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?
