Remove all cookware and utensils before moving the rack. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Bakeware The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food. Material Attributes Recommendation Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and noncoated bakeware is the best for even heating. It is suitable for all baked goods. Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shiny metal bakeware. Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware.
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Cooking Conditions Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food. Material 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.
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Material Recommendation 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 with this appliance, they may be purchased from 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 illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see Figure 1). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element (see Figure 2).
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Assembly of the Burner Caps Make sure that all of the surface burner caps and surface burner grates are installed correctly and at the correct locations. 1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area. Once in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Figure 3) to be sure it is centered and firmly seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner cap click 2.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Install Burner Grates To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess.. 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.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Setting surface controls The ability to heat food quickly and in large volumes increases as the burner size increases. Your gas appliance may be equipped with many different sized surface burners. It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate for the cookware size. • The standard size burner or burners may be used for most surface cooking needs.
BEFORE USING OVEN Set proper burner flame size The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if flame is yellow-orange. Cooking with a griddle (some models) For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to complete the process.
BEFORE USING OVEN Oven Vent Location (some models) The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent.. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block the 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. The Cooling Fan (some models) The cooling fan operates during cooking.

Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry to avoid scratches.
CARE AND CLEANING Replacing the Oven Light CAUTION Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing the oven light. Replacing the oven interior light bulb: The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (Figure 21). Only use lamps with the same specifications. 1. Put a cloth on the bottom of the interior of the appliance.
CARE AND CLEANING Removing and Replacing the Oven Door CAUTION The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. Do not use the appliance without the internal glass panel. To remove the oven door: 1. Open the door fully, horizontal with the floor, and hold the two door hinges (Figure 22). 2. Lift and turn/pull the levers on both of the door hinge locks down from the oven frame completely towards the oven door (Figure 23).
CARE AND CLEANING IMPORTANT Special door care instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
