Material Broiling / Roasting Broiling pan
Convection Cooking Convection attributes
Convection bake

Recommendation
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 Frigidaire.com.
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. 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.

13 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with di erent 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 heating of small amounts of food.
· Standard burners can be used for most surface 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.

Assembly of the Burner Caps
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.
1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.
Important: The burner head has a hole which fits over the ignitor. Make sure the head fits snugly before placing the burner caps.
Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed.

14 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.
Figure 2: Testing cookware

Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element 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. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
· Cast Iron – A slow heat conductor, but will retain 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.

Figure 3: Proper cookware

IMPORTANT
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the element. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two di erent surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

15 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess..
Figure 4: Grate installation
IMPORTANT
· Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop before using the surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the recess on the cooktop.
· Grates should rest flush against each other and against the sides of the recess.
· Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other lining.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
· 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 (25mm) 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 setting 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 instructions 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.

16 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 di erent 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.

CAUTION
Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings, spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers 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 surface burners.

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 (Figure 5).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

Figure 5: Surface control knob
NOTES
· 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. To light a surface burner, 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.

17 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Set proper burner flame size
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 (Table 1).
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.

Flame size

Type of cooking

High flame

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming

Low flame

Keep foods cooking; poaching; stewing

These settings are based on medium-weight metal or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Table 1: Recommended flame settings for cooking

CAUTION
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Proper burner flame

18 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cooking with a griddle (some models)
Figure 7: Griddle 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 di erent 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 medium 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 prevent 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 States Department of Agriculture) ebsite and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
· 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 (25mm) 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 setting 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 instructions 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.

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

Types of Oven Rack

Figure 9: Oven vent
WARNING
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.
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 finish.
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.

33 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 flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire 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 fire.
· 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 flow 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.

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 floor (Figure 15).
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 16).
3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges (Figure 17).
4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the appliance to completely disengage the hinge levers (Figure 18).
