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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Gas surface burner types
The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with diff erent 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-fl ame 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 fl ames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

Figure 1: Burner cap, burner head, ignitor, and orifice

Assembly of the Burner Caps
Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations.

  1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
  2. Make sure burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.

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

CAUTION

  • Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifi ce 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.

Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will infl uence the heat setting needed for best cooking results.
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”.
Check for fl atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have fl at 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  evenlyonce 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 diff erent surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.

Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess..

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 fl ush 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.

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 fi rst 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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Setting surface controls
The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many diff erent 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 fl ame size appropriate for the cookware size.

  • The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
  • Small burners are best used for low-fl ame heating of small amounts of food.
  • Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of food.

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 counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 1).
  3.  Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a steady gas fl ame.
  4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

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 useThese items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface burners.

FRIGIDAIRE GCRG3060BD Gallery 30 inch Gas Range -
Surface

NOTES

  • When setting a surface control knob to the lite position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
  • 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 slowly turn the surface control knob to  lite. Once the burnerignites, push in and 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 fl ame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good fl ame 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.

FRIGIDAIRE GCRG3060BD Gallery 30 inch Gas Range -
flame

Flame size Type of cooking
High flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming
Low flame Keep foods cooking; poaching; stewing

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 fl ame 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 7).

Cooking with a griddle (some models)

FRIGIDAIRE GCRG3060BD Gallery 30 inch Gas Range -
Griddle

The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking foods that require large fl at surfaces such as pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for cooking diff erent foods at the same time.
After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not put a griddle in a dishwasher.
If you would like to purchase a griddle, you can order one from Frigidaire.com.
Using the griddle:
Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

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 off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

FRIGIDAIRE GCRG3060BD Gallery 30 inch Gas Range - Oven

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.

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.
Baking tips

  • Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
  • Use the convection bake function for best results when baking cookies on multiple racks.
  • Bake is the best function to use for baking cakes.
  • For best results when baking layer cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 5 and place pans as shown.
  • When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes, biscuits, or muffi ns use rack position 3.
  • Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
  • Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods.
  • Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffi ns.
  • Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
  • Do not leave oven light on while baking.

IMPORTANT
The oven will bake no longer than 12 hours. If you wish to bake for a longer period, see “Changing between continuous bake setting or 12 hour energy saving” on page 21 for detailed information.

  • 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) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). Allow cooked meat to rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
    NOTE: Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from element. Always watch foods carefully to prevent burning.

No Preheat
No Preheat is available for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be used with regular recipes also. No Preheat may be used with temperatures between 170°F and 550°F. Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation time and temperature. During No Preheat function, the oven elements will cycle on and off . The convection fan will turn on and stay on until No Preheat is canceled. Depending on your preference for doneness cooking times may vary. Watch food closely.

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.

Important:

  • Always place food on rack position 3.
  • Place the food with the pan or bakeware to the front of the oven rack.
  • When using No Preheat, use bakeware with low or no sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
  • Leave oven light off when baking.
  • Food that comes in strips, such as fish sticks and chicken tenders, should be placed on the pan with the ends pointing to the sides of the oven. Follow the package directions for food preparation time and temperature.
  • Food may need to be removed early and should be checked at minimum recommended cook time.
  • No Preheat works best when cooking foods longer than 10 minutes. If directions call for a shorter cooking time, a few extra minutes may be required for optimal cooking results.
  • Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.

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  lowtemperatures: 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 fl avor or aroma due to evaporation.
  • Vitamins and minerals do not escape during cooking.
  • The low cooking temperature leaves meat and fi sh 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 diff erent dishes are finishing at different 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 1, “Recommended Sous Vide Cook Settings,” to fi nd 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 different 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.

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 specifi ed 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 fi lling 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.

  3. Use number keys to set desired temperature.
    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 specifi c end time. Note: Use the settings recommended for the type of food in Table 4 on page 37.

  4. Press START.

  5.  Finish
    • Open the plastic pouch and remove the food.
    • You may fi nish the food with a final searing or grilling to achieve a nice crust and roast flavor.
    • Add final seasonings or sauces if needed.
    • Serve.

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 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 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.

  4. Press START.

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 fl avors. 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 fi re 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.

Figure 11: Convection roasting on lower oven racks

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 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.

Table 6: Convection Roasting recommendations

Meat| Weight| Oven Temp| Internal Temp| Mins per lb
---|---|---|---|---
Beef| Standing rib roast| 4 to 6 lb.| 350°F (177ºC)| 160ºF (71ºC)| 25-30

| Pre-cooked ham| 5 to 7 lb.| 325°F (163ºC)| 160°F (71ºC)| 30-40

  • The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cook- ing it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medi- um rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC)** Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and drying of the skin.

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  kitchenpossibly 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 325°F (163°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 fl avorful 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 di- rected.

  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 off automatically. End will be in display.

  7. Press OFF to return to show the time of day.

CAUTION
Do not use Steam Bake for cooking at temperatures below 215°F (102°C).
IMPORTANT
Stand to the side of the oven when opening to allow any steam to escape.

Steam Roast
Steam creates the best conditions for roasting proteins. Meats will be crisp outside and juicy inside.
Steam Roast is recommended for meat or poultry.
Use fl at rack in position 1 for best results for Steam Bake.
To set Steam Roast:

  1. Press Steam Roast.

  2. Add 2-1 /2 cups of water to the bottom of the oven 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 off automatically. End will be in display.

  7. PressOFF to return display to show the time of day.

CAUTION
Do not use Steam Bake for cooking at temperatures below 215°F (102°C).
IMPORTANT
Stand to the side of the oven when opening to allow any steam to escape.

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.

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 fi sh, 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. Press OFF 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 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 number keys to adjust the temperature.

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays (some models)

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, fi rst 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 specifi ed 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 canceled. If cooking is canceled 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 modifi cation made within an active Sabbath mode press the + or – key.
The temperature will increase or decrease with each press by 5°F or 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, fi sh, 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 fi nished 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 number keys and OFF will function.  ALL OTHER KEYS should not be used once theSabbath feature is active.
  • You may change the oven temperature once baking has started. Use the number keys and START to raise or lower the oven temperature.
  • Remember that the oven control will no longer provide audible tones or display any further changes when the Sabbath feature is active.
  • The oven will shut-off automatically after completing a bake time and therefore may only be used once during the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.

To set Sabbath Mode:

  1. Select a cooking function, such as Bake, and set the temperature.

  2. Set a Cook Time and press START.

  3. Press both Conv Bake and Conv Roast at the same time.

  4. When Cook Time ends oven turns off automatically. SAb will be in display.

gasket

Figure 13: 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 diffi cult 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 47.

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 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 suffi ciently 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 fi re 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 fi llings) 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 fi rst 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 fi nishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled suffi ciently. 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 fi nished: CLEAN message will turn off , 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the diffi culty of major cleaning later.
CAUTION
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off 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.

Gas cooktop surface burners| See “Cleaning the surface burners” on page 46.
Gas cooktop surface grates Gas cooktop burner caps| Use a non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mild abrasive cleanser. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (milk, to- matoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the burner grates or burner caps. These spills may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Clean these spills as soon as surfaces are cool. Thoroughly dry immediately following cleaning.

Cleaning the surface burners
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before turning off all surface burners and allowing them to cool.
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized qualifi ed Agency. Routinely clean the cooktop.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven fl ame.
To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:

  • If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth.
  • Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

CAUTION
To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the surface burners without the burner caps.
Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.

To clean burner heads:

  1. Remove the burner cap and the burner head (see Figure 15). Clean with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly
  2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.
  3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head.
  4.  Use a needle or fi ne wire to clean out the ignition port.
  5. Wipe the burner head clean with a soft, cleancloth, sponge, or scratch-free cleaning pad.
  6. Before using the cooktop again, make sure the burner head has fully seated back into place and the burner cap is properly seated on the burner heads. You can wiggle the cap to test placement, neither the cap nor the head should slide out of position (see “Assembly of the Burner Caps” on page 14).

Figure 15: Burner cap, burner head, ignitor, and orifice
Important notes:

  • The surface burner heads are secured to the cooktop and must be cleaned in place on the cooktop.
  • Always keep the surface burner caps in place whenever a surface burner is in use.
  • When replacing the burner caps, be sure the burner caps are seated fi rmly on top of the burner heads.
  • For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any other material to enter the gas orifice port opening.

General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specifi c 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 eff ort 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 bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air fl ow 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 eff 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 off 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 fi ngers 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.

Oven Problems

Problem| Cause / Solution
Poor baking results.| Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat the oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe’s recommended temperature or baking time. See “Convection Bake” on page 22 if you feel the oven is too hot or too cool.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.| Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto the oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up excessive spills before starting the oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using broil, see “Setting Oven Controls” on page 19.
Oven smokes excessively when broiling.| Incorrect setting. Follow the “Setting Oven Controls” on page 19.
Meat too close to the broil element or burner. Reposition the broil pan to provide proper clearance between the meat and broil element or burner. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broil- ing frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
Oven control panel beeps and displays any F or E code error.| Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. To clear the error, press the OFF key on the control panel. Once the error code is cleared, try the bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off the power to appliance, wait 5 minutes, and then repower the appliance. Set the clock with correct time of day. Try the bake or broil function again. If the fault recurs, press the OFF key to clear.
Oven portion of appliance does not operate.| Be sure the regulator gas valve is turned to ON. See installation instructions.
The time of day is not set. The clock must be set in order to operate the oven. See “Convection Bake” on page 24.
Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired function. See “Setting Oven Controls” on page 19 and review instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual or see “Entire appliance does not operate.” in this checklist.
Convection fan does not rotate.| Oven door is open. The convection fan will turn off if the oven door is opened when convection is active. Close the oven door.
On gas models, the convection fan will begin to rotate about 6 minutes into the preheating process.
Cooktop Problems

Problem| Cause / Solution
Surface burners do not ignite.| Surface control knob was not completely turned to LITE (). Push in and turn the surface control knob to LITE until the burner ignites and then turn the control knob to the desired flame size.
Burner ports are clogged. With the burner OFF and cool, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean the burner head slots and ignition ports. See “Clean- ing the surface burners” on page 46 for additional cleaning instructions.
Range power cord is disconnected from outlet (electric ignition models only). Be sure the power cord is securely plugged into the power outlet.
Circuit is broken. Check breaker box or fuse box.
Electrical power outage. Burners may be lit manually. See “Setting Surface Controls” on page 16.
Surface burner flame uneven or only part way around burner cap.| Burner slots or ports are clogged. With the surface burner OFF and cool, clean ports with a small-gauge wire or needle. If moisture is present after cleaning, lightly fan the flame and allow the burner to operate until flame is full.
Burner caps are not seated properly. Check that all burner caps are level and seated correctly on the burner heads. See “Cleaning the surface burn- ers” on page 46 for additional cleaning instructions.
Surface burner flame is too high.| Surface control knob is set too high. Adjust to a lower flame setting.
Burner caps are not seated properly. Check that all surface burner caps are level and seated correctly on the surface burner heads. See “Cleaning the surface burners” on page 46 for additional cleaning instructions.
Incorrect L.P. conversion. Refer to L.P. conversion kit instructions to correct.
Surface burner flame is orange.| Dust particles in main gas line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue. In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoid- able due to salt content in the air.
Incorrect L.P. conversion. Refer to L.P. conversion kit instructions to correct.
Self-Clean Problems

Problem| Cause / Solution
Self clean does not work.| Oven control not set properly. See “Setting Self Clean” on page 28.
Oven racks discolored or do not slide easily.| Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Remove oven racks from oven cavity before starting a self- clean cycle. Clean by using a mild abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.
Soil not completely re- moved after self clean.| Self clean was interrupted. Review instructions on “Self Cleaning” on page 27.
Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self clean.
Failure to clean 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 are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrub- ber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
The oven control display shows “SPr” and self-clean is not working.| The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean cycle. On some models, turning on any cooktop surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If the clean cycle is canceled, the oven control display will show “SPr” for 5 seconds. The oven door will remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immediately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set once the door un- locks (up to 4 hours).
Other Problems

Problem| Cause / Solution
Appliance is not level.| Be sure the floor is level, strong, and stable enough to adequately support the range.
If the floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situa- tion.
Poor installation. Place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust the leveling legs at the base of the appliance until the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabi- nets are square and have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.| Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact the builder or install- er to make the appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so the appliance can be lifted over carpet. Installation over carpet is not advised. See the installation instructions for guidelines specific to your appliance.
Oven light does not work.| Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven Light” on page 48.
