COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Bakeware

The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.

Cooking Conditions

Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Condition

| Attributes|

Recommendation

---|---|---
Aging cookware| As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly.| If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.

High altitude| Air is drier and air pressure is lower.
Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster.
Foods may take longer to bake.
Doughs may rise faster.| Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes
Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.

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 .

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 off the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
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 fi re. 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.

Types of Oven Rack
Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
WARNING
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self-clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
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.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cook- ing it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). All cook times shown are after 2 minutes of preheating.

Keep Warm
Keep Warm should only be used with foods that are already at serving temperatures. Keep warm will keep cooked foods warm and ready for serving after cooking has fi nished.
Keep warm will keep the oven temperature at 140° F – 200° F (60°C – 93°C).
To set Keep Warm:

1. If needed, arrange oven racks and place cooked food in oven.
2. Press Oven Modes and scroll to Keep Warm.
3. Touch Keep Warm.
4. Set desired temperature.
5. Press START.
6. Keep Warm will turn off when canceled.

Setting Delay Start
Delay Start allows a delayed starting time only for Bake, Convection Bake, No Preheat, Convection Roast, Steam Roast, Steam Clean, and Self Clean. Prior to setting a delay start, be sure the time of day is set correctly. The maximum delay for a Delay Start is one hour (12 hours for Self Clean or Steam Clean).

1. Press ON/OFF key and touch Oven Modes.

2. Scroll to Delay Start and touch.

3. Follow the information on the screen to set de-lay time, temperature, and cook time.

• When the Delay Start time is reached, the oven will turn on and begin cooking. The screen will show the oven temperature.
• When Cook Time (if used) ends, Cooking is over and Off and OKAY will appear in the display window, and the oven will shut off automatically.
• The oven control will sound tones as a reminder until the OKAY is pressed.

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 fi ne 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 fol-lowing 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 bot-tom, 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 off during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories 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 25). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

• 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 fi re 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, dam-age, 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.

• 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 able to open the oven door.

To set a self clean cycle:

1. Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed. Remove all items from the oven. Be sure oven door is completely closed.
2. Touch Oven Modes and scroll to Self Clean.
3. Touch Self Clean and select 2 hour, 3 hour, or 4 hour clean time.
4. Press TIMER to start the self clean cycle.

When the oven is set to run a self-clean cycle, the motor door lock will begin locking the oven door. Do not open the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds. Once the oven door has locked, CLEAN will appear in the display indicating self clean has started.
Do not force the oven door open when self-clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use caution when opening the door after self- clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

When the self clean cycle has completed:

1. CLEAN message will turn off , and Hot will appear in display window. The oven door will remain locked while the oven cools.
2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.
3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

Setting Delay Start Self Clean
To start a delay self clean with default clean time of 3 hours.

1. Press ON/OFF key and touch Oven Modes.
2. Scroll and touch Delay Start.
3. Touch NEXT and scroll Oven Modes to Self Clean. Follow the information on the screen to set delay time, self clean time.

If it becomes necessary to stop self clean when active:

• Press OFF.
• If self clean has heated the oven to a high temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool.
• Before restarting self clean, be sure to read important notes below.

Important notes

• If self clean was active and then interrupted by a power failure or canceled before the oven was thoroughly cleaned, it may be necessary to run another self clean cycle.
• If the oven temperature was high enough when self clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow another self clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.

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 set-tings 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, fi rst 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 off and the oven lights are turned off . 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 fi rst. 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 feature is active, only the + and – keys and OFF will function. ALL OTHER KEYS should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.
• You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Use the + and – keys to raise or lower the oven temperature. Each press of an arrow key will raise or lower the temperature by 5°F (1°C).
• Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.
• The oven will shut-off automatically after completing a bake time and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.

SETTING SABBATH MODE:
Sabbath Mode is set using the Menu Options.

1. Touch the Menu Options bars.
2. Scroll to Sabbath Mode.
3. Touch Sabbath Mode and follow all instructions on screen.
   To exit Sabbath Mode, press and hold EXIT for three seconds.

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 eff ort required for major cleaning later.

CAUTION

• Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off 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.

Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven

The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
To remove heavy soil:

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven over-night or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. 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 bot-tom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use oven mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-fi lled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

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 fl ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fi re 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 effectiveness 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 fi re.
• 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 fl ow 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.
To replace the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance.

2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.

3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.
   NOTE
   Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers when replacing. This will short-en the life of the bulb.

4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).

6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.
