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 help you achieve the best results.

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.

Situation Recommendation

Baking

Rack placement Follow the instructions in particular oven mode starting in “Setting Oven Con-

trols” on page 18.

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 performance.

Bake or Convection Bake Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For

best performance, see “Convection Bake” on page 25.

Steam Bake For directions, tips, and beneﬁ ts of Steam Bake see “Steam Bake” on page

28.

Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air cir-

culation.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Material Recommendation

Broiling / Roasting

Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with an 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.

Convection Cooking

Convection attributes

Convection bake Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe

Convection roast Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most

Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven.

Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.

is written for convection baking.

Preheat the oven for best results.

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 the meat probe included 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.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

IMPORTANT

Your Frigidaire wall oven has many features that allow you to customize the way your oven works.

Take time to read this section for important safety information and to become familiar with the many menu option settings starting on page

17.

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 o the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

CAUTION

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 ﬁ nish.

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 Rack

needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

• 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. See glide rack instructions on next page.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

WARNING

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self-clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

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 bars of the glide rack.

Using both hands, lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack.

The rack portions move independently and are di cult 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.

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.

While holding both sections, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached.

Slow Cook (Single Oven / Lower Oven)

Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long period of time.

For best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position 2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various bakeware when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may need to be extended.

• Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour.

Slow cooking meats may result in the outside of the meat turning dark; this is normal.

Keep Warm (Upper Oven)

Keep Warm should only be used with foods that are already at serving temperatures. Keep warm will keep cooked foods warm and ready for serving after cooking has ﬁ nished.

Keep warm will keep the oven temperature at 140° F - 200° F (60°C - 93°C).

Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook foods that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the heating element.

WARNING

Should an oven ﬁ re occur, close the oven door and turn the oven o . If the ﬁ re continues, use a ﬁ re extinguisher. Do not put water or ﬂ our on the ﬁ re. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease ﬁ re to spread and cause personal injury.

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Important: Broiler pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil – the exposed grease could ignite.

To set broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F (288°C):

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning results, allow the oven to fully preheat before adding food.

2. Turn the Mode knob to Broil. The temperature display will show on, and the SET TEMP indicator will turn on with a setting of HI.

3. To change between the HI and Lo settings, use the - and + keys that become active.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air ﬂ ows around the food from all sides.

Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Beneﬁ ts of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking. Convection baking tips:

• Use Convection Bake for best results when baking cookies and cakes on 2 racks.

• For best results it is recommended to preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads and move pans to center of the racks.

• If your recipe is not written for convection baking, reduce the oven temperature by 25° or use Convection Convert option.

• No special pans or bakeware required.

• For cookies use the following racks:

• Single rack baking use 3 (glide rack).

• Two rack baking use 2 (ﬂ at) and 5 (glide).

• For baking cakes use the following rack positions and place bakeware as shown in Figure 4. In upper rack use position 5 (glide) or 6 (ﬂ at).

• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food items baked on pans with a dark ﬁ nish will cook faster.

• Leave oven lights o while baking.

To set convection bake with a default oven set temperature of 325°F (163°C):

1. Turn the Mode knob to CONV BAKE. The temperature display will show ---.

2. Turn the Temperature knob until the display shows 325°F (164°C). The display will show PREHEATING and the current temperature inside the oven.

Convection Roast

Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and elements to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and ﬂ avors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.

WARNING

CAUTION

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Convection Roasting tips:

• Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry.

• Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

Cooking with Food Probe (Single / Upper Oven)

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry.

The Food Probe works with the following oven modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air Fry, Convection Roast, and Steam Roast.

The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. The probe settings for how the oven behaves should be set ﬁ rst in the oven menu.

When active, the probe displays the internal food temperature which is visible in the display during the cooking process. This eliminates any guesswork or the need to open the oven door to check the thermometer.

For meats like poultry and roasts, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.

To set Food Probe:

1. Plug the food probe into the oven receptacle, the Food Probe indicator will come on.

2. Select a cooking mode on the Mode dial.

3. Select a temperature on the Temp dial.

4. The SET TEMP indicator turns on with a default value of 160°F, and the + and - keys come on.

CAUTION

Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

Proper placement of probe in food.

Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.

Insert

food

• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint.

• For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food.

• When cooking ﬁ sh, insert meat probe just above the gill.

5. Use the + and - keys to set the target internal temperature.

6. After a moment, the display will show the current internal temperature.

7. When the target temperature of the turkey (internal temperature) is reached, the oven will turn o , and the CHECK FOOD indicator will come on..

• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor into the thickest part of the breast.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

NOTE

During cooking, the internal food temperature will display in the screen. The oven temperature will be displayed at the top of the screen. To assure accuracy, do not remove the probe from the food or receptacle until the desired internal temperature is reached.

If the probe is removed from the receptacle only, the probe feature will cancel and the oven will turn o . If the probe is removed from the food only, the probe feature will remain active and may eventually generate a probe too hot message.

To change the target (internal food) temperature or the set oven temperature, use the + or - to

adjust the temperature.

IMPORTANT

Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or device could result in damage to the oven control, electronics, and the receptacle.

Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which vaporizes soils or reduces them to a ﬁ ne powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times between 2 and 4 hours.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or ﬁ re when subjected to high temperatures.

Important: Before starting self clean read all fol-

lowing caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle.

CAUTION

• Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

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

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes given o during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. 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 (page 40). These areas heat su ciently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

Figure 7: Clean around the oven door gasket

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the ﬁ rst self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is ﬂ ashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.

• When the clean time ﬁ nishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufﬁ ciently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

Important: The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are canceled. If cooking is canceled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned o and the oven lights are turned o . The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

It is recommended that any oven temperature modiﬁ cation made within an active Sabbath mode press the + or - key.

The temperature will increase or decrease with each press by 5°F or 1°C and the change will be accepted automatically.

WARNING

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, ﬁ sh, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator ﬁ rst. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when ﬁ nished cooking.

Important:

• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. When the Sabbath feature is active, only the + and - keys and OFF will function. ALL OTHER KEYS should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.

• You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Use the + and - keys to raise or lower the oven temperature. Each press of an arrow key will raise or lower the temperature by 5°F (1°C).

• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.

• The oven will shut-o automatically after completing a bake time and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.

To activate Sabbath Mode:

1. Use the Mode and Temp dials to set the oven for the desired function.

2. Press and hold the light key for 3 seconds to activate Sabbath Mode. SAb shows in the dis- play.

To exit Sabbath Mode, press and hold the light key for 3 seconds.

CARE AND CLEANING

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning speciﬁ c parts of the oven.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie ﬁ lling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the e ort required for major cleaning later.

CAUTION

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

Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven

The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.

To remove heavy soil:

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.

3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners

WARNING

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air ﬂ ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a ﬁ re hazard.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the e ectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or ﬁ re.

• 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.

• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air ﬂ ow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.

Replacing the Oven Light

CAUTION

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing the oven light.

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power o at the main source or unplug the appliance.

2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.

NOTE

Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your ﬁ ngers when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb.

4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).

6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caring for Your Glide Racks

Caution: Handle oven racks only when they are

cool. After cooking or after the fresh-clean cycle, racks will be very hot and can cause burns.

Important Notes:

• Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks, before starting a clean cycle.

• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.

• It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every fresh-clean cycle and when the rack becomes di cult to reposition in the oven.

To lubricate the glide rack:

1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a large ﬂ at surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.

2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a cloth or sponge.

4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

5. Turn the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrication to the insides of the loading guides.

6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the bottom of the “V” and the glide channels. Keeping the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.

3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.

8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

CAUTION

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door ﬂ at with the inside of the door facing down.

IMPORTANT

CARE AND CLEANING

Special door care instructions - For safe, temporary storage, lay the door ﬂ at with the

inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break.

Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time. Do not close the oven door until all of the oven racks are fully in place.

To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with ﬂ oor (Figure 14).

2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to apply a little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up (Figure 15).
