BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Gas surface burner types

The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with di erent BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in large amounts increases as the burner size increases.

• Small burners are best used for low-ﬂ ame heating of small amounts of food.

• Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs.

• The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is located at the right front position on the cooktop.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and set the ﬂ ame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow ﬂ ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Burner Cap

Burner Head

Assembly of the Burner Caps

Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.

2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.

Important: The burner head has a hole which ﬁ ts over the ignitor. Make sure the head ﬁ ts snugly before placing the burner caps.

Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed.

CAUTION

• Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas oriﬁ ce holder opening.

• Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use.

• Never place ﬂ ammable items on the cooktop.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will inﬂ uence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”.

Check for ﬂ atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have ﬂ at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.

Figure 2: Testing cookware

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

• Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting).

• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (see Aluminum).

• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.

• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

• Glass - Slow heat conductor.

• 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.

Figure 3: Proper cookware

• Curved and warped pans.

• Cookware larger than element by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is much smaller

than the element.

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the element. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two di erent surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

Page 15

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Install Burner Grates

To install burner grates, place the grates ﬂ at-side down and align them into the cooktop recess..

Figure 4: Grate installation

IMPORTANT

• Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.

• Grates should rest ﬂ ush against each other and against the sides of the recess.

• Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining.

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 procedures.

• Use only a completely ﬂ at bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is ﬂ at. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.

• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops and to center canners on the burner grates.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.

• Use the highest heat setting when ﬁ rst 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.

Page 16

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Setting surface controls

The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many di erent sized surface burners.

It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and ﬂ ame size appropriate for the cookware size.

• The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.

• Small burners are best used for low-ﬂ ame heating of small amounts of food.

• Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.

Setting a surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner grate.

2. Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 1).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas ﬂ ame.

4. Once the surface burner has a ﬂ ame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired ﬂ ame size setting. Adjust the ﬂ ame as needed using the knob markings.

CAUTION

Do not place ﬂ ammable items such as plastic

wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch ﬁ re if placed too close to the surface burners.

Figure 5: Surface control knob

NOTES

• When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.

• In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners may be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface control knob to lite. Once the burner ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the desired ﬂ ame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Set proper burner ﬂ ame size

The color of the ﬂ ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good ﬂ ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of ﬂ ame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if ﬂ ame is yellow-orange.

For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a guide for determining proper ﬂ ame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).

For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cooking with a griddle (some models)

Flame size Type of cooking

High ﬂ ame Start most foods; bring water

to a boil; pan broiling

Medium ﬂ ame Maintain a slow boil; thicken

sauces, gravies; steaming

Low ﬂ ame Keep foods cooking; poaching;

stewing

These settings are based on medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Table 1: Recommended ﬂ ame settings for cooking

CAUTION

Never extend the ﬂ ame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher ﬂ ame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the ﬂ ame (“Figure 7: Proper burner ﬂ ame” on page 17).

Figure 6: Griddle

The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that require large ﬂ at surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking di erent foods at the same time.

After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher.

If you would like to purchase a griddle, you can order one from Frigidaire.com.

Using the griddle:

Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Page 18

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close o the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Figure 9: Oven vent

WARNING

Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁ re. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Flat or O set Oven Racks

Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.

To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.

To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny ﬁ nish.

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

Self Clean

Self Clean cleans with very high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), eliminating soils completely or reducing them to very ﬁ ne powdered ashes you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.

The clean cycle lasts for 3 hours.

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

CAUTION

• Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

• Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat su ciently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or ﬁ re when subjected to high temperatures.

• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie ﬁ llings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes given o during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

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

Page 29

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the ﬁ rst self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is ﬂ ashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Self Clean

To set self clean:

Cleaning the surface burners

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before turning o all surface burners and allowing them to cool.

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualiﬁ ed Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven ﬂ ame.

To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:

• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth.

• Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

CARE AND CLEANING

Burner Cap

CAUTION

To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps.

Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.

To clean burner heads:

1. Remove the burner cap and the burner head (see Figure 12). Clean with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly

2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.

3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head.

4. Use a needle or ﬁ ne wire to clean out the ignition port.

5. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, clean cloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.

6. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner head has fully seated back into place and the burner cap is properly seated on the burner heads. You can wiggle the cap to test placement, neither the cap nor the head should slide out of position (see “Assembly of the Burner Caps” on page 13).

CARE AND CLEANING

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning speciﬁ c parts of the oven.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie ﬁ lling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the e ort required for major cleaning later.

CAUTION

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

Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven

The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.

To remove heavy soil:

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.

3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners

WARNING

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air ﬂ ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a ﬁ re hazard.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the e ectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁ re.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.

• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air ﬂ ow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.

Replacing the Oven Light

CAUTION

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

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power o at the main source or unplug the appliance.

2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.

NOTE

Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your ﬁ ngers when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb.

4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).

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

Self-Clean Problems

Problem Cause / Solution

Self clean does not work. Oven control not set properly. See “Setting Self Clean” on page 28.

Oven racks discolored or do not slide easily.

Soil not completely removed after self clean.

The oven control display shows "SPr" and self-clean is not working.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Remove oven racks from oven cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.

Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on “Self Cleaning” on page

27.

Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills 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 sti nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display will show “SPr" for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours).
