IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP

CAUTION

Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust fl ame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner fl ame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to fl ame will also improve effi ciency 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 diff erent sizes. Select cookware with fl at bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware may expose a portion of the fl ame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking areas will improve effi ciency.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the fl ame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of fl ammable 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 fl aming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

CAUTION

Before manually cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can cause burns.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Gas surface burner types

Gas surface burner types The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with diff 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-fl ame 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 fl ame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow fl ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Figure 1: Burner cap, burner head, ignitor, and orifice

CAUTION

• Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifi ce holder opening.
• Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in place whenever the surface burners are in use.
• Never place fl ammable items on the cooktop.

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 fi ts over the ignitor. Make sure the head fi ts 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

Using Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware used will infl uence 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”.
Figure 3: Testing cookware

Check for fl atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have fl at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.

• Made of material that conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pot diameter to element size.

• Curved and warped pans.

• Cookware larger than element by more than one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Pan is much smaller than the element.

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.

IMPORTANT

Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel coated cookware on the burner. 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 diff erent surface cooking areas at the same  time. Incorrect use may damage the cookto

Install Burner Grates

To install burner grates, place the grates fl at-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.. The grates have tabs that interlock, so it is important to place the center grate first
Figure 5: Install grates middle-first

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 fl ush 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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

1. The SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
2. The STANDARD sized burners are used for most surface cooking needs.
3. The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food.

**Figure 6: 30” Cooktop

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 8).
3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas fl ame.
4. Once the surface burner has a fl ame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired fl ame size setting. Adjust the fl ame as needed using the knob markings.
   OF
   

CAUTION

Do not place fl ammable 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 fi re if placed too close to the surface burners.

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 fl ame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

CAUTION

Never extend the fl ame beyond the outer edge of the cooking utensil. A higher fl ame wastes energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the fl ame (Figure 10).

Set proper burner fl ame size

The color of the fl ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good fl ame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of fl ame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if fl ame 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 fl ame 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

Figure 10: Proper burner fl ame

Table 1: Recommended fl ame settings for cooking

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

Using a Griddle (not included)

Use non-stick cooking spray or oil as needed. Slowly preheating the griddle ensures even heat distribution for best cooking results.

Before fi rst use

• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

After each us

• Store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water

Using the Griddle

• Place the griddle centered over the left side gas burners.
• 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
  Figure 11: Griddle use
  

NOTES

You can order a griddle from frigidaire.com.

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.

• recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely fl at bottom canner with no ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom surface is fl at. 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 fi rst 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. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the diffi culty of major cleaning later.
