BAKE surrounds food with gentle, rising heat to cook delicate foods.
CONV BAKE uses a fan to circulate heat for quick and even baking, best used when baking with multiple racks.
CONV ROAST is recommended to gently brown meats and seal in the juices.
PROOF creates the perfect environment to activate yeast when baking homemade breads or pizza dough.
WARM is used to keep cooked foods at serving temperature (160°F / 70°C to 200°F / 90°C) in the oven.
TEMP PROBE monitors the internal temperature of large cuts of meat with a probe. An alert will sound once the desired set target temperature is reached.

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 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?
We know adjustment isn’t always easy. As you get used to a new range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for your recipes. Your Use & Care Manual has rack position and bakeware recommendations to help you get the best baking results. For instructions on how to adjust temperature offset, consult your Use & Care Manual or call Frigidaire Owner Support if you need help!
