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 undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil 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 flat 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 — 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 cooktop service without breaking due to the 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 USING YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot burner or element in oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition.  Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in proper cookware and always use the oven racks.

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.

Broiling / Roasting
Broil pan| 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 broil pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. To purchase the broil pan go to https://www.frigidaire.com/
Convection Cooking
Convection attributes| 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.
Convection bake| 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| 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 recom- mended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.
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.

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 flame size appropriately for the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Assembly of the Burner
Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
Make sure the burner cup (or the burner head, for single burner) fits correctly over the burner base. The mark on the burner cup should point towards the ignitor.
Note: Duel burner operates with two nozzles. While assembling the burner cup, make sure the nozzles on the burner base are aligned with holes in the burner cup.
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

NOTE
This product comes with two types of burners.

• Duel burner: Located at front right and front left of the cooktop, it comes with a 3 piece assembly (burner cup, burner head and burner cap).
• Single burner: All other burners on the cooktop are single burners, and come with 2 piece assembly (burner head and burner cap).

Important: The burner cup has a hole which fits over the ignitor. Make sure the burner cup fits snugly before placing the burner head and cap.
Note: Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed.

Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Figure 2) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click.

**CAUTION**

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

Install Burner Grates
Install the middle grate first by aligning the grate with the burner and gently placing the grate on hob.
The rubber feet on the trivets locate into the contours of the hob.
The middle grate is designed to guide the location of the side grates. Gently place the side grates in the orientation shown.

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.

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 5: Testing cookware” and “Figure 6: Proper cookware”.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 5: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating 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 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 different surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Location of the Surface Burners
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners.
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.

1. Small burner is best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food.
2. Medium size burner may be used for most surface cooking needs with mid size cookware items.
3. Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.
4. Largest burners can be used for very fast heating and large size cookware items.

7. Cooktop Burner Knob (Rear Right)

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 counter clockwise to the “ ” lite position (Figure 7).
3. Release the surface control knob once the flame is established. Visually check that the burner has a steady gas flame.
4. Once the surface burner has a flame, turn the surface control knob counter clockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

NOTE: If the flame goes out when knob is released, simply depress the knob and hold it down for approximately 5 seconds.

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, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners.
NOTE
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 push in and turn the surface control knob to lite position. Once the burner ignites, slowly turn knob out of lite then to the desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

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 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 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 under-cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

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

Table 1: Recommended flame settings for cooking

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 (Figure 8).

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) website 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 (25mm) 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.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel and at the back of the cooktop 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 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.

Easy Access Side Rack
Easy Access side racks attach to each side of the oven wall. It has 5 rack positions and supports the horizontal racks.

Installing the Side Racks:

1. Insert the rear peg into the rear access hole provided, ensuring peg is fully inserted.
2. Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.

IMPORTANT
Always install the oven racks when the oven is cool.

Types of Oven Rack

• Flat oven rack may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
• Air fry tray is used for even heating on all sides without having to turn the food.
• Glide rack is fully extendable makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.

IMPORTANT

Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat 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 keep pans centered to the oven cavity.
• 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 rack 3 and 5.
• For baking cakes use the following rack positions and place bakeware as shown in Figure 13. In upper rack use position 5.
• 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 off 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.

To set convection bake with a default oven set temperature of 325°F (163°C):

1. Select Oven Mode and scroll to Convection Bake.
2. Touch Convection Bake: Default oven temp of 325°F (163°F) appears.

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 rate.
• 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 off 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.

Slow Cooker
Use Slow Cooker for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long period of time.

For best results when using Slow Cooker:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
• 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 Cooker 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 Cooker 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 Cooker:

1. Touch Oven Modes and scroll to Slow Cook, then choose Slow Cooker from the sub-menu.

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 off. 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 Roast.
2. Touch Convection Roast.
3. Set desired temperature or use default of 350°F.
4. Touch START.
5. Touch Cook Time to set a cooking time if needed.
6. Touch START. Preheating the oven is not necessary.
7. When cooking is completed or to cancel Convection Roast press ON/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, you 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 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. 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.

• 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:

• CLEAN message will turn off, and Hot will appear in display window. The oven door will remain locked while the oven cools.
• Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed, the oven door may be opened.
• 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 and 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 cancelled 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.

Steam Clean
The Steam Clean feature offers a chemical-free and time-saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of small and light soils. For heavier, baked on soils, use the Self Clean feature.

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 off 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. Pour 2 ½ cup of tap water onto the oven bottom. Close oven door.
4. Touch Oven Modes, scroll to and touch Steam Clean.
5. Touch START.
6. The time Steam Clean cycle will end is shown in the display. Do not open the door during this time.
7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and the Off message will show in the display. Press off 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.

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.
• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 40.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

Using the Food Probe for Turkey

1. Select Oven Modes and scroll to Food Probe.
   • The display will remind you to insert the probe into the turkey and place in oven on rack position 1.
   • Display reminds you to connect the food probe to the receptacle before setting oven mode:

2. Touch NEXT.

3. Touch Turkey in Oven Modes.

4. Set target food temperature after pressing NEXT.

5. Set oven temperature and press START.

When the target temperature of the turkey (internal temperature) is reached, the oven will turn off if set for cooking to stop in the Oven Menu settings.

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 ensure 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 off. 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. Connecting any other probe or device could result in damage to the oven control, electronics, and the receptacle. Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays

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 cancelled. If cooking is cancelled 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 (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 feature is active, only the (+) and (-) keys and OFF will function. ALL OTHER KEYS should not be used once the Sabbath feature is active.

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 effort 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 overnight 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.

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners
WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven cavity 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 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 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.
