Important Instructions For Ceramic Glass Cooktops

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is

broken, cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Exercise caution when cleaning the cooktop. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Important Instructions for Using your Cooktop

• Know which knob or keypad controls each surface

cooking zone. Place pan with food on the cooking zone before turning it on. Turn the cooking zone off before removing the pan.

• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with induction cooking zones of different sizes. Select utensils specifically manufactured or approved for induction cooking. Pans should have flat bottoms that match the induction cooking zone size. Using the proper utensil 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 cookware, turn utensil handles inward and do not extend them over other cooking zones.

• Never leave surface cooking zones 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.

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

Important Instructions for Using Your Oven

• Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.

• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

WARNING

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Induction Cooking Zones

Your cooktop is equipped with four induction cooking zones of different sizes and a radiant heat warmer zone (Figure 1).

Benefits of Induction Surface Cooking

Fast and efficient - Induction cooking zones heat faster and use less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and they are efficient when simmering.

A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction cooking zones is, whether it is turned on or off, the cooking zones remain cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the presence of cookware.

Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zones make cleanup easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up easily.

Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that automatically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This will reduce accidental “turn-ons.”

Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the induction cooking zones to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.

More responsive - Induction cooking zones are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.

Induction cooking directly heats the pan; heating will only begin when cookware is properly placed on the cooking zones.

Induction Cookware

When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer as induction ready, induction capable, or a similar statement by the manufacturer that the cookware is specifically designed for induction cooking.

The cooking zones will not activate if the cookware is not constructed with a base magnetic material. To check if the cookware base material is suitable, use a magnet to test (

Figure 2). If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware,

the material type is correct.

For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recommended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on the induction cooking zones. Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations when using cookware made for induction cooking.

Induction Cookware Types

The most common induction cookware types available are:

• Stainless steel - Generally excellent for induction cooking. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

• Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly. Do not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron cookware with a rough surface will scratch ceramic cooktop.

• Porcelain-enamel coated metals - Heating characteristics will vary depending on quality of base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching the ceramic cooktop.

Figure 1: Typical induction cooktop

Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to carefully read and follow these cookware recommendations and the instructions in the pan sensing section.

Figure 2: Testing a pan for magnetic properties

Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic; stainless steel is not always suitable for induction cooking.

IMPORTANT

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Tips For Using the Cooking Zones

• Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic

base material.

• Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution, allowing for more even cooking results.

• Check that cookware bottom rests level on cooktop surface. Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire induction cooking zone area. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (

Figure 3).

• Be sure cookware is properly balanced and does not tilt from a heavy handle.

• Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to be prepared. The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

• Never let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent damage such as breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the cooktop.

• Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum cookware size requirements for each cooking zone.

Moving Cookware on a Smoothtop

It is recommended to always use heavier gauge high quality cookware on the cooking zones. Even high quality cookware can still scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

Sliding any type of cookware over the surface will scratch the cooktop over time. Scratches will make cleaning the ceramic cooktop difficult and degrade the appearance of the cooktop.

See “Care and Cleaning” beginning on page 37 for more

detailed information about the cooktop.

Figure 3: Checking the pan for flatness

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite if placed too close to hot cookware.

CAUTION

• Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass smoothtop. Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always start with clean cookware.

• 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 may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Figure 4: Do not slide pan

IMPORTANT

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Pan Sensing

The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require that certain cookware conditions are met before the induction cooking zones can operate.

The cooking zone display windows may display a pan sensing error message. If a cooking zone is activated and no cookware is detected, the affected induction cooking zone display window will flash with the last power level request setting (

Figure 5). If the cookware does not meet

the correct conditions, the cooking zones may not heat.

A flashing error message as illustrated in Figure 5 can be generated by those conditions. Use Figure 6 as a guide to help to correct the problem or problems before attempting to reactivate any of the cooking zones.

If the problem or problems are not corrected, the affected cooking zone will automatically deactivate after 3 minutes.

Figure 5: Power boost power level setting

It is recommended that you lower the requested power level setting before correcting the pan sensing message.

NOTE

Figure 6: Potential cooking zone Issues

Correct Incorrect

• Cookware centered correctly on cooking zone.

• Flat pan bottom and straight sides.

• Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size for cooking zone.

• Pan rests completely and is level on the cooktop surface.

• Pan is properly balanced.

• Pan does not meet the minimum size required (too small) for cooking zone.

• Pan bottom rests on cooktop edg e.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Cookware not centered on cooking zone.

• Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.

• Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics.

• Cookware base material is non-magnetic.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Minimum and Maximum Pan Size

Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in order to activate. The graphics on each cooking zone location are your guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone.The shorter lines guide the minimum pan size.The longer lines guide the maximum pan size. The cookware bottom must meet the minimum and maximum area requirements for the heating process to begin.

See Figure 7 for the pan size requirements for each cooking

zone location.

If a pan that is induction-capable is centered properly but is too small, the affected cooking zone display will flash the last power level setting and the pan will not heat. Select a larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to activate the selected cooking zone.

Do not use pans with bottoms that extend more than 1/2” (13mm) beyond any of the longer line marks provided on the cooktop. The cookware must make full contact with the ceramic glass surface. Cookware should not rest on or touch the metal edges of the cooktop.

The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, number of cooking zones in use and their power level settings are all factors that affect the amount of heat that will spread beyond the cooking zones. Induction cooking zones and areas surrounding the cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns. Be sure to read all cautions.

Hot Cookware and Residual Heat

Home Canning

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

Check with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website. Be sure to read all the available information as well as follow the recommendations for home canning procedures.

• 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 using a range with a ceramic glass cooktop.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the cooking zone markings. It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on ranges with ceramic glass or open coil electric cooktops.

• Start with hot tap 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.

• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.

• Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high

heat for extended amounts 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.

Figure 7: Induction pan size requirements

3.5 inch (90mm) minimum

5.5 inch (140mm) minimum

8.25 inch (210mm) minimum

cookware should not exceed 1/2 inch (13mm)

from the outer cooking zone markings

4.5 inch (110mm) minimum

Unlike radiant surface elements, induction cooking zones do not glow red when hot. The glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur. Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or potholders to protect hands from burns.

Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Raise the lid to vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and jars seal completely. When canning in a water bath canner, continuously maintain a gentle but steady boil for the required time.

CAUTION

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cooktop Display Windows

The range backguard provides a digital window for each cooking zone on the cooktop. Power levels and messages are monitored and controlled using the window displays in combination with the corresponding control knobs.

Available Power Level Settings

The cooktop control (Figure 8) displays power levels ranging from Lo to Hi to Pb (Figure 9) in a display window located above each control dial. The settings range is between 1.5 and 9.5 (

Figure 10), adjustable in 0.5 incre-

ments.

Use Table 1 on page 13 to determine the correct power level setting for the type of food you are preparing.

Power Boost (Pb) Power Level

When setting an induction cooking zone for Hi, the display will initially show Pb power level for up to 10 minutes (

Figure 9). After 10 minutes the cooking zone will automati-

cally return to the Hi setting. The Pb setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking zone by turning the knob to Hi.

Hot Element (HE) Surface Window Message

When using a cooking zone, the cooktop may become very hot. After turning any cooking zone off, the cooktop may remain hot for some time. The corresponding HE (

Figure 11) message displays until the cooktop has cooled.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)

An error message will display flashing Er (

Figure 12) at

power up or after a power failure for any surface control knob not in the OFF position. If a power failure should occur, set all surface control knobs to OFF (

Figure 8). This

will reset the surface controls.

Review “Setting the Clock” on page 20 to reset the clock. Once the surface controls have been set to off and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the Er message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized service provider for assistance.

Lockout Window Message

The (- -) message appears whenever Lockout, self clean, or Sabbath is active (

Figure 13). See “Setting Oven Lockout

Feature”

on page 22 for more details.

IMPORTANT

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Operating Induction Cooking Zones

Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.

The suggested settings provided in Table 1 may vary slightly, depending on the cookware design, quality and amount of food being prepared.

Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with magnetic base material and meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements.

Pan Preheat Recommendations

Be aware that induction cooking may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil compared to cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner.

Whenever using the cooktop or oven always pay close attention to all food items cooking and remain very attentive until all the cooking processes are complete.

To operate induction cooking zones:

1. Place induction cookware on the desired cooking zone.

2. To activate a cooking zone, push in and turn the control

knob in either direction to the desired setting.

3. Adjust the power level by turning the knob. This will increase or decrease the power level in 0.5 increments from 1.5 to 9.5. Lo is the lowest power level available.

4. Once cooking is complete, turn the control knob off and remove cookware.

Cooktop Operational Noises

The electronic processes involved with induction cooking may create some background noises. You may hear a slight “buzzing” sound when cooking on the cooktop.

These noises are part of the induction cooking process are considered normal.

Some cookware will “buzz” depending on the construction or base material. The buzz may be more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold. As the pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The noise will also decrease if the power level setting is reduced.

• The suggested power level settings are based on cooking with medium sized pans with lids. Be sure to make any further setting adjustments needed for best surface cooking results.

• 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.

NOTE

Remember that induction surface cooking will initially heat the cooking utensil very quickly.

When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are more noticeable while cooking at the power boost level. Very loud noises are not part of normal induction cooking.

IMPORTANT

NOTE

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Warmer Zone

The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep foods (vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates) at serving temperature (

Figure 14).

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 remove.

• Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use.

Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Figure 14: Warmer zone cooktop location

Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the warmer zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality.

WARNING

IMPORTANT

• Unlike radiant surface elements, induction cooking zones will not glow red when they are hot. The glass surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

• Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect hands from burns.

• The cooking zones may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot from residual heat and burns may occur if the cooktop 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 the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite if placed too close to hot cookware.

• The hot element (HE) message will appear in the display windows once a heating element or cooking zone is turned off and will remain on until the heating surface area or areas have cooled sufficiently.

• 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 may damage the ceramic cooktop.

• If the cookware is moved from the center of any active induction cooking zone, the pan sensor will detect the situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected cooking zone display window will flash until the cookware is moved back to center of cooking zone.

• If the cookware is placed back properly centered on the cooking zone, the zone will resume heating. The cooking zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the cooking zone will automatically shut off.

• The warmer zone produces radiant heat, but will not

glow red when hot.To avoid possible burns always use potholders or oven mitts when moving food to and from the warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled.

• 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.

CAUTION

BEFORE SETTING OVEN 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 the oven vent.

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

Types of Oven Racks

• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be

used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about a half rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions.

• The bottom oven rack (some models) allows you to maximize oven cooking space by using the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.

• The

“Effortless™ Oven Rack System” is described on

page 17.

Arranging, Removing, and Replacing 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.

Completely remove all oven racks and any cooking accessories from the oven before performing a self clean function in order to avoid damage to the racks. If oven racks are not removed before a self clean, they will lose their special coating and will no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.

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.Remove all racks and accessories prior to starting a self clean cycle.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Effortless™ Oven Rack System

Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system that automatically extends the oven rack to assist in access to your food items. This rack extends when the oven door is opened or closed (

Figure 18).

Remove all oven racks and accessories before starting a self clean cycle. If the oven racks are left in the oven during the self clean cycle, the gliding ability of the Effortless™ Oven Rack system will be damaged, and oven racks will loose their shiny finish and may turn blue. Remove all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in

“Care and Cleaning” beginning on

page 37.

Make sure the oven and oven racks are completely cool before attempting to assemble or disassemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts.

Convection Cooking

Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven (Figure 27). The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Some food may cook faster and more evenly with convection bake.

Benefits of convection cooking:

• Multiple rack baking.

• Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.

• No special pans or bakeware needed.

Setting Convection Bake

This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be programmed for convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F (77ºC to 288ºC) with a default temperature of 350°F (177ºC).

To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to 375°F (190ºC):

1. Arrange the interior oven racks.

2. Press convect. Convect and bake will flash and the default temperature of 350º will appear in the display.

3. Press 3 7 5. convect and bake will keep flashing, and 375º will appear in the display.

4. Press start. The actual oven temperature and the fan

icon will be displayed. A beep will sound once the oven temperature reaches 375°F. The display will show 375°,

CONVECT, BAKE, and the fan icon.

5. Place food in the oven.

Convection baking tips:

• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,

cakes, biscuits, and breads. Use convection baking for best results.

• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the food is in the center of the oven. When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in

Figure 29. Allow at least 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm)

space between cookware for proper air circulation.

• For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (

Figure 28).

• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no (or very low) sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food.

• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. You may reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

• Do not open the oven door often. Doing so will reduce oven temperature and may increase cooking time.

Warm is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. Keep warm turns on the warm feature, will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C), and will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking.

After 3 hours, keep warm will shut the oven off. The feature may be used without any other cooking operations or can be set to turn on automatically after a bake time or delay start.

Keep Warm tips:

• Always start with hot food. Do not use keep warm to

heat cold food.

• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic containers may need higher temperature settings compared to food in regular containers.

• Do not open the oven door too often, it will allow hot air to escape and the food to cool.

• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to increase moisture content.

To set keep warm:

1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in the oven.

2. Press keep warm. “HLd” will appear in the display.

3. Press start. If start is not touched within 25 seconds the request to activate keep warm will be canceled.

4. To cancel keep warm at any time, press off.

To set keep warm to turn on automatically:

1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in the oven.

Set the oven properly for bake time or delay start.

2. Press keep warm. If no key is touched within 25 seconds, the request to turn on the warm feature will be cancelled.

3. Press start. HLd will disappear and the temperature will be displayed. Keep warm is set to turn on automatically after timed bake has finished.

Setting Broil

Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The broil pan and insert used together allow grease to drain away from the high heat of the oven broiler. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied, they may be purchased online from http://www.frigidaire.com.

To set broil at 500°F (260ºC):

1. Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling. If using a searing

grill, first preheat oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the broiler element. Close the oven door.

3. Press broil. 550º will appear in the display. If a lower temperature is desired, press the desired temperature before continuing. The minimum broil temperature setting is 400°F (204ºC). Press start. The oven will begin to broil. 5 0 0º will appear in the display.

4. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

5. To stop or cancel the broil function, press off.

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5

minutes. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

Use potholders or oven mitts when using a hot oven. When broiling, the oven interior, racks and cooktop will become hot enough to cause burns. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan or insert with aluminum foil; the exposed grease could ignite.

OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Convection Broil

Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. The convection broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed for convection broiling at any temperature between 400°F to 550°F (204ºC to 288ºC) with a default temperature of 550°F (288ºC). See

Table 4.

To set a convection broil temperature of 500°F (260ºC):

1. Arrange oven racks first. Press convect; 350º will be displayed, and convect and bake will flash.

2. Press convect two more times; 550º will be displayed and convect and broil will flash.

3. Press 5 0 0.

4. Press start. CONVECT, BROIL, 500º, and the fan icon

will be displayed.

5. After 5 minutes of preheat, place food in the oven.

Convection broiling tips:

• For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5

minutes.

• Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

• Always use a broiler pan and insert when broiling. It keeps grease away from the high heat of the broil element.

• Do not use a broil pan without the insert. Do not cover an insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.

• If using a searing grill (available by mail order), preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before placing your meat. Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.

• Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum recommended time.

Setting Convection Roast

This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. Convection roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the bake element, convection element, broil element, and fan to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed for convection roasting at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F (77ºC to 288ºC) with a default temperature of 350°F (177ºC).

To set a convection roast temperature of 375°F:

1. Arrange oven racks and place food in the oven.

2. Press convect; 350º will be displayed; Convect and bake will flash.

3. Press convect again. 350º will be displayed, and convect and roast will flash.

4. Enter 3 7 5 using the number keys.

5. Press start; The actual oven temperature will be

displayed. Convect, roast, and the fan icon will be displayed. The bake, broil, and convection elements will also cycle for a better heat distribution.

Convection roasting tips:

• Use a broiler pan and insert, as well as a roasting rack

(available online from http://www.frigidaire.com). The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the insert will help prevent spatters. The roasting rack will hold the meat.

• It’s not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack. Use a deep pan instead.

• Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the insert in the broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil.

• Pull the rack out to the stop position before removing food. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.

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.

The preheat tone will not sound for this feature.

OVEN CONTROLS

Cooking with Meat Probe

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.

When set correctly, the probe feature will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature.

When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which 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.

To properly place the probe:

• Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the

center of the thickest part of meat or food (

Figure 32).

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 (

Figure 33).

Figure 31: Using the probe

• Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable

or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in Figure 31.

• To avoid the possibility of burns after cooking with the probe, use care when disconnecting the probe from the receptacle or food. The probe may be hot. Be sure to always use a pot holder to protect your hands.

• Before starting self clean, verify that the probe is removed from the oven interior. The high temperatures during self clean may damage or destroy the probe.

• To avoid damaging the probe, defrost frozen foods completely before inserting.

Setting the Sabbath Feature

(For use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)

The bake time and start keys are used to set the Sabbath feature.

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at http:\\www.star-k.org.

Bake time and delay start pressed together set the Sabbath feature.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.

If the oven light is needed during the Sabbath, press before activating the Sabbath feature. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath feature is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath feature is turned off. If the oven light needs to be off, turn the oven light off before activating the Sabbath feature.

To program the oven to begin baking immediately and activate the Sabbath feature (example: baking at 350°F):

1. Be sure that the clock is set with the correct time of day.

2. Place the food in the oven.

3. Press bake. The display shows 3 5 0º.

4. Press start. The actual oven temperature appears in

the display.

5. The oven will turn on and begin heating.

6. Press and hold both bake time and delay start for at least 3 seconds. SAb will appear in the display. Once SAb appears in the display, the oven control will no

longer beep or display any further changes, and the oven is properly set for the Sabbath feature.

7. The oven may be turned off at any time by first pressing off (this will turn the oven off only).

8. To turn off the Sabbath feature, press and hold both the bake time and delay start keys for at least 3 seconds. SAb will disappear from the display.

If power fails while using the Sabbath feature:

Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven will shut off. When power is returned, SF (Sabbath Failure) will be displayed, and the oven will not turn back on automatically. If your food was nearly fully cooked, you may allow the trapped heat in the oven to finish the cooking process. Otherwise, you should remove the food when the power failure occurs because you may only start the oven once during the Sabbath/Jewish holidays.

To turn off the Sabbath feature:

Press and hold both the bake time and delay start keys for at least 3 seconds. SAb will disappear from the display and the oven and cooktop may again be used with all normal functions.

It is advised to not activate any cooking function other than bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The oven lights, start time and end time may only be set before entering the Sabbath mode.

If setting the oven control for a bake or delayed bake time, do so here. If not, skip this step and continue to Step 6. For

“Setting Delay Start” , see page 26. For “Setting Bake Time” , see page 25. Remember the oven

will turn off after using bake time or delay start and may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish holidays. The maximum bake time is 5 hours and 59 minutes.

IMPORTANT

Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Doing so may result in food borne illness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

• The cooktop is locked during the Sabbath mode.

• You may change the oven temperature once baking

starts by pressing bake and the number keys for the new temperature. For example, to change from 350°F to 425°F, press 4 2 5. Then, press start twice.

The display will not show temperature changes or sound any audible tones when the oven is set with the Sabbath feature.

CAUTION

NOTE

OVEN CONTROLS

Adjusting Oven Temperature

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

To adjust the oven temperature higher:

1. Press and hold bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear

in the display.

2. To increase the temperature, use the number keys to enter the desired change. For example, for 30°F, press 3 0. The temperature may be increased as much as 35°F (19°C).

3. Press start to accept the temperature change and the display will return to the time of day. Press off to reject the change if necessary.

To adjust the oven temperature lower:

1. Press bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear in the

display.

Steam Clean

The steam clean feature offers a chemical free and timesaving method to assist in the routine cleaning of your oven. Steam clean may be used before manually cleaning the oven to help loosen soils on the oven bottom.

To set a steam clean cycle:

1. Oven should be at room temperature. If the oven tem-

perature is above the room temperature, steam clean will not start. Be sure the oven is cool. Remove all racks and oven accessories.

2. Scrape or wipe loose debris from the oven bottom.

3. Pour 8 oz (227 ml) distilled or filtered water onto the

oven bottom (

Figure 36). Close the oven door.

4. Press steam clean. StCn will show in the display (Figure 37).

5. Press start.

6. Steam clean is a 20 minute cycle. The display will show

the time remaining.

7. An alert will sound at the end of the cycle, and the End message will show in the display. Press off to return to the clock.

8. When the steam clean cycle is complete, stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor when opening the oven door. The cycle includes a cool-down period, so you may immediately use a soft cloth or sponge to remove any remaining water.

9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket (

Figure 38).

For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom. Removal of especially stubborn or baked-on soils may require a manual cleaning.

See “Cleaning Various

Parts of Your Oven” on page 37.

Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry. Open door to cambered position and allow to air dry.

Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water) and will leave deposits on the oven cavity. If this occurs, wipe cavity with vinegar or lemon juice. Use distilled or filtered water.

If the door is opened during the steam clean cycle, a beep will sound and d-0 will show in the display. Close the oven door. Keep oven door closed during steam clean cycle.

Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delay start. If steam clean results are not satisfactory, run a self clean.

See “Self Cleaning Operation”on page 35.

Do not add ammonia, oven cleaners, or any other household cleaners or chemicals to the water used in the steam clean cycle.

Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns.

OVEN CONTROLS

Self Cleaning Operation

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures that are well above normal cooking temperatures. These temperatures eliminate soils completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash that can be wiped away with a damp cloth.

What to Expect During Self Clean

When the oven is set to run a self 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.

While in self clean mode, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal.

Odors are normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

If heavy spills are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self cleaning cycle.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any cooking

accessories from the oven to avoid damage to the racks. If oven racks are not removed before a self clean, they will lose their special coating and will no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity effortlessly.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand the high self clean temperatures.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

• Do not spray oven cleaners or protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom with soap and water. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on.

• Remove any excessive spills from the oven cavity before starting the self cleaning 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 a high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling, etc.) to remain on surfaces. They may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Take care not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket or use any cleaning substances on the oven door gasket (

Figure 38). Doing so could cause damage and

reduce the efficiency of the oven’s performance.

IMPORTANT

• Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance. During self clean, the range may become very hot to the touch.

• 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.

• Use caution when opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be very hot. Stand to the side of the oven door when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

• Do not force the oven door open when self clean is active. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after self clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

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

CAUTION

OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Self Clean Cycle Duration

The self clean key controls the self cleaning feature. If you plan to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, allow time for the oven to cool 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.

The automatic timer will turn the oven on and off at the time you select in advance.

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 cleaning cycle to start immediately and shut off automatically:

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day and

the oven door is closed.

2. Press self clean. CLn and 3:00 HR will show in the display. The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period (default self cleaning cycle time). If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press self clean multiple times to toggle between 2, 3, or 4 hours.

3. Press start. door Loc will appear, a beep will sound, and the word DOOR and the icon will flash; CLn will remain on in the display.

4. As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door lock will begin to close automatically. Once the door is locked, the DOOR indicator light and will stop flashing and remain on, and the oven icon will appear in the display. Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door to lock completely.

When the self clean cycle is completed:

1. The oven will beep 3 times and HOT will appear in the

display. The time of day, the word DOOR, and the icon will remain in the display.

2. Once the oven has cooled for approximately 1 hour, door OPn will appear, and the word DOOR and the

icon will flash until the door unlocks. The door can be opened, and the clock display will show the time of day.

To stop or Interrupt a self cleaning cycle:

1. Press off.

2. The oven door can only be opened after the oven has

cooled down for about 1 HOUR. door OPn will appear, and the word DOOR and the icon will flash until the door is unlocked. The oven door can then be opened, and the clock display will revert back to the time of day.

Delay Start Self Clean

To set the control for delayed self clean (example: 3 hour self clean cycle to start at 4:30):

1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day and

the oven door is closed.

2. Press self clean. CLn and 3:00 HR will show in the display. The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period. If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press self

clean multiple times to toggle between 2, 3, or 4 hours.

CAUTION

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible.

Surface Type Recommendation

Painted and plastic control knobs Painted body parts Painted decorative trims Aluminum, Plastic, and Vinyl trim

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply liquid detergent directly onto soil and let soak for 30-60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on these surfaces; they can scratch.

Control panel Control keypad membrane Control panel trim

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off, activate control lock (some models) and if needed remove knobs from panel (some models). Do not use abrasive cleaners on controls or trim; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess water before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a cloth or sponge and be sure to squeeze excess water before wiping the control panel.

Stainless Steel (some models) Clean stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with

clean water and dry with soft clean cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Rinse cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Smudge Proof™ Stainless Steel (some models)

Your oven finish may be Smudge Proof™ Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth, or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use store bought cleaners like stainless steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia.

Porcelain enamel parts

Porcelain enamel broiler pan and insert (available by mail order)

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clear water and ammonia. Cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and damp cloth. Scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or porcelain may become damaged during future heating.

Oven interior Remove excessive spills from oven cavity bottom before starting self clean. Clean

any soils from oven frame and door liner outside the oven door gasket.

Oven racks Oven racks must be removed from oven cavity. Clean by using a mild, abrasive

cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.

Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door. Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self cleaning models the oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Ceramic Cooktop Refer to

“Cooktop Cleaning” and “Cooktop Maintenance” on page 38.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cooktop Maintenance

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 metal 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 ceramic-coated) with rough or dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• slide anything across the cooktop (

Figure 39).

• use cookware with dirt or dirt build-up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using.

• use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.

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

Cooktop Cleaning

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type 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 glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic type 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 (

Figure 40). Remove loosened soils with cooktop

cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the 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 cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Before manually cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.

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

Figure 39: Do not slide pan

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to off and the cooktop is cool.

Figure 40: Cooktop cleaning

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

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners

Protective liners—Do not use oven bottom liners or use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire. Using a foil liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results.

During self clean the oven temperature can become hot enough to melt aluminum cooking utensils or aluminum foil if left in the oven. This could result in permanent damage to the oven interior and porcelain finish.

Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips

To make cleaning easier, line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. Do not cover the insert with foil. To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soapfilled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the insert.

Replacing the Oven Light

The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven cavity and are protected by glass shields. The shields must be in place whenever the oven is in use (

Figure 42).

Replacing the oven interior light bulb:

1. Disconnect electrical power at the main source or

unplug the appliance.

2. Remove any/all oven racks that hinder access to the oven lights.

3. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn.

4. Pull the bulb straight out.

5. Replace defective bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25

watt appliance bulb.

6. Reinstall the oven light shield.

7. Reconnect power at the main source (or plug the

appliance back in).

8. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

• 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.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Figure 41: Broil pan and insert

WARNING

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing an oven light.

Do not touch the new bulb with your fingertips when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb. Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Solutions to Common Problems:

Before calling for service, review the list below to save time and expense. Problems and possible solutions are provided.

Problem Solution

Oven control panel beeps and displays F or E error codes.

Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press the off key to clear the error code. Press bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off power to the appliance, wait 5 minutes, and then reapply power. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake or broil again. If fault recurs, press off and call for service.

Poor baking results. Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven and

space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See

“Adjusting

Oven Temperature” on page 33 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold.

In your oven is cooking poorly, perform the following check: Press broil: 550 should be displayed. Place your hand near the handle on the oven door. Between the door and the control panel you should feel a rush of air on your hand. If so, your unit is functioning properly and you have had a power failure in your home. If no air rush happens, call a service technician to replace your cooling fan.

Appliance is not level Be sure floor is level, strong and stable enough to adequately support range. If floor is sagging

or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the oven rack is level.

Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily/ Inaccessible for service

Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can be lifted over carpet

Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.

Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using broil, see

“Setting Broil” on page 27.

Self clean does not work. Oven control not set properly. See “Self Cleaning Operation” on page 35.

Oven light does not work. Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See

“Replacing the Oven Light” on page 39.

Surface cookware seems too hot or not hot enough

Incorrect induction cooktop power level setting. Adjust power level setting higher or lower as needed.

Areas of discoloration with a metallic sheen

Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a ceramic glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms.

Brown streaks or specks on the cooktop.

Boil overs are cooked onto surface. Use razor blade scraper to remove soil.

See “Cooktop

Cleaning” on page 38.

Convection fan does not rotate. Oven door is open. Convection fan will turn off if oven door is opened when convection is

active. Close oven door.

Fan noise occurring after the oven is turned off.

Some models are equipped with a cooling fan that runs during the cooking process to cool internal electronic components. It is normal for this fan to continue to run for an extended period of time, even when the oven is off.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Metal marks on the cooktop. Sliding or scraping 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” on page 38.

Cooking zones do not glow when heating.

The induction cooking zones do not glow even when they are hot. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to induce heat directly to the cookware.

Induction cooking zone does not heat cookware or does not heat evenly

Be sure the correct surface control is activated for the cooking zone.

Be sure to use the correct cookware material type for induction cooking. Use cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer to use for induction cooking. If you’re not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for induction cooking.

Be sure to read about pan-sensing in the Induction Cooking section and correct any pansensing issues in the checklist provided. Use quality heavier gauge cookware.

Soil not completely removed after self clean.

Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on

“Self Cleaning Operation” on page 35.

Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean.

Failure to clean 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 are not in the self cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before starting the self cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

If self clean is performing poorly, perform the following check: Press broil: 550 should be displayed. Place your hand near the handle on the oven door. Between the door and the control panel you should feel a rush of air on your hand. If so, your unit is functioning properly and you have had a power failure in your home. If no air rush happens, call a service technician to replace the cooling fan.

Oven portion of appliance does not operate

Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature.

See “Running H/F 2”

in this manual or read the instructions “Entire appliance does not operate” in this checklist.
