IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP
CAUTION
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil. The use of under-sized utensils will expose a portion of
the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensils to flame will also improve efficiency.
- 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 different 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 flame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking areas will improve efficiency.
- Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
- To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable 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 — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers 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 cooktop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
- When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-ING 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.
- Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fi re. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fi re.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use of kitchen cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.
- Clean ventilating hoods frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning vent hoods.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifi cally recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with different 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 fl ame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow fl ames 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.
- Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
- 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 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.
DO’S
- 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 the element size.
DO NOT’S
- 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 por-celain-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 different surface
cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.
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.
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.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Locations of the Gas Surface Burners
- The SIMMER burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
- The STANDARD-sized burners are used for most surface cooking needs.
- The POWER burner is best used for bringing large quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when preparing larger quantities of food.
Setting a surface burner:
- Place cooking utensil on the center of surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stably on the burner grate.
- Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 8).
- Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.
- 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.
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, tow-els, 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 and then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
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.
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 the 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 the 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 undercooked. 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 met- al or aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Using a Griddle
Use non-stick cooking spray or oil as needed. Slow-ly preheating the griddle ensures even heat distribution for best cooking results.
Before first use:
Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.
After each use:
- 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 a medium to medium-low setting. Slow preheating ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
- DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Pre-heating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.
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.
- 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 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 the 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 Agri-cultural 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.
CAUTION
- Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
- If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and provide adequate ventilation.
