IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS 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 or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware.

Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware may expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking areas will improve efficiency.

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 of the utensil.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 — Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance 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 unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heatsensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner 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. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

•Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains 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.

Gas surface burner types

The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different 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-flame he a tin g of small amounts of food.

• Standa rd burners can b e used for most surf ace 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 flame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop 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 range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop.

Do not straddle cookware over two burner areas unless the cookware is specifically designed for that purpose.

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 different 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 flame 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-flame 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 (

3. Release the surface control knob and rot ate to th e LITE position ( steady gas flame.

• 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. T o light a surface burne r, 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 flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Set proper burner flame size

CAUTION

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame 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 flame size for various types of cooking (

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.

The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that require large flat surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking different 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 me dium 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 preve nt even heat distribution.

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United Sta tes 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 seating when first 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 ins tructions 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.

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 11: 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.

Types of oven racks

at oven rack

Figure 12: 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.

• Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean

• To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not

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.

attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

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 21). 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 21).

CAUTION

Steam Clean (Model B)

The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical free and time saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and light soils.

• Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other abrasive household cleaners to the water used for Steam Clean.

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

Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start. Steam Clean produces best result s when star ted with a cool oven.

To set a Steam Clean cycle:

1. Remove all racks and oven accessories.

2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven

bottom.

3. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom.(

Figure 22) Close oven door.

8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor.

9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket ( door glass while cleaning cavity.

Figure 23: Clean around the oven door gasket Notes:

• Opening the oven door during the steam clean cycle

prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.

• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.

• A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.

• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill out while wiping out.
