Tips |
|
|
|
Baking |
|
|
Rack placement |
Follow the instructions in “Oven Control Features” 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. |
|
|
Bake or Convec- |
Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best performance, see |
tion Bake |
“Convection Bake” on page 22. |

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking |
Tips |
|
|
Food placement |
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation. |
|
|
|
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 Frigid- |
|
aire.com. |
|
|
|
Convection Cooking |
|
|
Convection |
Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more |
attributes |
evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven. |
|
Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once. |
|
|
Convection bake |
Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for |
|
convection baking. |
|
Preheat the oven for best results. |
|
|
Convection roast |
Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry. |
|
Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your |
|
recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not |
|
specify convection roasting time. |
|
Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food |
|
type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the |
|
food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained. |
|
Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery |
|
and home goods stores. |
|
Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. |
|
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly. |
|
When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch |
|
grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If you do not have one of these accesso- |
|
ries, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com. |

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Removing and Replacing the Glide Racks
The fully extendable Glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.
To remove - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Using one hand, reach through handle opening and grasp both the upper and lower portions of the glide rack as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Grasp both rack sections
While holding both sections, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached (Figure 4).
Figure 5: Remove and replace using both hands
The rack portions move independently and are difficult to handle unless held together.
To replace - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position.
Important: 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.
Figure 4: Pull rack to stop position
Using both hands, lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven (Figure 5). Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack.
IMPORTANT
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the oven with aluminum foil or with any other materials or oven liners. Doing so will alter heat distribution and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During clean the oven temperatures will be hot enough to melt foil.
CAUTION
Remove all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual. Never pick up hot oven racks or parts.
