WARNING

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR GAS 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.

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 heating element. The use of under-

sized cookware may expose a portion of the

flame to direct contact and may result in the

ignition of clothing or other items. Using the

proper cookware on the cooking areas will

improve efficiency.

Always turn knob to the full LITE position when

igniting top burners. Visually check that burner

has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil

should be positioned so that it is turned inward,

and does not extend over adjacent surface

burners.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high

heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking and

greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that

has boiled dry may melt.

Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of

glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top

service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s

recommendations for cook top use.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating

hood, turn the fan on.

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

and the power resumes, electric surface

elements may resume operation when power is

restored. Once the power resumes, reset the

clock and the oven function.

Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame size so

it does not extend beyond the edge of the

utensil. The use of undersized utensils will

expose a portion of the burner flame to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also

improve efficiency.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR SELF

CLEANING OVENS

Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should

be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

towels or soft gloves. Disconnect the appliance or

shut off the power to the appliance before

removing and replacing the bulb.

Important Safety Notice - The California Safe

Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

requires the governor of California to publish a list

of substances known to cause cancer, birth

defects, or other reproductive harms, and

requires businesses to warn customers of

potential exposures to such substances.

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. Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F 

(13-14° C) when using dark bakeware.

Glass bakeware Glass bakeware cooks hotter than

shiny bakeware.

Glass is convenient, as the same piece

of bakeware can be used for cooking,

serving, and storing food.

Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F 

(13-14° C) when using glass bakeware.

Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than

shiny bakeware.

Insulated bakeware is designed for

baking in gas ovens.

Increase the cooking temperature by 25° F 

(13-14° C) when using insulated 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.

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 “Setting Oven Controls” on starting on page 20.

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 or Convec-

tion Bake Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best performance, see

“Convection Bake” on page 25.

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 with this appliance, they may be purchased from Frigid-

aire.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 Frigidaire.com.

Cooking Tips

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 loca-

tions.

1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.

2. Make sure burner caps are properly placed on the

surface burners.

3. Unpack the burner grates and position them on the

cooktop.

4. Discard all packing material.

On round-style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 1) should

fit snug into the center of the burner head and rest level.

Refer to Figure 2 for correct and incorrect burner cap place-

ment.

Figure 2: Proper burner cap placement

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.

Figure 3: Gently move cap for proper placement

Figure 1: Burner caps and burner heads

•Do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents, or any

other material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.

•Always keep the burner caps and burner heads in

place whenever the surface burners are in use.

•Never place flammable items on the cooktop.

•Check and be sure that all oval-style burner caps

(some models) are correctly in place on oval burner

heads.

•Do not use the surface burners without the burner

caps properly installed. Improperly seated burner

caps may prevent burners from lighting or cause

uneven flame and heating.

•Missing pieces or improper installation may lead to

spills, burns, or damage to your range and cookware.

•Never place flammable items on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Install burner grates

To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and

align them into the cooktop recess.

Figure 4: Proper grate installation

Using Proper Cookware

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of

the cookware (See Figure 5). Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element (See Figure 6).

•Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on

the cooktop before using the surface burners

(Figure 4). The grates are designed to rest inside the

recess on the cooktop.

•Grates should rest flush against each other and

against the sides of the recess.

•Do not line the area underneath the grates or any part

of the cooktop with aluminum foil or with any other

lining.

IMPORTANT

The size and type of cook-

ware used will influence the

heat setting needed for best

cooking results. Be sure to fol-

low the recommendations for

using proper cookware as

illustrated in Figure 5 and

Figure 6.

Figure 5: Testing cookware

Figure 6: 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.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Curved and warped pan

bottoms.

• Pan overhangs grate by

more than 1” (2.5 cm).

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Flame extends beyond pan.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cookware Material Types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface burner 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).

• 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 retains heat very

well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached.

• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics

will vary depending on base material.

•Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Gas surface burner types

The cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with

different BTU ratings. The ability to heat food quickly and in

large amounts increases as the burner size increases.

•Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of

small amounts of food.

•Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking

needs.

•The largest burner is best used for bringing large quan-

tities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when

preparing larger quantities of food. The large burner is

located at the right front position on the cooktop.

Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable

for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a

burner and set the flame size appropriately for the pan.

Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the

pan.

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 wooden spoons could catch

fire if placed too close to the range cooktop.

Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt

on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may

damage the cooktop.

Do not straddle cookware over two burner areas unless

the cookware is specifically designed for that purpose.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

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.

•Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of

small amounts of food.

•Large burners are best for bringing large quantities of

liquid to temperature or heating larger quantities of

food.

Setting a surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate.

Be sure the cooking utensil rests stable on the burner

grate.

2. Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn

counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 7).

3. Release the surface control knob and rotate to the LITE

position ( ). Visually check that the burner has a

steady gas flame.

4. Once the surface burner has a flame, push the surface

control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired

flame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the

knob markings.

•NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two

different surface cooking areas at the same time

unless the cookware is specifically designed for the

purpose.

•DO NOT cook with a surface control knob left in the

lite position ( ). The electronic ignitor will continue to

spark. Turn the control knob out of the lite position

and adjust the flame size.

•Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can

melt on the range cooktop. If items melt, they may

permanently damage the appearance of the cooktop.

IMPORTANT

Do not place flammable items such as plastic wrappings,

spoon holders, or plastic salt and pepper shakers on the

cooktop 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 burners.

Figure 7: Surface control knob

•When setting a surface control knob to the lite

position, all of the electronic surface ignitors will spark

at the same time. However, only the surface burner

you are setting will ignite.

•In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface

burners may be lit manually. To light a surface burner,

hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn

the surface control knob to lite. Once the burner

ignites, push in and turn knob out of lite then to the

desired flame setting. Use caution when lighting

surface burners manually.

CAUTION

NOTE

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Set proper burner flame size

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjust-

ment. 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.

For most cooking: start on the highest setting and then

turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the

recommendations below as a guide for determining proper

flame size for various types of cooking (Figure 9).

For deep fat frying: use a thermometer and adjust the

surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will

absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food

will brown so quickly that the center will be under-cooked.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the

food will neither brown nor cook properly.

Figure 8: Flame settings

Flame size Type of cooking

High flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

pan broiling

Medium flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces,

gravies; steaming

Low flame Keep foods cooking; poaching; stewing

These settings are based on medium-weight metal or

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using

other types of pans.

Figure 9: Recommended flame settings for cooking

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the

cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and

increases your risk of being burned by the flame

(Figure 8).

CAUTION

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Cooking with a griddle (some models)

The griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for

cooking foods that require large flat surfaces such as

pancakes, French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and

also for cooking different foods at the same time.

After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash

with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not

put a griddle in a dishwasher.

If you would like to purchase a griddle, you can order one

from Frigidaire.com.

Using the griddle:

Place the griddle securely on top of the burner grates.

Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low

setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during

the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI

setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent

even heat distribution.

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.

Figure 10: Griddle

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.

Types of oven racks

• Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs

and may be placed in most oven rack positions.

•The offset oven rack (some models) provides addi-

tional step down positions from the standard flat rack

design. The offset design positions the base of the rack

about ½ of a rack position lower than the flat rack and

may be used in most oven rack positions. To maximize

oven cooking space, place the bottom oven rack in the

lowest rack position for baking or roasting large cuts of

meat.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset

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 11: 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.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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.

To use convection roast at a temperature of 350°F

(177°C):

1. Place rack in positions 1, 2, or 3.

2. Place the meat on the broiler pan and insert.

3. Make sure the insert is securely seated on top of the

broiler pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert.

4. Place meat (fat side up) on insert

5. Place prepared food on oven rack and slide into oven.

6. Close the door.

7. Press the Conv key twice. Roast will appear in the

display.

8. Press START. The convection fan will turn on after 6

minutes.

9. 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.

WARNING

CAUTION

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.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

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 28). 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 29).

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 27, and always use

a pot holder to protect hands from possible burns.

or device could result in damage to the oven control,

electronics, and the receptacle.

•Before starting self clean, double check that the probe

is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen

foods completely before inserting the probe.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

To set probe:

1. Insert the probe into the food. Place prepared food on

the desired oven rack position and slide into the oven.

2. Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the

probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The recep-

tacle is located on the upper left front oven cavity wall

(See Figure 27).

3. When the probe is set, an acceptance tone will sound,

the probe icon will illuminate, and the actual probe

temperature appears in the display (See Figure 30).

Close the oven door.

4. Press probe key once. Enter the desired target food

temperature using the numeric keys and set tempera-

ture for food type.

Note: The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC); the maximum

is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC).

5. Press START to accept the target temperature.

6. Set for Quick Preheat, Bake, convection bake, or

convection roast and if necessary adjust the oven

temperature accordingly.

7. The control will provide three beeps when the internal

target temperature is reached.

8. The oven will automatically change to a Keep Warm

setting and the actual probe temperature will remain in

the display. Keep Warm will maintain the oven tempera-

ture at 170°F (77°C) for 3 hours unless otherwise

cancelled.

9. To stop cooking at any time, press OFF.

Figure 30: Probe set showing probe temperature

During cooking the internal food temperature will display

by default. To see the target temperature press the probe

key once. After 6 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 OVEN CONTROLS

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 dis-

ables all audible tones or visual display changes on the

oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature avail-

able 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, the Bake Time, and Delay Start

options (if needed). Any settings made prior to setting the

Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays. The Bake Time

option, if set prior to the Sabbath mode, will give one

audible alert at the end of Bake Time.

The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 6 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

Bake Time, Delay Start, or 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 21 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

audible tone (about 6 seconds). The factory offset

temperature of 0 (zero) should appear in the display.

2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keypad.

3. To offset the oven by -20°F, press self clean to toggle

between + and -.

4. Press START to accept change.

Important note:

•Oven temperature adjustments will not change the

Broil, Self Clean, or Keep Warm temperatures.

•The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your

oven control is set to display temperatures in °C

(Celsius). Minimum and maximum settings for Celsius

range from plus (+)19°C to minus (-) 19°C.

All of the above user settings will be restored to the

factory default settings.

CAUTION

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 func-

tion 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 35). 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.

setting, be sure to first set the control in the 24 Hr

display mode.

•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.

•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

clean. See “Self Clean” on page 38.

•Do not add bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, or any

other abrasive household cleaners to the water used

for Steam Clean.

•Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be

sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool.

The oven may be hot and can cause burns.

Figure 36: Add 1 cup of tap water

CAUTION

Figure 37: Clean around the oven door gasket

Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible.

Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning

later.

•Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all

controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.

•If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must

be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly

rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer's

instructions and provide adequate ventilation.

oughly dry immediately following cleaning.

CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

Cleaning the sealed burners

To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning before

turning off all surface burners and allowing them to cool.

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for

this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs

must be made by an authorized qualified Agency. Routinely

clean the cooktop. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe

dry to avoid scratches. Keeping the surface burner head

ports and slots clean will prevent improper ignition and an

uneven flame.

To clean recessed and contoured areas of cooktop:

•If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured

areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth.

•Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To clean burner heads:

1. Remove the burner cap from the burner head (see

Figure 39). Clean the cap with hot soapy water and dry

thoroughly.

2. For burned-on and dried spills, apply hot soapy water to

the burner head. Allow time for the soils to soften.

3. Use a toothbrush to clean all over the burner head (see

Figure 40).

4. Use the toothbrush to clean the slots and holes in the

burner (see Figure 40).

5. Use a needle or fine wire to clean out the ignition port

(see Figure 40).

•Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials

such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap

heat, causing a fire hazard.

•Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line

the oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners

may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

•Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the

surface elements under any circumstances.

•Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is

much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the

cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry

when using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be

damaged or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break, or

mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently

damaging the cooktop surface.

•To avoid possible burns do not attempt to operate the

surface burners without the burner caps.

•Do not use spray oven cleaner on the cooktop.

Excessive spills on oven bottom. Remove excessive spills before starting self clean.

Failure to clean 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. These areas are not in the

self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before

starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon

brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.

Problem Cause / Solution

BEFORE YOU CALL

The oven control display shows

"SPr" and self-clean is not

working.

The cooktop should not be used during a self-clean cycle. On some models, turning

on any cooktop surface burner will cause the clean cycle to cancel. If the clean cycle

is canceled, the oven control display will show “SPr" for 5 seconds. The oven door will

remain locked until the oven has cooled down below cleaning temperature. If the

oven is below cleaning temperature, the user can start another clean cycle immedi-

ately. If the oven is in cleaning temperature range, another self-clean cycle can be set

once the door unlocks (up to 4 hours).
