A little love goes a long way

directly on the oven control and display area.
FAQs
Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking?
Temperature changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the oven expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temperatures. Different fans run to heat up the oven or cool down different parts of oven, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal.
This range doesn’t work like my old one. What’s wrong?
We know adjustment isn’t always easy. As you get used to a new range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for recipes. Consult your Use & Care Manual for bakeware and cooking recommendations, and to see detailed instructions on how to adjust temperature. Or call us if you need help!
Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil and Air Fry settings?
Broiling and Air Fry are direct, high-heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Broil with the oven door closed, and watch food to prevent burning. Find more troubleshooting tips in the back of your Use & Care Manual and Frigidaire.com.
