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 non-coated 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. Condition Aging cookware High altitude Attributes Recommendation 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. Air is drier and air pressure is lower. Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed.
COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Cooking Tips 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 Cookware Material Types 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. The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop About the Radiant Surface Elements 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. The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights Types of ceramic cooktop elements The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on. The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model. Figure 3: • A single radiant element has one circle. • A dual radiant element (some models) has two circles.
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 6) 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.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Dual radiant surface elements (some models) Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer elements. To operate a dual radiant element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin heating both the inner and outer elements.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 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. • 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.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS 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. • Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions.
