FRIGIDAIRE PCFI3080SS Induction Range
BEFORE YOU START
SET UP YOUR OVEN
Remove all packaging material and tape from the oven. Make sure your oven racks are in place prior to operating the range. Check out your Use & Care Manual for tips to help you care for your range.
SET YOUR CLOCK
It’s easy! Press enter the time using – or + keys, then press to save changes.
BEFORE COOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Set your oven to bake at 350°F (177°C) for about 30 minutes. As the range gets settled in your home, it’s normal to experience some noises and smoke.
INDUCTION BASICS
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE:
For induction heating to work, cookware needs to be compatible with the cooking zones.
If the cookware isn’t marked as induction-ready, check the bottom and sides
with a magnet. If the magnet sticks firmly to the cookware, then it will work
on the cooktop! Cookware bottoms should be flat, level, and clean.
Sturdy cookware with solid bottoms work best.
Look for an induction symbol on the bottom of pots and pans.
USING THE RIGHT SIZE COOKING ZONE:
The markings on the cooking zone show the minimum and maximum pan size. For the fastest and most even heating, use the cooking zone that best fits the cookware bottom. It’s ok for the pan to be a little bigger than the cooking zone.
PAN SENSING:
If the cooking zone does not become active, the zone isn’t sensing the pan. Make sure the cookware is induction-ready, centered on the cooking zone, and not too small for the zone you’re using.

QUICK CARE

FAQs
Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking?
Temp changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range expand
and contract. Different fans run to preheat the oven or cool down different
parts of the range, even when it’s off. The controls click as they cycle to
create even cooking temps in the oven and on the cooktop zones. On induction
cooktops, cookware can sometimes vibrate slightly, causing a light buzzing
noise. These sounds are normal. The range will beep alert tones if anything is
sitting on the cooktop controls. Don’t place pans, utensils, or other items on
the cooktop control area.
This oven 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.
