10 COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can a ect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Condition Aging cookware
High altitude

Attributes As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly.
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.

Recommendation
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.
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.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice.

Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

Result Food too light

Recommendation Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Food too dark

Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.

Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

Situation Baking

Recommendation

Rack placement

Follow the instructions in “Setting the Clock” on page 22.

When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.

Preheat

Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after the beep.

Checking food

Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance.

Bake or Convection Bake Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best performance, see “Convection Bake” on page 26.

Food placement

Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.

11 COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

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

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.
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.

12 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.

13 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.

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.

14 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 dual radiant element (some models) has two circles. The dual radiant element may be set using only the smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements may be set to heat together for a larger surface.
· Dual elements allow more flexibility with the size of cookware.
· 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.

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.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
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.
You may switch from either single or dual element setting at any time during cooking. See “Table 1: Suggested settings for radiant elements” on page 16.
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 fire.

Figure 9: Dual element knob settings
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.
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.

18 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 twice.
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.

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 11: 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.

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.

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 5: Sous Vide Table” on page 33 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.

32 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. Press until “SouS” appears in the display.
2. Press START. Use number keys to set desired temperature.
3. Press 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 5: Sous Vide Table” on page 33.
4. 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.
To cancel cooking anytime press OFF.
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). Visit the USDA Food Safety and Inspection website at www.fsis. usda.gov.

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. Press until “SLo C” appears in the display.
2. Press START.
3. Press to choose Level 1, 2, or 3.

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. Press Conv Roast.
2. Set the desired temperature using the number keys or use default of 350°.
3. Press START.
4. Set Cook Time if desired.
5. Press START. Preheating the oven is not necessary.
6. When cooking is completed or to cancel Convection Roast press OFF.

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 rec-
ommended 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.

36 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Cooking with Steam
Note: More moisture will be present than during conventional baking or roasting. Moisture could condense on the handle or in the door, and depending on the conditions in your kitchen possibly drip onto the floor.
Steam Cooking Tips:
Oven Positioning
· Use flat rack in the position in the oven for most foods for Steam Roast.
· Lowest position for poultry.
Preparing
· Use 2-1/2 cups of water for steam bake and steam roast. If steam functions are frequently used, use distilled water.
· Using water container, pour water slowly onto the bottom of oven cavity while still cool.
· Never add water if the oven is warm. · Never add water during a Steam Bake or Steam
Roast cycle.
While in Use
· When using Steam, follow the recipe for preheating, cook time, and cook temperature. If the original recipe did not use steam, reduce the temperature by 25°F (14°C), but not below 215°F (101°C).
· Always start with a cold oven.
· Preheating is not necessary when using steam roast.
Cleaning
· With a paper towel lightly soaked in distilled white vinegar, wipe out bottom of oven cavity after the oven is cooled or before each use.
· Use the self clean function to clean heavily soiled areas.
· If residue remains after self clean, pour a thin layer of distilled white vinegar onto the bottom of the oven cavity. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Wipe out vinegar.

Steam Bake
Steam creates the best conditions for baking bread on a single rack. Baked goods will have improved browning and texture and is recommended for baking moist and flavorful breads and pastries such as baguettes and croissants. Use flat rack in position 3 for best results for Steam Bake. Pans should be pulled to the front of the rack. To set Steam Bake: 1. Press Steam Bake.
2. Add 2-1/2 cups of water to oven bottom as directed.
3. Set the desired temperature using the number keys or use default of 350°.
4. Press START. 5. Set Cook Time if desired. (Suggests waiting to
set Cook Time until oven preheats.) 6. When Cook Time ends oven turns o
automatically. End will be in display. 7. Press OFF to return to show the time of day.

38 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
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, and Steam Roast.
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 settings 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.

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.
Insert probe tip to center of
food
· For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint.
· For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food.
· When cooking fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
· For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor into the thickest part of the breast.

CAUTION
Do not use kitchen utensils to pull on the probe cable or handles. Always insert and remove the probe using the provided handles, as shown in and always use a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

To set Food Probe: 1. Connect the food probe to the oven and insert
the probe into the food. 2. Select a cooking function, such as Convection
Roast, and set the temperature.
3. Press Food Probe. The food probe indicator lights up.
4. Use the number keys to enter the target temperature for the food.
5. Press START. 6. When the food reaches the target temperature,
the progress bar will be fully lit and a tone will sound. 7. PressOFF to return display to show the time of day.
NOTE
During cooking, the internal food temperature will display in the center of the screen. 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 press the one you want to change and use the number keys to adjust the temperature.

CAUTION
Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any other abrasive household cleaners to the water used for Steam Clean. Before 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.
Be sure the oven is level and cool before starting Steam Clean. If the oven temperature is above room temperature a triple beep will be heard and the function will not start. Steam Clean produces best results when started with a cool oven. To set a Steam Clean cycle: 1. Remove all racks and oven accessories. 2. Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from
the oven bottom.
3. Press until “Cln” appears in the display.
4. Press START. 5. Pour 1 cup of tap water onto the oven bottom
(Figure 14). Close oven door. 6. Press START. The time left for the Steam Clean
cycle is shown in the display. Do not open the door during this time. If door is left open while in Steam Clean, (d-O) will appear in the display after a few minutes.
7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and the End message will show in the display. Press o to return to the clock.
8. Take care opening the door when the steam clean is finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor.
9. Wipe oven cavity and bottom. Do not clean oven door gasket. Avoid leaning or resting on the oven door glass while cleaning cavity.

Figure 14: Add 1 cup of tap water
Figure 15: Clean around the oven door gasket
Notes: · Opening the oven door during the steam clean
cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean. · For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom. · A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads with water before use. · Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping out. · Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. · Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent and the oven door glass. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry. · Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water. · Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delayed start time. · If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 43.

Self Clean
Self Clean cleans with very high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), eliminating soils completely or reducing them to very fine powdered ashes you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The clean cycle lasts for 2-4 hours.
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.

43 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
· 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. 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 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.

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.

44 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

· 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.

Setting Self Clean
To set self clean:
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.
1. Press Self Clean. The warning to remove RACKS will flash in the display to remind you that oven racks should be removed before a self clean. The default 3 hour clean time will appear in the display.
2. Use the number keys to adjust the cleaning time. Press START to activate self clean.
3. The RACKS warning will end and Self Clean will start. 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 selfclean 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.
4. When self clean is finished: CLEAN message will turn o , and Hot will appear in display window.

5. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.
CAUTION: To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot steam and air to escape.
When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

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 o 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.

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 47.

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.

47 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.

IMPORTANT
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

48 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.

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 bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

49 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.
To replace the oven interior light bulb: 1. Turn electrical power o 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 shorten 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.
