BEFORE COOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME

BEFORE YOU START Set your oven to bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes. As the range gets settled in your home, it’s normal to experience some noises and smoke.

INDUCTION BASICS

Use less energy while you cook. Induction technology heats the pan directly for less heat loss.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT COOKWARE

For induction heating to work, cookware needs to be compatible with the cooking zones. Cookware bottoms should be flat, level, and clean

Look for an induction symbol on the bottom of pots and pans.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT COOKING ZONE

The markings on the cooking zone show the minimum and maximum pan size. A flashing display indicates the zone isn’t sensing the pan. Make sure the cookware is centered on the cooking zone and not too small for the zone you’re using.

QUICK CARE

A little love goes a long way

Clean up spills as they happen. Clean with a soft cloth, mild dish detergent and water or Frigidaire ReadyClean™ Oven and Microwave Cleaner and ReadyClean™ Glass & Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner.

Avoid spraying large amounts of water or cleaners directly on the oven control and display area. Excess moisture on the control area may cause damage. Avoid using paper towels and scouring pads — they will damage the finish.

FAQs

Why does my induction cooktop make noises while I’m cooking?

On induction cooktops, cookware can sometimes vibrate slightly, causing a lightbuzzing noise. These sounds are normal.

Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking?

Temperature changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range 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.

Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting?

Broiling is direct 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.

This oven doesn’t work like my old one. What’s wrong?
