COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS Special Features Use the special features of your Frigidaire oven to get the best baking and roasting results.
Cooking Recommendations 11 Bakeware The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food. Material Attributes Shiny metal bakeware Shiny, aluminum, and non-coatRecommended cooking temperatures ed bakeware is the best for even and times are based on shiny metal heating. It is suitable for all baked bakeware. goods. Dark metal bakeware Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware. Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F (13-14°C) when using dark bakeware.
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.
Cooking Recommendations Material 13 Recommendation Broiling / Roasting Broiling pan For best results when broiling, use a broiling pan with an insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiling pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. To purchase the broiling pan go to https://www.frigidaire.com/ Convection Cooking Convection attributes Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food.
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 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: Testing cookware” and “Figure 2: Proper cookware”. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 1: Testing cookware”).
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 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. Some models have a large Simmer to Boil element for large pots. • A bridge element allows you to use an extra-long piece of cookware such as a griddle on one side of your cooktop. • A keep warm element (some models) has one small circle.
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.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS SETTING Single radiant surface elements To operate single radiant elements (including Simmer to Boil elements): 1.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Some models include a bridge element for long cookware (such as a griddle) to extend across two circular surface elements. Symbols around the knob are used to indicate whether the single element or the single element and bridge element will heat. • Operating the knob in burner section will heat the front circular element. • Operating the knob in BRIDGE + BURNER section will heat the front element and the bridge element together. 3.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 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. NOTE • • The bridge element knob controls one element and the bridge element. It does not control the adjacent single element. The adjacent element must be adjusted with its own knob. See “Suggested radiant surface element settings” on page 18.
BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS CAUTION IMPORTANT Your Frigidaire wall oven has many features that allow you to customize the way your oven works. Take time to read this section for important safety information and to become familiar with the many menu option settings starting on page 23. 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.
Before Setting Oven Controls WARNING Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other parts of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self-clean temperatures the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.

It works well with most recipes and can be programmed for temperatures between 175°F (79°C) and 550°F (288°C). Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation quantity, time, and temperature. Important: • Food should be arranged in single layers on a pan and place food near the front of a single rack on position 3 for best results.
Setting Oven Controls 29 Slow Cook Broil Use Slow Cook for foods that will cook or braise at low temperature for a long period of time. Use the broil function to cook foods that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the heating element. For best results when using Slow Cook: • Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
Setting Oven Controls Important notes: • Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. • For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking. • When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Setting Oven Controls 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 175°F (79°C) and 550°F (288°C). Benefits of convection cooking include: • Multiple rack baking. Convection baking tips: • Use Convection Bake for best results when baking cookies and cakes on 2 racks.
Setting Oven Controls Convection Roast Convection roast combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and elements to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy and brown on the outside while staying moist inside. WARNING 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 the fire.
Setting Oven Controls 33 Convection Roasting tips: • Preheating for convection roast is not necessary for most meats and poultry. • Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. • Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to 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.
Setting Oven Controls Cooking with Steam To set steam bake: Note: More moisture will be present than during conventional baking or roasting. Moisture could condense on handle or in the door, and depending on the conditions in your kitchen possibly drip onto the floor. 1. Steam Cooking Tips: Oven Positioning • Use glide rack in position 3 in the oven for most steam cooking. • Lowest position for poultry. Preparing Arrange the oven racks when cool. 2.
Setting Oven Controls No Preheat No Preheat is available for single rack baking with packaged and convenience foods and can be used with regular recipes also. No Preheat may be used with temperatures between 175°F (79°C) and 550°F (288°C). Follow the recipe or package directions for food preparation time and temperature. During No Preheat function, the oven elements will cycle on and off. The convection fan will turn on and stay on until No Preheat is canceled.
Setting Oven Controls Cooking with Food Probe Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams, or poultry. The Food Probe works with the following oven modes: Bake, Convection Bake, Air Fry, Convection Roast, and Steam Roast. The probe feature, when set correctly, will signal an alert when the internal food temperature reaches the desired set target temperature. The probe settings for how the oven behaves should be set first in the oven menu.
Setting Oven Controls 37 • For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of lowest large muscle or joint. Table 6: USDA recommended minimum internal cooking temperatures • For meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into center of food. Food Type • 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. NOTE During cooking, the internal food temperature will display in the screen.
Setting Oven Controls Self Clean • A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which vaporizes soils 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. Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle.
