13 COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Material Broiling / Roasting
Recommendation
Broiling pan
Convection Cooking Convection attributes
Convection bake
Convection roast
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 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.
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 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.
14 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass surface.
The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface elements
underneath. Always match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline
on the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop
cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery and department stores) to
the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean paper towel. This will make
cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use, and
their settings will all a ect the amount of heat that will spread to areas
beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot
enough to cause burns.
IMPORTANT
· The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface.
· Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
· Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without a cooking utensil)
is not recommended, as difficult cleaning will result, and foods may smoke and
cause potential fire hazard.
· Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass cooktop. Any
cookware that has a rough or dirty bottom can scratch the ceramic cooktop.
Always start with clean cookware.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises,
the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will
cycle on and o . The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform
and consistent heat during the o cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn the element o several minutes before cooking is
complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
CAUTION
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned o . The
element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or
surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range 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 elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fi re.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact
with the cooking element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage
the cooktop.
NOTE
· Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and o ,
even at the HI setting.
· Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the “Care
and Cleaning” section and “Before You Call” checklist section of this Use and
Care Guide.
15 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 1: Testing cookware” and “Figure 2: Proper
cookware”.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see
“Figure 1: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.
Figure 1: 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.
· Flat bottom and straight · Curved and warped pans.

Figure 2: 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.

Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of element
underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model.
· A single radiant element has one circle. Some models have a large Simmer to
Boil element for large pots
· A bridge element allows you to use an extra-long piece of cookware such as a
griddle on one side of your cooktop.
· A keep warm element (some models) has one small circle. It is used to keep
food warm after cooking. The keep warm element is not designed to cook food.

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are
turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is
an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned o . The HOT SURFACE
indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and
will remain on after the burner is turned o until the surface has cooled to a
safe temperature.

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)
Web site 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 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.

Figure 8: Radiant surface element
Simmer-to-boil elements
A Simmer to Boil element (some models) is designed to quickly heat and cook
large amounts of food in large pots. Simmer to Boil elements are clearly
labeled on the cooktop.
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned
o . The element may still be hot and burns may occur if the element is touched
before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders, or plastic wrappings on top of the range 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 elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fi re.
NOTES
· The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
· The Element ON indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are
turned ON. A quick glance at these indicator lights when finished cooking is
an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface
indicator light will remain on AFTER the control knob is turned to the “OFF”
position and will stay on until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
19 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Bridge Element (some models)
Some models include a bridge element for long cookware (such as a griddle, see
Figure 5) to extend across two circular surface elements. Symbols around the
knob are used to indicate whether the single element or the single element and
bridge element will heat.
· The symbol indicates that only the front circular element will heat.
· The symbol indicates that the front element and the bridge element will both
heat.
You may switch the element setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Bridge Element
1. Place correctly sized cookware (griddle) on the cooktop with the bridge
element under the middle.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the circular element symbol for
regular cookware or to element and bridge symbol for extended cookware
designed for use on multiple elements.
3. Allow the griddle to heat for a few minutes when cooking items that
require a preheated surface such as pancakes and eggs. The two elements will
work together with the bridge element to provide even heating.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before
removing the cookware.
5. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking.
A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the
cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
NOTE
· The bridge element knob controls one element and the bridge element. It does
not control the adjacent single element. The adjacent element must be adjusted
with its own knob.
· See “Suggested radiant surface element settings” on page 9.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two di erent surface cooking
areas at the same time unless the cooktop has a bridge element and the
cookware is specifically designed for the purpose. Incorrect use may cause the
ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with
the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
20 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Warm Zone (some models)
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the
keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming zone should be covered with a
lid to maintain quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an
opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only
dishware, utensils, and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the
keep warm zone.
To activate the Warm Zone:
Press the Warm Zone button on the control panel.
CAUTION
· Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will not glow red when it is
hot. To avoid burns always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food
from the cooktop, including the keep warm zone, as cookware and plates will be
hot.
· Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been
turned o . The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
· 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 surface elements.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with
the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
21 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 22.
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 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.
Types of Oven Rack
flat handle 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.
Figure 10: Oven rack types
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most
oven rack positions.
IMPORTANT
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.

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 flows 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).
Benefits 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 front 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 (flat rack).
· Two rack baking use 2 (flat) and 6 (flat).
· For baking cakes use the following rack positions and place bakeware as
shown in Figure 4. In upper rack use position 4 (flat) or 5 (flat).
· 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 finish will cook faster.
· Leave oven lights o while baking.
Convection Convert
Convection Convert automatically reduces the oven temperature from what is
specified in most baking recipes to compensate for the increased cooking
efficiency of convection baking.

Air Sous Vide
Air Sous Vide is ideal for cooking meats to achieve tenderness without
overcooking.
How Sous Vide Works
Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacuum”. In sous vide cooking,
food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking
medium of hot water or air.
Your appliance uses hot air circulating around sealed pouches to cook food
slowly at relatively low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C). Sous
vide cooking is not fast, but with a little planning, it can be very easy.
Advantages of Sous Vide
· Food does not lose flavor or aroma due to evaporation.
· Vitamins and minerals do not escape during cooking.
· The low cooking temperature leaves meat and fish more tender.
· Less spice is needed, as food keeps more of its natural flavor.
· The low cooking temperature greatly reduces the risk of overcooking. The
food never gets hotter than the intended serving temperature.
· Timing is less critical. If di erent dishes are finishing at di erent times,
food that has reached serving temperature can wait, since it stays at serving
temperature in the cooking medium.
33 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Food Safety
Because sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, safe food handling is
especially important.:
· Always keep raw food in safe conditions before you start cooking.
· Clean the raw food before you start cooking.
· Use Table 1, “Recommended Sous Vide Cook Settings,” to find the recommended
cooking time and temperature for the food.
· Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) to cook foods that can be safely
eaten raw.
· Food should be between 34°F and 37°F (normal refrigerator temperatures) when
preparing to place food in sous vide vacuum pouch.
· Sous vide dishes are best served immediately after cooking. If food is not
served immediately, use an ice bath to chill it quickly and then keep it
refrigerated for up to 3 days.
· Do not use sous vide to reheat leftovers.
· Do not allow raw food to contact cooked food during preparation. Do not use
the same tools on di erent food items without washing them.
· If the recipe includes raw eggs, keep the whites and yolks from touching the
outsides of the shells.
· Blanching in boiling water or searing in a pan before sous vide cooking can
destroy surface bacteria to improve food safety.
· Do not use Delay Start with the Sous Vide function.
· Do not use a meat probe with the Sous Vide function. Food needs to be sealed
air-tight in a pouch for sous vide cooking.
34 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Vacuum Sealing
Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum sealer and vacuum pouches.
The pouch needs to be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch that
leaks will produce poor cooking results and may produce smoke and residue that
can burn during future cooking or when using self-clean. Follow the
instructions that come with your sealer and pouches.
· Use pouches that are specified for your sealer and for sous vide cooking.
· Do not reuse vacuum pouches.
· Put food in one layer in the pouch for even cooking.
· It is recommended to use one food portion per vacuum pouch.
· For most sous vide cooking, use the highest vacuum setting for best cooking
results.
· Make sure that the closure of the pouch is clean to get a good seal. If
cooking at higher temperatures (above 160º F / 71º C), double-seal the pouch.
· Vacuum pouches are solely for sous vide cooking and should not be used for
regular baking or broiling.
Sous Vide Cooking
1. Prepare · Start with the freshest, highest quality food
possible.
· Clean and cut the ingredients. 2. Package · Place the ingredients in the
plastic pouch for
your vacuum sealer. Add seasonings for cooking.
· Note: If cooking multiple items at once, you may want to write the contents
on the outside of the pouches before filling and sealing them.
· Vacuum seal the pouch, removing as much air as possible. Verify that you
have achieved an air-tight seal.
· If not cooking immediately, store the pouch in a refrigerator until ready to
cook.
To cook Air Sous Vide:
1. Touch Oven Modes and scroll to Slow Cook, then choose Air Sous Vide from
the sub-menu.
2. Touch Air Sous Vide: display shows 130°F (54°C) setting as default.
3. Set desired temperature. 4. Touch START.
IMPORTANT: Since sous vide cooking allows for a suggested minimum cooking time
and a target time, it is recommended to set the timer to at least the minimum
time or to any time up to the target suggested time. With sous vide cooking,
there is a maximum cooking time which allows the user more flexibility when
cooking with no specific end time. Note: Use the settings recommended for the
type of food in Table 4 on page 35. 5. Finish · Open the plastic pouch and
remove the food.
· You may finish the food with a final searing or grilling to achieve a nice
crust and roast flavor.
· Add final seasonings or sauces if needed.
· Serve.
CAUTION
Even though sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, use care when
handling the pouch and its contents, which will be hot to the touch. Only use
temperatures below 140°F (60°C) for cooking foods that can be safely eaten
raw.
IMPORTANT The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is
popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some
food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen
Guide, USDA) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C)
for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F (77°C).

Dehydrate
For best results when dehydrating food use the Air Fry tray which allows air
to circulate all around the food for faster preservation.
Tips · Always use clean equipment and utensils. · Keep meat and poultry
refrigerated — 40°F
(4°C) or slightly below — before dehydrating. · Cut food in evenly sized
pieces. Slices should
be even and ¼ to ½ inch thick. This will ensure all pieces are dehydrated at
same time. · Use good quality fruits, vegetables, and meats. Overripe or
bruised fruits and vegetables may turn black while dehydrating. · Use lean
cuts of meat or trim o excess fat. · Use a paper towel to dry meat before
dehydrating. · Store dehydrated foods in airtight containers. If moisture
appears in containers, the food was not dehydrated properly. · Follow USDA
recommendation when dehydrating.
To set Dehydrate: 1. Arrange food in a single layer on the Air Fry
tray. 2. Touch Oven Modes and scroll to Slow Cook,
then choose Dehydrate from the sub-menu.
3. Set dehydrate temperature (between 95°F -170°F).
4. Touch START.
5. Press ON/OFF to end cooking and return display to show the time of day.
NOTE
Check food for doneness. If any moisture is present, allow food to dehydrate
longer.
Bread Proof
Bread proofing creates the best conditions for yeast to multiply and cause
your dough to rise. 1. Touch Oven Modes and scroll to Slow Cook,
then choose Bread Proof from the sub-menu. 2. Touch Bread Proof: Shows Bread
Proof 100°F
(38°C). 3. Touch START.

Slow Cook
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 cook-
ing.
· 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.
To set Slow Cook: 1. Touch Oven Modes and scroll to Slow Cook,

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 flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are
crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.
WARNING
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven o . If the
fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the
fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire 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.
To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F (177°C): 1. Touch Oven Mode
and scroll to Convection

38 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.

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.
Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal
cooking temperatures), which vaporizes soils or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can
be programmed for clean times between 2 and 4 hours.
Important: Before starting self clean read all following 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.
· 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 ac-
cessories 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 45). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean
using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.
45 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 fire when subjected
to high temperatures.
· Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie fillings) 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 kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation
fan, or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle. This will help
eliminate the normal odors.
Figure 15: Clean around the oven door gasket · Do not attempt to open the oven
door when
the OVEN LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the
motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door. ·
When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range
has cooled sufficiently. 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

Cooking with Food Probe
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, Steam Roast, and Turkey.
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 first 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: Touch Oven Modes, scroll to Food Probe and follow
directions on the display.
49 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
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.

NOTE
During cooking, the internal food temperature will display in the center of
the screen. The oven temperature will be displayed at the bottom of the screen
beside the cancel key. 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
touch the one you
want to change and use the + or – to adjust the
temperature.
IMPORTANT
Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the original probe provided.

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays (some models)
For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of
models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k. org.
This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish
Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display
changes on the oven control. Bake is the only cooking feature available while
in the Sabbath mode. Most oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.
To start Sabbath Mode, first select Sabbath from the settings menu. Next,
select Delay (if desired), Bake temperature, and cook time (if desired) and
set. Cooking will begin after any specified delay.
If cook time was set, once the time has elapsed, the cooking will end and the
display will show Idle to indicate that the cook time has ended.
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 modification 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, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled
in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the
oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed
promptly when finished cooking.
Important: · Do not attempt to activate any other oven
function except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. When the Sabbath

or any exterior surfaces of the appliance.
Before setting a self-clean cycle, clean soils from the oven frame, areas
outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the
oven bottom. See “Self Clean” on page 23.
Use mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water to
clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. Glass cleaner
may be used on the outside glass of the door. Ceramic smoothtop cleaner or
polish may be used on the interior door glass. Do not immerse the door in
water. Do not spray or allow water or cleaners to enter the door vents. Do not
use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials
on the outside of the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material which is essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or remove
this gasket.
See “Cooktop Cleaning” on page 55.
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass
cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop
cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery, and department stores) to
the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean paper towel. This will make
cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using
cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior
to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
· Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
· Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom; always use clean
cookware.
· Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
· Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.
· Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop; they may cause it
to crack.
55 CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Cleaning
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the
cooktop is cool. The glass surface could be hot from contact with hot
cookware, and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has
cooled sufficiently.
WARNING
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to
your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream
directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop
surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do
not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the soiled area. Rub
the soiled area using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as
needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper held
at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Finish cleaning with cooktop cleaning
cream.

56 CARE AND CLEANING
General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about
cleaning specific 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
filling) 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.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate
ventilation.
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.

Cause / Solution
Be sure the floor is level, strong, and stable enough to adequately support
the range.
If the floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the
situation.
Poor installation. Place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Place a
level on the oven rack. Adjust the leveling legs at the base of the appliance
until the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets
are square and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact the builder or
installer to make the appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so the appliance
can be lifted over carpet. Installation over carpet is not advised. See the
installation instructions for guidelines specific to your appliance.
Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven Light”
on page 26.
