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

shiny bakeware. Insulated bakeware is designed for

baking in gas ovens.

Increase the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) when using insulated bakeware.

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 17.

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.

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced

• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot diameter to element size.

• Curved and warped pans.

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

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is much smaller

than the element.

IMPORTANT

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illus trated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good con tact with the entire surface of the heating element (see

Figure 2).

Figure 1: Testing cookware

Figure 1).

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.

Figure 2: Proper cookware

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-en amel 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 manu facturer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware.

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

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

CAUTION

NOTE

IMPORTANT

About the Radiant Surface Elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

• Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element sur face may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.

• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping 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.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on.

Figure 3: On indicator light

A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after the burner is turned off until the surf ace has cooled to a safe temperature.

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.

• Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the

“Before You Call” checklist section of this Use and

Care Guide.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.

• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element may still be hot and burns may occur if the element 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 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.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

Medium (5 - 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces

and gravies or steam vegetables Medium Low (2 - 4) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew Low (1) Low temperature cooking Low (LO) Keep warm, melt

Table 1: Suggested se ttings for radiant elements

Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the radiant surface element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.

• 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.

• The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when finished cooking is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain on AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF” position and will stay on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning proce dures.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is flat. 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 first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

• 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.

WARNING

CAUTION

oset oven rack

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 off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. S team or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

Figure 6: Oven vent

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 fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

• 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 finish.

• 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.

Types of oven racks

at oven rack

Figure 7: Oven rack types

• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs

and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional step down positions from the standard flat rack design. The offset design positions the base of the rack about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in most oven rack positions. To maximize oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack in the lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of meat.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset 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.

Setting Quick Bake (some models)

Quick Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. Meats cooked with Quick Bake are crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods can be cooked faster and more evenly with Quick Bake.

The oven may be programmed to Quick Bake at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 288°C). The factory preset Quick Bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).

Benefits of the Quick Bake feature

• Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster , saving time and energy.

• Multiple rack baking.

Baking Tips

• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

• When using 2 oven racks place racks in positions 3 and 5 for and position cookware as shown in

• For single rack baking use rack position 4.

Roasting Tips

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

IMPORTANT

Self Clean (models A and C)

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with temperatures well above normal cooking temperatures which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperature much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Oder is also normal because the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.

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

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

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

Adhere to the following self clean precautions:

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings

in or around any part of the oven interior.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 16). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the gasket.

• Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

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

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories. If the oven racks are not removed, they will lose their special coating properties and no longer slide in and out of the oven cavity easily.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed 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 tem pe ra tures.

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

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

Figure 16).

• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or compo

nents underneath to damage.

• Never immerse a surface element in water.

• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface

elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal ends when replacing surface elements after cleaning.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installa tion of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

IMPORTANT

Cleaning drip bowls

Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned-on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water (1/2 cu p ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

To replace drip bowls and surface elements:

1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the

opening in the drip bowl.

2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold-down clip, align the element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold-down clip, and snap into place.

3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with the terminal plug as shown.

4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to reduce the hazard of cookware sliding off the element.

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

• Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements under any circumstances.

• 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 on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to or perma nently damage the coil or cooktop.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION
