Oven Racks

Oven Door

|

• Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning. If removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
• If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
• To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on self cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

Ceramic Cooktop| See Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance in the Care & Cleaning section.

Cleaning Oven Bottom
The bake element is designed to be gently tilted up using your hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance (for Ceramic Cooktop models only)

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.

• Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning cream to the glass surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
• Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the 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. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

CAUTION Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
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
Use a non-abrasive pad, cloth or paper towel with the cooktop cleaning cream to apply on the cooktop surface. Buff surface until all soils and creams are removed. Mild dishwashing detergent with water may also be used. Make sure the cooktop is rinsed thoroughly, leaving no detergent or cleaner residue.
For heavy, burned on soil
Use the same method as for light to moderate soil. Re-apply the cooktop cleaning cream and cover with a wet paper towel. Let stand for about thirty minutes to lenses soil from surface Scrub with cloth to remove remaining soil

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Cleaning Recommendations for Ceramic Glass Cooktop (for Glass Cooktop models only)

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

BLEACH ABRASNT OLIAN BAS SCOURING

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
•  Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Note : Additional cooktop cleaning cream may be ordered by visiting the Frigidaire website at http://www.frigidaire.com.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (some mo dels)
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the Care & Cleaning section in this Use & Care Manual.
Cleaning Recommendations for Coil Element Cooktop (for Coil Cooktop models only)
Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off. Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth-any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element is used.

CAUTION Be sure the range is cool before removing elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend terminal ends when replacing elements after cleaning.

CAUTION Never immerse a surface element in water.
To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls

1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip from the drip bowl.

To Clean Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and water (1/ 2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements

1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with 3. the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and firmly push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.

CAUTION When lowering the lift-up range top, grasp the sides with finger- tips only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO NOT drop or bend the range top when raising or lowering. This could damage the surface.

To Raise the Top for Cleaning (for Coil Cooktop models only)

1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in a raised position. Only lift the top far enough to allow the support rods to snap into place.
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.
3. To lower the top, gently push back on each rod to release the notched support. Hold the range top and slide the lift rods down into the range frame.

Changing the Oven Light (some models)
On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven.
