13 COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Material Broiling / Roasting

Recommendation

Broiling pan
Convection Cooking Convection attributes

For best results when broiling, use a broiling pan with an insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiling pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. To purchase the broiling pan go to https://www.frigidaire.ca/
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 bake

Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.
Reduce cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection baking.

Convection roast

Preheat the oven for best results.
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 recommended 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

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface elements underneath. Always match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use, and their settings will all affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.
IMPORTANT
· The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface.
· Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it.
· Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without a cooking utensil) is not recommended, as difficult cleaning will result, and foods may smoke and cause potential fire hazard.
· Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass cooktop. Any cookware that has a rough or dirty bottom can scratch the ceramic cooktop. Always start with clean cookware.

About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle on and off . The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
CAUTION
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range 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 elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.

NOTE
· Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
· Be sure to read detailed instructions for coil cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” section and “Before You Call” checklist section of this Use and Care Guide

15 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 1: Testing cookware” and “Figure 2: Proper cookware”.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 1: Testing cookware”).
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.
Figure 1: Testing cookware

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.

· Flat bottom and straight · Curved and warped pans. sides.

· Tight fitting lids.

· Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well balanced.
· Pan sizes match the amount of food to be prepared and the size of the surface element.
· Made of material that conducts heat well.

· Cookware larger than element by more than one-half inch or 12mm.
· Heavy handle tilts pan.

· Easy to clean.

· Always match pot diameter to element size.

· Pan is much smaller than the element.

Figure 2: Proper cookware

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.

16 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Types of Ceramic Cooktop Elements
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model.
· A single radiant element has one circle. Some models have a large Simmer to Boil element for large pots.
· A bridge element allows you to use an extra-long piece of cookware such as a griddle on one side of your cooktop.
· A keep warm element (some models) has one small circle. It is used to keep food warm after cooking. The keep warm element is not designed to cook food.

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) Web site 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 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.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Single radiant surface elements
To operate single radiant elements (including Simmer to Boil elements):
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction (Figure 8) to the desired setting (refer to the “Suggested radiant surface element settings” in Table 1).
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element OFF before removing the cookware.

20 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
NOTE
· The bridge element knob controls one element and the bridge element. It does not control the adjacent single element. The adjacent element must be adjusted with its own knob.
· See “Suggested radiant surface element settings” on page 18.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the cooktop has a bridge element and the cookware is specifically designed for the purpose. Incorrect use may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

Warm Zone (some models)
Use the warm zone to keep cooked foods hot.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warming zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality.
For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils, and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
To activate the Warm Zone:
Turn the Warm Zone control knob to ON position.
CAUTION
· Unlike the surface elements, the keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. To avoid burns always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the cooktop, including the keep warm zone, as cookware and plates will be hot.
· Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
· Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings 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 elements.

IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

IMPORTANT
Your Frigidaire wall oven has many features that allow you to customize the way your oven works.
Take time to read this section for important safety information and to become familiar with the many menu option settings starting on page 21.
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 aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

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.

Types of Oven Rack

Figure 9: Oven vent
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.

glide rack
Figure 10: Oven rack types
· Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
· The fully extendable glide rack 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. See glide rack instructions on next page.
· Air fry tray is used for even heating on all sides without having to turn the food.

22 BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

WARNING
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self-clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

Using both hands, lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack.

Removing and Replacing the Glide Racks
The fully extendable Glide rack 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. To remove – Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Using one hand, reach through handle opening and grasp both the upper and lower bars of the glide rack.
While holding both sections, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached.

The rack portions move independently and are difficult to handle unless held together.
To replace – Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position.
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.

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 cook-
ing.
· 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.

29 SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Broil
Use the broil function to cook foods that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the heating element.
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.
Important: Broiler pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil the exposed grease could ignite.
Note: To purchase the broiler pan, please visit the www.frigidaire.ca.
