IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface
heating area. Place cookware with food on the
cooking area before turning it on. Turn the
cooking area off before removing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface elements — To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the
cookware should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over other cooking
areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the
surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking area will improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-
overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that
may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be
damaged and may damage the cooktop.
Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a
broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not
designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may
result in a fire.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn on the fan.
Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not touch surface burners or elements,
areas near these burners or elements, interior
surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if
equipped). Surface burners and elements may
be hot even though they appear cool. Areas
near surface burners and elements may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials touch these areas until
they are cool. These areas may include the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent
areas, oven door, and oven window.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any
other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as
recommended for baking, such as lining
cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short
circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the appliance when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before
you remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and
utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper cookware and always use the
oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR APPLIANCE
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow
grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended
directions for use of kitchen cleaners and
aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or
filter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning vent hoods.
Before manually cleaning any part of the appli-
ance, be sure all controls are turned off and the
appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can
cause burns.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.
Condition
Attributes
Recommendation
Aging cookware
As pans age and become discolored,
cooking times may need to be reduced
slightly.
If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook
time in the recipe or packaging.
If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to
maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
High altitude
Air is drier and air pressure is lower.
Water boils at a lower temperature, and
liquids evaporate faster.
Foods may take longer to bake.
Doughs may rise faster.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as
needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce
evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in
recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and
allow it to rise twice.
Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Result
Recommendation
Food too light
Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Food too dark
Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Cooking
Tips
Baking
Rack placement
Follow the instructions in “Oven Control Features” on starting on page 21.
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
Preheat
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food
immediately after the beep.
Checking food
Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking perfor-
mance.
Bake
Bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks.
10
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Food placement
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from
the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the
insert helps prevent grease splatters.
If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied, they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com.
Convection Cooking
Convection
attributes
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 saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.
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.
Convection roast
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.
Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery
and home goods stores.
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. If you do not have one of these accesso-
ries, they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com.

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 illus-
trated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
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). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal
marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these
marks immediately.
•
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(see Aluminum).
•
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
•
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. If cast iron pans slide across the ceramic
cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will
resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
•
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
•
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the
glass.
Check for flatness by rotat-
ing a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (see
Figure 1). Cookware should
have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire
surface heating element (see
Figure 2).
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Figure 2: Proper cookware
• Flat bottom and straight
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.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop. The melting
point of cookware made with these materials may be
reached quickly, especially if left empty, and they may
bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will
damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufac-
turer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware.
IMPORTANT

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.
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.
• 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.
White glass cooktops only - Due to the high intensity of
heat generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface may discolor when the element is turned off. This
is normal and the glass will return to its original white
color after it has completely cooled down.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
• 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 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.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to
cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the
HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is
not flat.
Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the Care and Cleaning section and
Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care
Guide.
CAUTION
NOTE
13
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or
more elements are turned on.
A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements
are turned off.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the
burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after
the burner is turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe
temperature.
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.
• A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles.
The dual radiant element may be set using only the
smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements
may be set to heat together for a larger surface.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Single radiant surface elements (all models)
To operate the single radiant element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction (Figure 5) 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.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control
knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular spot.
Use the graphics provided as a guide and adjust the control
knob as needed (see Figure 5).
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.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are based
on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

Keep warm (some models)
Use the keep warm feature 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.
Setting the keep warm control:
1. Push in the knob and turn in either direction (see
Figure 9). The temperatures are designated by hi and
lo. However, the control can be set at any position
between hi and lo for different levels of warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The hot
surface indicator light will remain on until the warm zone
cools.
Temperature selection - Refer to the recommended keep
warm zone settings table (see Table 2). If a particular food
is not listed, start with the medium level and adjust as
needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by
using the medium level.
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.
• 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

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 proce-
dures.
• 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 seating 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.

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.
Type of oven racks
•
Flat oven racks are be used for most cooking needs
and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging oven racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on
both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.
Figure 10: Oven vent
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.
• 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.

Baking tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits and breads. Cookies and biscuits should
be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides.
• 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 3 and 6 and place
pans as shown in Figure 19.
• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes,
biscuits, or muffins 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 muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cook time.
• For best results leave oven light off while baking.

Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution
allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air
flows around the food from all sides.
Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature
between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of convection cooking include:
• Multiple rack baking.
• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Baking tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits and breads. Cookies and biscuits should
be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to
allow heated air to circulate around the food.
• When baking cakes using two oven racks place
bakeware in positions 3 and 6 and place bakeware as
shown in Figure 20.
• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes,
biscuits or muffins, use rack position 3.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, use
Conv Convert to reduce oven temperature from the
recipe’s recommended oven temperature.
• 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 muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cook time.
• For best results leave oven light off while baking.
To set convection bake with a default oven set tempera-
ture of 350°F:
1. Press Conv Bake.
2. Conv Bake and 350° will appear in the display.

Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook foods that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results.
Broiling is direct heat cooking and may produce smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the
flames.
Broil is preset to 550°F and may be set to any temperature
between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).
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: During Broil the oven door may be open to the broil
stop position.
To set broil with the default broil oven temperature of
550°F:
1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum
browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before
adding food. Broil may be set with Delay Start.
2. Position bakeware in oven.
3. Press Broil. Broil with the oven door open to the broil
stop position.
4. Press START. To adjust the broil temperature, press
Broil again and then enter the new temperature using
the number keys. Press START.
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil
other side until done to your satisfaction.
6. When finished broiling, press OFF.
To cancel broil at any time, press OFF.
Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this
appliance they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com
Should an oven fire occur, close oven door and turn off
the oven. 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.
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.

Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convec-
tion fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry.
Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, seal-
ing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are
crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.
Benefits of Convection Roasting:
• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
• No special pans or bakeware required.
• Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe’s temperature
and time recommendations or refer to the convection
roast chart for additional information.
To set Convection Roast:
1. Place the insert on broiler pan. Place meat (fat side up)
on insert.
2. Make sure the insert is securely seated on top of the
broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
3. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.
4. Close the oven door.
5. Press Conv Roast.
6. Enter desired temperature using numeric keys.
7. Press START.
8. When cooking is completed or to cancel convection
roast press OFF.
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 fire. Flour may be explosive.
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.

Convection Roasting tips:
• Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, you can 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.
• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommenda-
tions for additional information.
• 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.

Cooking with Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods
such as roasts, hams, or poultry.
The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert
when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set
target temperature.
When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera-
ture 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 (See
Figure 26). 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 fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor
into the thickest part of the breast (See Figure 27).
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 Figure 25, and always use
a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

• Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the
original probe provided. Connecting any other probe
or device could result in damage to the oven control,
electronics, and the receptacle.
• Before starting Self Clean or during a Broil, make
sure the probe is removed from the oven interior.
• Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the
probe.

canceled. The internal temperature of the food will
appear in the display alternating with the Hld setting of
170°F (77°C).
9. To stop cooking at any time, press OFF
.
During cooking the internal food temperature will display
by default. To see the target temperature press the probe
key once. After 3 seconds the display will revert to the
internal food temperature. 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 but the oven will continue to
cook. 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 temperature while cooking, press
the probe key once. Use the numeric keys to change the
temperature. Press the START key to accept any change.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish
Sabbath and Holidays)
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 heating is the
only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode.
Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.
You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s)
needed for the oven and Delay Start option (if needed). Any
settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be
visible in the displays.
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour
energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the
cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking fea-
tures are cancelled 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 modification
made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two
presses of the START key. This will insure the oven
remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven
temperature outside of its temperature range.
If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature
range, the oven will default to the nearest available temper-
ature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.
.
Important:
• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function
except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The
following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath
feature is active: 0-9 number keypad, Bake, START,
and OFF. All other keys should not be used once the
Sabbath feature is active.
• You may change the oven temperature once baking has
started. Press Bake, use the numeric keypad to enter
the oven temperature change (170°F to 550F°), and
press START (for Jewish Holidays only).
• 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
keep warm and therefore may only be used once during
the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.
•
If a delay start time longer than 11 hours and 59
minutes is desired, set the oven control for the 24 hour
day display mode setting. See “Setting 12 Hour or 24
Hour display mode” on page 22 for more information.
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, fish, 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 finished
cooking.

Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
This function can be programmed for clean times between
2 and 4 hours.
Important: Before starting Self Clean read all following
caution and important statements before starting a self
clean cycle
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 (Figure 32). These areas heat sufficiently
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 fire 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
fillings) 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 first 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 finishes, the oven door will remain
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. 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.
• Do not leave small children unattended near appli-
ance. 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.

CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining
your ceramic glass cooktop.
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.
Sliding aluminum, cast iron, or copper bottomed pans on
the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop
surface. These marks should be removed immediately after
the cooktop has cooled using cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with rough
bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom;
always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a
pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop; they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop Cleaning
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop
cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper
towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not
use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the
soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the
surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff the surface clean.
Figure 36: Cooktop care
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The
fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi-
cally damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface
could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

contact with the utensil, the handle of the
cookware should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over other cooking
areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes.
Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the
surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking area will improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any
other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as
recommended for baking, such as lining
cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short
circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the appliance when opening the door
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before
you remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.
Condition
Attributes
Recommendation
Aging cookware
As pans age and become discolored,
cooking times may need to be reduced
slightly.
If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook
time in the recipe or packaging.
If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to
maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging.
High altitude
Air is drier and air pressure is lower.
Water boils at a lower temperature, and
liquids evaporate faster.
Foods may take longer to bake.
Doughs may rise faster.
Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as
needed.
Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes.
Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce
evaporation.
Increase bake time or oven temperature.
Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in
recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and
allow it to rise twice.
Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Result
Recommendation
Food too light
Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Food too dark
Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe.
Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Cooking
Tips
Baking
Rack placement
Follow the instructions in “Oven Control Features” on starting on page 21.
When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven.
Preheat
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food
immediately after the beep.
Checking food
Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking perfor-
mance.
Bake
Bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks.
10
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS
Food placement
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
Broiling / Roasting
Broiling pan
For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from
the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the
insert helps prevent grease splatters.
If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied, they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com.
Convection Cooking
Convection
attributes
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 saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once.
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.
Convection roast
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.
Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery
and home goods stores.
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. If you do not have one of these accesso-
ries, they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com.

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 illus-
trated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
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). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal
marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these
marks immediately.
•
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(see Aluminum).
•
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
•
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. If cast iron pans slide across the ceramic
cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will
resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
•
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.
•
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the
glass.
Check for flatness by rotat-
ing a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (see
Figure 1). Cookware should
have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire
surface heating element (see
Figure 2).
Figure 1: Testing cookware
Figure 2: Proper cookware
• Flat bottom and straight
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.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
• Curved and warped pans.
• Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porcelain-enamel
coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop. The melting
point of cookware made with these materials may be
reached quickly, especially if left empty, and they may
bond to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will
damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufac-
turer’s recommendations for use and care of cookware.
IMPORTANT

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.
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.
• 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.
White glass cooktops only - Due to the high intensity of
heat generated by the surface elements, the glass
surface may discolor when the element is turned off. This
is normal and the glass will return to its original white
color after it has completely cooled down.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
• 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 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.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to
cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the
HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is
not flat.
Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop cleaning in the Care and Cleaning section and
Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care
Guide.
CAUTION
NOTE

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or
more elements are turned on.
A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements
are turned off.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the
burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after
the burner is turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe
temperature.
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.
• A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles.
The dual radiant element may be set using only the
smaller inner element or both inner and outer elements
may be set to heat together for a larger surface.

Keep warm (some models)
Use the keep warm feature 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.
Setting the keep warm control:
1. Push in the knob and turn in either direction (see
Figure 9). The temperatures are designated by hi and
lo. However, the control can be set at any position
between hi and lo for different levels of warming.
2. When ready to serve, turn the control to OFF. The hot
surface indicator light will remain on until the warm zone
cools.
Temperature selection - Refer to the recommended keep
warm zone settings table (see Table 2). If a particular food
is not listed, start with the medium level and adjust as
needed. Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by
using the medium level.
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.
• 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

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 proce-
dures.
• 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 seating 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.

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.
Type of oven racks
•
Flat oven racks are be used for most cooking needs
and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
Removing, replacing, and arranging oven racks
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on
both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.
Figure 10: Oven vent
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.
• 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.

Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution
allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air
flows around the food from all sides.
Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature
between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of convection cooking include:
• Multiple rack baking.
• Foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Baking tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits and breads. Cookies and biscuits should
be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to
allow heated air to circulate around the food.
• When baking cakes using two oven racks place
bakeware in positions 3 and 6 and place bakeware as
shown in Figure 20.
• When using any single rack for baking cookies, cakes,
biscuits or muffins, use rack position 3.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, use
Conv Convert to reduce oven temperature from the
recipe’s recommended oven temperature.
• 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 muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
cook time.
• For best results leave oven light off while baking.

Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convec-
tion fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry.
Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, seal-
ing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are
crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside.
Benefits of Convection Roasting:
• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
• No special pans or bakeware required.
• Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Be sure to carefully follow your recipe’s temperature
and time recommendations or refer to the convection
roast chart for additional information.
To set Convection Roast:
1. Place the insert on broiler pan. Place meat (fat side up)
on insert.
2. Make sure the insert is securely seated on top of the
broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.
3. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.
4. Close the oven door.
5. Press Conv Roast.
6. Enter desired temperature using numeric keys.
7. Press START.
8. When cooking is completed or to cancel convection
roast press OFF.
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 fire. Flour may be explosive.
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.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Convection Roasting tips:
• Preheating for convection roast will not be necessary for most meats and poultry.
• Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.
• Smaller roasts and poultry should be cooked using rack position 2 or 3.
• Since convection roast cooks faster, you can 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.
• Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations or refer to the convection roast recommenda-
tions for additional information.
• 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.

Cooking with Meat Probe
Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods
such as roasts, hams, or poultry.
The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert
when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set
target temperature.
When active, the probe displays the internal food tempera-
ture 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 (See
Figure 26). 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 fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, fully insert the probe sensor
into the thickest part of the breast (See Figure 27).
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 Figure 25, and always use
a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

Setting the Sabbath Feature (for use on the Jewish
Sabbath and Holidays)
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 heating is the
only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode.
Oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.
You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s)
needed for the oven and Delay Start option (if needed). Any
settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be
visible in the displays.
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour
energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the
cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking fea-
tures are cancelled 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 modification
made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with two
presses of the START key. This will insure the oven
remains on even if an attempt is made to set the oven
temperature outside of its temperature range.
If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature
range, the oven will default to the nearest available temper-
ature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.
.
Important:
• Do not attempt to activate any other oven function
except Bake while the Sabbath feature is active. The
following keys will function correctly when the Sabbath
feature is active: 0-9 number keypad, Bake, START,
and OFF. All other keys should not be used once the
Sabbath feature is active.
• You may change the oven temperature once baking has
started. Press Bake, use the numeric keypad to enter
the oven temperature change (170°F to 550F°), and
press START (for Jewish Holidays only).
• 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
keep warm and therefore may only be used once during
the Sabbath/Jewish Holidays.
•
If a delay start time longer than 11 hours and 59
minutes is desired, set the oven control for the 24 hour
day display mode setting. See “Setting 12 Hour or 24
Hour display mode” on page 22 for more information.
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, fish, 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 finished
cooking.

uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommen-
dations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or
too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so
the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature
displayed.
Important: Do not use oven thermometers such as those
found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings
inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as
much as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F
(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory cali-
brated settings.
To increase or decrease the oven temperature by 20°F:
1. Press and hold Bake until the control produces an

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
This function can be programmed for clean times between
2 and 4 hours.
Important: Before starting Self Clean read all following
caution and important statements before starting a self
clean cycle
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 (Figure 32). These areas heat sufficiently
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 fire 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
fillings) 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 first 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 finishes, the oven door will remain
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. 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.
• Do not leave small children unattended near appli-
ance. 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.

•
If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power
failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly
cleaned, it may be necessary to run another self clean
cycle.
•
If the oven temperature was high enough when Self
Clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow
another self clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.
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.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The elements may

door glass while cleaning cavity.
10. To stop Steam Clean at any time press OFF..
Notes:
• Opening oven door during 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.
• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to
capture any water that may spill while wiping out.
• A non abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge,
plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without
cleaner) can be used for difficult soils. Moisten pads
with water before use.
• 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. 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 Delay Start.
•
If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self

CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining
your ceramic glass cooktop.
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.
Sliding aluminum, cast iron, or copper bottomed pans on
the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop
surface. These marks should be removed immediately after
the cooktop has cooled using cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with rough
bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the bottom;
always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a
pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop; they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop Cleaning
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop
cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper
towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not
use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the
soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the
surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning
cream and buff the surface clean.
Figure 36: Cooktop care
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The
fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemi-
cally damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface
could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
