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.

Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching surfaces in
this area when the oven is on may cause severe
burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items

on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.

Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in their desired locations while oven is cool.

If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact a hot heating element in
the oven. 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 cookware and utensils before moving

the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler

pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.

Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as

suggested in the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or

fire.

• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the oven

racks.

Save these instructions for future reference.

Important Instructions for Cleaning Your Oven Grounding Instructions

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be
sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool.
Cleaning a hot range can cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular

attention to the area around each surface element.
Do not allow grease to accumulate.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommended

directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and

aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning

hoods.

Self Cleaning Ovens

Use the self clean cycle to clean only the parts
listed in this manual. Before using self clean,
remove the broiler pan, any food, utensils, and

cookware from the oven. Remove oven racks
unless otherwise instructed.

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any

kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven.

Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Do not rub,
damage, or move the gasket.

Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self clean cycle of any range.

Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an
adapter plug, extension cord, or remove grounding

prong from the power cord. Failure to follow this
warning may cause serious injury, fire, or death.

Induction Cooking Zones

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

m

Figure 1: Typical induction cooktop

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."

Induction Cookware

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

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.

Figure 2: Testing a pan for magnetic properties
For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recom-

mended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on
the induction cooking zones. Be sure to follow all the manu-

facturer'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.

Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor auto-
matically 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.

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 characteris-
tics will vary depending on quality of base material.
Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid
scratching the ceramic cooktop.

Tips For Using the Cooking Zones

Moving Cookware on a Smoothtop

• 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.

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.

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.

'\

\\

Figure 3: Checking the pan for flatness

Figure 4: Do not slide pan

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.

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.

iFS i

Figure 5: Power boost power level setting

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.

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 below 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

Figure 7: Induction pan size requirements
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

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.

Home Canning

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. !:

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 informa-

tion 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 recom-
mended 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.

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 the suggested cooking zone power level settings table"

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.

Typical induction cooktop controls

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. Ifa power failure should
occur, set all surface control knobs to OFF (Figure 8). This

will reset the surface controls.

Also, reset the clock (page 20). 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.

Operating Induction Cooking Zones

Pan Preheat Recommendations

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

The suggested settings provided in the table below 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.

Table 1: Suggested power level settings

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.

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:

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

,

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.

,

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.

,

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.

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.

Warmer Zone

Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than

1 hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food i
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.

The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep foods (vegeta-
bles, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries
and oven-safe dinner plates) at serving temperature
(Figure 14).

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

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.

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 recom-
mended for oven and cooktop use.

The hot element (liE) message will appear in the
display windows once a heating element or cooking !i

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.

• Ifthe 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.

• Ifthe cookware is placed back properly centered on !;
the cooking zone, the zone will resume heating. The il
cooking zone will remember the power level setting
for up to 3 minutes before the cooking zone will auto-
matically shut off. :i

Warmer Zone Temperature Selection

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.

Arranging, Removing, and Replacing Racks

Completely remove all oven racks and any cooking
accessories from the oven before performing a self clean i:

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 :_i
burns.Remove all racks and accessories prior to starting

a self clean cycle. :i

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.

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.

' TM

The 'Effortless Oven Rack System" (some models) is
described on page 17.

Effortless TMOven Rack System

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 Effort-
less TMOven 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 instruc-
tions 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 Effort-
less TMOven Rack system. Never pick up hot oven racks
or parts.

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 below).

Allow at least 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) space between

cookware for proper air circulation. Set one position
lower if using offset racks.

Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature 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

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.

Figure 27: Air circulation in convection function
Setting Convection Bake

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.

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 (77°C to 288°C) with a default
temperature of 350°F (177°C).

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

baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this

feature is designed to display the actual converted

(reduced) temperature in the display. Convection convert
may only be used with a convection bake cooking mode. It
can be used with a delay start and bake time. If convection
conversion is used with the bake time and delay start

features, Check food (CF) will display when 75% of the

bake time has completed. At this time the oven control will
sound three long beeps at regular intervals until baking time
is finished. The control will display End and continue to
beep at regular intervals until off is pressed.

To set the oven for convection bake with a standard

Bake, broil, and convection elements will cycle for better

heat distribution and faster, more even cooking.

Setting Delay Start

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

Bake, convect, bake time, and delay start keys control
the delayed start feature. The automatic timer of delayed
start will turn the oven on and off when you select in

advance.

To program the oven for a delayed start time with the
bake function. (example: baking at 375°F for 30
minutes, starting at 5:30):

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

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

3. Press bake. The display will show 350° .

Keep Warm
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.

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.

Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied, they may
be purchased online from http://www.frigidaire.com. An
optional searing grill is also available.

To set broil at 500°F (260°C):

Should an oven fire occur, keep oven door closed and
turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda
on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or

flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can

cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

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.

1. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan
on the rack. Center the broiler pan directly under the

broiler element and close the oven door.

.

Press broil. 5 5 0° 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(204°C).

.

Press start. The oven will begin to broil. 5 0 0° will
appear in the display. Broil with the oven door closed.

.

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

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

Broiling tips:

• Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the

broil element.

• Preheat for 5 minutes before broiling. Ifusing a searing
grill, first preheat oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

*Use an offset rack if you choose to use an oven rack in the top position. Watch food closely and check for desired doneness.
** The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organ-

isms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for
medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77°C).
