- AIR SOUS VIDE uses hot circulating air to preserve nutrients and flavors as your food cooks slowly at low temperatures.
- SLOW COOK locks in flavor and moisture by cooking food slowly at a low temperature.
- CONVECT ROAST uses a convection fan to gently brown meats and seal in the juices.

QUICK CARE
-
A little love goes a long way
Quick ongoing care keeps your wall oven working great for years to come! -
Be gentle
Clean with warm water and mild soap, or use Frigidaire ReadyClean™ Oven and Microwave Cleaner. -
Choose your clean
For light soils, use STEAM CLEAN. STEAM CLEAN is a chemical-free method that uses 1 cup of water poured in the oven cavity to clean light soils. -
For heavy soils, use SELF CLEAN.
SELF CLEAN uses high temperatures to eliminate heavier soils and reduces them to a powdered ash you can easily wipe away.
FAQs
-
Why does my wall oven make noises when I’m cooking?
Temperature changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the wall oven expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temperatures. Different fans run to heat up and cool down different parts of the oven, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal. -
This oven doesn’t work like my old one. What’s wrong?
We know adjustment isn’t always easy. As you get used to a new wall oven, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for recipes. Consult your Use & Care Guide for detailed instructions on how to adjust temperature or call Frigidaire Owner Support if you need help! -
Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting?
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Watch food to prevent burning. -
Why does my oven smoke when I use Air Fry?
Air Fry circulates super-heated air all around food and bakeware. Some smoke is normal. Drippings from high-fat or greasy foods combined with hot air from the oven can cause smoke to occur. Place an extra baking tray underneath the Air Fry tray on the lower rack position to catch drippings and crumbs. For best results, visit Frigidaire.com to purchase the Air Fry tray. Find more troubleshooting tips in the back of your Use & Care Guide.
