and the control

panel, as shown in Figure 8.

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Racks

This appliance comes with two flat racks.

To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the oven).

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.

Flat Oven Rack

Air Circulation in the Oven

The rack has a special shape in the rear which helps with

the heat circulation.

Do not push the baking tray all the way to the back wall of

the cavity. This prevents the heat from circulating around

the tray. The food may be burnt, especially in the rear part

of the tray.

For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2

inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper air circula-

tion. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other,

the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.

Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even

heat to reach the food.

Figure 8: Oven vent location

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, oven

racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause

burns.

CAUTION

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock or fire.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Single Rack Baking

If you choose to use a single rack while cooking, then

radiant baking is preferred.

• For best results when baking with one oven rack, place

racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 15).

• When baking using one oven racks, position bakeware

as shown in Figure 16. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of

space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Multi-Rack Baking

If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then

Convection baking is preferred.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using

two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 3

(Figure 15) and place pans as shown in Figure 17.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between

bakeware for proper air circulation.

General Baking Tips:

• Preheat the oven 8-10 minutes before baking items like

cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny

bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It

may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or

cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark

pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recom-

mended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door

will reduce the temperature in the oven.

• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require

reducing oven temperature.

Figure 16: Baking with a single rack

For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the recom-

mended bake function for best results for batter and

dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and

breads.

The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s also for

presentation purposes. You may also bake with the left

pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either

position for either pan bakes correctly.

IMPORTANT

NOTE

Figure 17: Baking with multiple levels & racks

When baking using two oven racks, the pans on each

rack must be swapped half way through the cook time for

best results.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Broil

Use to cook meats that require direct exposure to radiant

heat for optimum browning results. Position the rack as

suggested in Table 3.

To set broil

1. Arrange the oven rack while oven is still cool. Turn the

oven mode knob to the broil position (Figure 13).

2. Turn the oven temp knob to the desired temperature

position (Figure 14). For optimum results, preheat broil

for 2-to-5 minutes before adding food.

3. Place the insert on the broil pan (if equipped), then

place the food on the broil pan insert (if using a broiler

pan and insert). To purchase a broiling pan and insert,

visit frigidaire.com

4. Place the broiler pan and insert on the oven rack.

Center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element.

Broil on one side until food is browned. Always pull the

oven rack out to the stop position before turning or

removing food. Turn and broil food on the second side.

5. To cancel the broiling function, turn the oven mode and

oven temp knobs to the OFF positions.

Keep the oven door closed when broiling. The escaping

heat could damage appliance knobs and controls.

NOTE

Figure 18: Broil accessories

Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door closed and

turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda

on the fire or 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.

The broiler pan and the insert allow grease to drain and

be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use

the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with

aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.

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.

a.The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may

survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh

beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Convection Bake

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 19).

This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking

and browning results. It also gives better baking results

when using two oven racks at the same time. Heated air

flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and

flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods

baked in a standard pan will bake faster and more evenly

with the convection feature. Multiple rack baking may

slightly increase bake time for some foods, but the overall

result is time saved.

Benefits of Convection Bake:

• Superior multiple oven rack performance

• Foods bake more evenly

• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.

To set convection bake:

1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.

2. Allow oven to preheat the oven for 8-to-10 minutes

before baking. Preheating is not necessary when

roasting, cooking casseroles, or broiling most foods.

3. Turn the oven mode knob to the conv bake position

(Figure 20).

4. Turn the oven temp knob to the desired temperature

position (Figure 21).

When using convection bake, decrease your normal

cooking times. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness

as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the

amount and type of food to be cooked.

Be aware that the convection fan will continue to run

after the door is opened. This is normal. Use caution

when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air will be

pushed out of the appliance.

Figure 19: Air movement using convection

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the

oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks,

and cooktop will become very hot which can cause

burns.

Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom. To

avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces,

always bake foods in the oven using bakeware posi-

tioned on an oven rack.

Single Rack Baking

• For best results when baking with one oven rack, place

racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 22).

• When baking using one oven rack, position bakeware

as shown in Figure 23. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of

space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

• The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s also for

presentation purposes. You may also bake with the left

pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either

position for either pan bakes correctly.

• If you choose to use a single rack while cooking, then

radiant baking is preferred. If you choose to use multiple

rack while cooking, then Convection baking is preferred.

Multi-Rack Baking

If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then

Convection baking is preferred.

• For best results when baking cakes or cookies using

two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 3

(Figure 22) and place pans as shown in Figure 24.

• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between

bakeware for proper air circulation.

General Baking Tips:

• When using convection, use bakeware with low sides.

This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.

• Because most food items will cook faster and more

evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to

reduce recipe’s recommended temperature by 25° for

best results. Follow the recipe’s instructions using the

minimum recommended cook time.

• When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions may vary

depending on the amount and type of food being

cooked.

• Fully preheat the oven for 8-10 minutes before baking

items like cookies, biscuits and breads.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny

bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It

may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or

cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark

pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recom-

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Roast

Use the roast function to roast meats and poultry. Meats

cooked using the roast function will be juicier and poultry

will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist

on the inside.

Suggestions for roast:

• The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid

will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold

the meat.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting as this will

prevent the meat from browning properly.

• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting

rack. Use a deep pan instead.

• Use a deep pan for fatty food to prevent the oven from

stains that can be permanent.

To set roast:

1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.

2. Preheat the oven if desired, but preheating is not

necessary when roasting and cooking casseroles.

Preheating is necessary when broiling.

3. Turn the oven mode knob to the roast position

(Figure 25).

4. Turn the oven temp knob to the desired temperature

setting (Figure 26).

5. To cancel the roasting function, turn the oven mode

and oven temp knobs to the OFF positions.

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.

Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom. To

avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces,
