Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a

pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.

• Utensil 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 utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements—

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)—Stand to the side of the range 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. The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the
surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could 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 is
hot use extreme caution. 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 utensils from the rack
before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept 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 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.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler

pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around

any part of the oven.

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket—The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each

surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top—If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top

and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cook Top 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 noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Important Safety Notice

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.

During the Self-Cleaning

cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the
appliance.

The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the Self-Cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well­ventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.

Note: See additional cleaning information
for the oven door in the General Care &

Cleaning section.

Self-Cleaning

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so

could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Remove oven racks. If they are not removed during the Self-Clean cycle

their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make
the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. 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 leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• 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 with soap and water.

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.

Baking element
may be tilted about
4 or 5 inches
to clean oven bottom

The Bake element is located in the lower oven cavity (See illustration at
left).The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front
of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for
cleaning. Remove the Bottom Rack before raising the element. Be careful not
to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after

they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur
if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

16

Self-Cleaning

Starting the Self-Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self-Clean Cycle

For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for heavier soils. NOTE: The
kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventitlation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st Self-Clean
cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st Self-Clean cycle.

To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self-Clean Cycle:

(Note: If you do not want to start a Delayed Self-Clean Cycle, skips steps 2 & 3.)

1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

2. Press

To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of

the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid

possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Care & Cleaning

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

Note: Additional cooktop cleaning cream may be ordered by visiting the Frigidaire website at www.frigidaire.com

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some of the cooktop cleaning cream supplied with your new range. Buff with
a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop
cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause
metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning
cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future
use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or dirty bottoms
can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal

or glass across the cooktop. Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt
build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using. Do not
use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do
not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not

drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop, they may
cause it to crack.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

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.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no
residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, 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, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with
cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 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.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and
scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool,
and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Before You Call

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service,

(shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these
problems are provided with the problem listed:

Range is not level - (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible
for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet.

Surface element too hot or not hot enough - Incorrect control
setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be
used.

Surface element does not heat - (1) Lightweight or warped
pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped
pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect
heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because
lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No
power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance
Does Not Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control
setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the surface
element to be used.

Entire appliance does not operate - (1) The time of day is not
set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the
oven. See “To Set the Clock” in the Setting Oven Controls
section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
(3) Service wiring is not complete. Contact your authorized
service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check house lights
to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

Oven does not operate - Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in
this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions “Entire

appliance does not operate” in this checklist.
Oven light does not work (some models) - Replace or tighten

bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual.
Oven control beeps & displays any F code error (for example

F11) - Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press
CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Reprogram

oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press CLEAR/OFF &
contact an authorized service agent.

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent - Excessive
spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie
spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom.
Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or
excessive smoke are present see “Broiling” in the Setting
Oven Controls section.

review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences

Oven smokes excessively during broiling - (1) Control(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven

Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop
position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the

broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place
grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease
to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven
surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.

Poor baking results - Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking
time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your

Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
Soil not completely removed after Self-Cleaning cycle -

Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door
area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the Self­Cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean
these areas before the Self-Cleaning cycle is started. Burned­on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or
a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

Self-Cleaning cycle does not work - (1) Oven control not set
properly. Follow instructions under Self-Cleaning. (2) Self-
Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping
or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under Self-Cleaning.

Metal marks (Ceramic Cooktop models) - Sliding or scraping
of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal
utensils on cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop
cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning
and Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.

Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface (Ceramic
Cooktop models) - (1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand

between cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure
cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before
usage. Small scratches do not affect cooking and will become
less visible with time. (2) Cleaning materials not recommended
for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop
Cleaning & Maintenance." (3) Cookware with rough bottom has
been used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.

Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface (Ceramic
Cooktop models) - Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use

razor blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop Cleaning and
Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
