garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or elements,
areas near these burners or elements, interior
surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if
equipped). Surface burners and elements may
be hot even though they appear cool. Areas
near surface burners and elements may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials touch these areas until
they are cool. These areas may include the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent
areas, oven door, and oven window.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface
heating area. Place cookware with food on the
cooking area before turning it on. Turn the
cooking area off before removing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface elements — To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the
cookware should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over other cooking
areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the
surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking area will improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of
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
recommendations for cooktop use.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Never leave surface elements unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking and greasy spills that
may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be
damaged and may damage the cooktop.
Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a
broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not
designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may
result in a fire.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Clean 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.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the appliance when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before
you remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heatsensitive 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 is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper cookware and always use the
oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any
other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as
recommended for baking, such as lining
cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short
circuit.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR APPLIANCE
Before manually cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the
appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can
cause burns.
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow
grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire.
7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended
directions for use of kitchen cleaners and
aerosols. 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 hood or
filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning vent hoods.
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.

agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
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 cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harms, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposures to such substances.

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.
Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny
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.
Recommended cooking temperatures and
times are based on shiny metal bakeware.
Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.
Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F
(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.
Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cooking Tips
Baking
Rack placement Follow the instructions in “Setting Oven Controls” on starting on page 20.
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 perfor-
mance.
Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Tips
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.
