IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame SizeAdjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency. Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the
flame so it does not extend beyond the edge o the utensil.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface BurnersTo reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
SettingsBoilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective LinersDo not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturers recommendations for cooktop use.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When

Surface Cooking
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking. For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control 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 undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Proper Burner Adjustments
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.
Placement of Burner Caps and Trim Rings
1. Place the trim rings over each burner, matching the trim ring size with the burner size.
2. Place the burner cap on each burner, again matching the cap size to the burner size. The caps for the Standard Burner and Power Burners have locating tabs that align with slots in the burner base. The cap for the Simmer Burner has an inner locating ring which locates the burner cap in the center of the burner.
4. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
5. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

Surface Cooking
The controls shown below may not look identical to the Surface Controls knobs on your range; They are only representational.
Setting Surface Controls
Your range may be equipped with any combination of the following burners: Simmer Burner, this burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc. Standard Burner, can be used for most all surface cooking needs. Large Burner, the larger burner is best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.
Do not place plastic items such as 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 wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push the Surface Control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the Surface Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can 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. After burner lights push in and turn knob to desired setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Setting Warmer Drawer Controls (if equipped)
Use the warmer drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner plates.
The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force when opening and closing the drawer.
Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:  In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both
under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish under).
In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items
and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates). Set the warmer drawer rack as shown below.
To Operate the Warmer Drawer
Your range is equipped with a warmer drawer. The purpose of the warmer drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.
All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.

Oven Cleaning
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well­ventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning. Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self­cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:
1. Push CANCEL.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.

General Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Range
Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is cool. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the effort required for major cleanings later.
Surfaces Aluminum (Trim Pieces) & Vinyl
Glass, Painted and Plastic Body Parts, Control Knobs and Decorative Trim Pieces
Control Panels
Porcelain Enamel Burner Grates, Cooktop Surface, Below Cooktop, Warmer Drawer, Door Liner and Oven Bottom
How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built­up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60
minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above. Squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft, then push the knob(s) into place.
Clean burner grates, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO
NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.

General Cleaning
(continued)
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
Note: The burner cap assembly refers to all parts of the sealed burner unit (burner cap, burner pan (some models), trim ring (some models), locating tab, burner base and electrode).
To Clean the Cooktop
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Clean the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap Assembly, Trim Ring (some models), Burner Pan (some models) and Burner Base
The contoured well areas, burner cap assembly, trim ring (some models), burner pan (some models) and burner base should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. See instructions below.
To Clean the Contoured Well Areas
The contoured well is a recessed area located around each burner unit. If a spill occurs in one of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
To Remove the Burner Cap Assembly
The burner cap assembly parts differ per model. Your assembly will consist of one of the following combinations: burner cap and trim ring; burner cap and burner pan; or burner cap, trim ring and burner pan. Remove in the following order: (1st) burner cap, (2nd) trim ring and (3rd) burner pan. Do not operate
the burners without the burner cap assembly in place.
Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.
Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized Frigidaire Distributor or Qualified Agency.
To Clean the Burner Cap, Burner Pan (some models) and Trim Ring (some models)
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps, trim rings and burner pans.
To Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes.Use care to prevent damage to the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or damage the electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burnerDO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING. Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly. If the orifice gas opening becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap assembly in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly
Make sure the burner cap assembly is thoroughly dry before placing back on the burner.
1. Lower burner pan (some models) into place around the burner base.
2. Replace trim ring (some models).
3. Find the locating tabs on the burner cap and place in the locating slots in the burner base. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
4. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light after cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.
