IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

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.

•Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

•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 o the utensil.

•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Burners—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—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

•Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

•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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

•Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer—

Stand to the side of the range 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. The oven vent is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could 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 use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

•Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

•Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR

RANGE

•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that

could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

•Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the

manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS

•Do Not Use Oven Cleaners on the oven liner or any of the

continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be identified by their rough surface finish.

Grounding Instructions

Flame Size

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.

Proper Burner

Adjustments

Setting Surface

Controls

The control shown below may not look identical to the Surface Control knobs on your range; it is only representational.

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control 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 undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size

High Flame

Type of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling

Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam

Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.

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 sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yelloworange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.

Your range is equipped with 4 standard burners, 3 standard and 1 large burner, or 2 standard and 2 large burners. Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.

For models equipped with the large burners, the larger burner is best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.

Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is turned to the LITE position.

To operate the surface burner:

1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors will click at the same time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.

3. Visually check that the burner has lit.

4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the Surface Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position.)

In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can 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. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.

These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

Oven Cleaning

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY

SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE

THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS

LATER.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

Porcelain Enamel Oven (some models)

Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners can be used on all interior oven surfaces.

General Cleaning

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

To Remove Heavy Soil

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot, soapy water.

Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO

NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners.

3. 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. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:

1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A change in its position could affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.

3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

To Clean the Oven Bottom

The oven bottom in porcelain enamel oven models can be removed for

cleaning. See "To Remove and Replace Oven Bottom" under General Cleaning.

Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.

Oven Cleaning

(continued)

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY

SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE

THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS

LATER.

DO NOT use oven cleaners, gritty cleansers, coarse abrasive pads or brushes, silicone sprays or metal scrapers on the interior walls, oven frame or ceiling of a continuous cleaning oven. Permanent damage to

the oven may result.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

Continuous Cleaning Oven (some models)

Continuous cleaning ovens have a special coating which is a porous ceramic material. This rough coating tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little beads which run down the side walls leaving streaks that require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the porous coating, it disperses and is partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of oven soil to heated air, making it less noticeable.

Soil may not disappear completely. Remaining soil will gradually fade with continued oven use. The special coating works best on small amounts of

spatter. Larger spills, or spills generating from sugar, egg and dairy mixtures, do not clean as well.

If difficult soils occur:

1. Remove the oven racks and cookware.

2. Remove soils by completing steps a or b below: a) Use hot, soapy water and wash soils using a nylon-bristly brush or a nylon mesh scouring pad. DO NOT rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges. They will leave lint on the oven coating.

b) Apply ammonia with a sponge and dab it into the porous coating. Leave the ammonia on the soiled area for 30 minutes.

3. Rinse with clear water.

4. Close the oven door and push in and turn the Temperature Control knob to 450°F (230°C).

5. Operate oven for 15 minutes.

6. Remaining soil will fade with continued oven use.

To Clean the Oven Bottom

The oven bottom is not a continuous cleaning finish. Oven cleaners can be

used on the oven bottom only. Remove the oven bottom before using oven cleaners. DO NOT get oven cleaner on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces.

Note: To remove or replace oven bottom, see "To Remove and Replace Oven

Bottom" under General Cleaning.

To clean, use hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner (on the oven bottom only) following manufacturer's instructions.

REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER.

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-

up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean as instructed above.

Squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft, then push the knob(s) into place.

Clean burner grates, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal.

If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop cleaning instructions below.

Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO

NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.

Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30-40 minutes. Rinse.

Cleaners made especially for stainless steel are recommended. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.

Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven

Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).

The holes in the burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and a complete, even flame. Clean the burner holes routinely with a small gauge wire or needle and especially after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.

The holes in the burners of your range must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and a complete, even flame. Clean the burner holes routinely with a small gauge wire or needle and especially after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.

To remove, clean and replace sealed burner units, follow the instructions under

General Cleaning. DO NOT put burner units in the dishwasher.

To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the door in water.

General Cleaning

(continued)

Unlike the standard gas range, THIS

COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Note: The burner cap assembly refers to all parts of the sealed burner unit

(burner cap, burner pan (some models), trim ring (some models), locating tab, burner base and electrode).

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by an authorized Frigidaire or Tappan

Distributor or Qualified Agency.

To Clean the Cooktop

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately.

To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To Clean the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Cap Assembly, Trim

Ring (some models), Burner Pan (some models) and Burner

Base

The contoured well areas, burner cap assembly, trim ring (some models), burner pan (some models) and burner base should be routinely cleaned.

Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. See instructions below.

To Clean the Contoured Well Areas

The contoured well is a recessed area located around each burner unit. If a spill occurs in one of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To Remove the Burner Cap Assembly

The burner cap assembly parts differ per model. Your assembly will consist of one of the following combinations: burner cap and trim ring; burner cap and burner pan; or burner cap, trim ring and burner pan. Remove in the following order: (1st) burner cap, (2nd) trim ring and (3rd) burner pan. Do not operate

the burners without the burner cap assembly in place.

To Clean the Burner Cap, Burner Pan (some models) and Trim Ring (some models)

Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps, trim rings and burner pans.

To Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening

The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean small slots or holes.Use care to prevent damage to the electrode. If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or damage the electrode. If the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light.

For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner—DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS,

FOOD, CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS

OPENING. Gas must flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly. If the orifice gas opening becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap assembly in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly

Make sure the burner cap assembly is thoroughly dry before placing back on the burner.

1. Lower burner pan (some models) into place around the burner base.

2. Replace trim ring (some models).

3. Find the locating tabs on the burner cap and place in the locating slots in the burner base. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.

4. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light after cleaning, contact an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

Changing Oven Light

(some models)

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the surface or oven lights. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

To Change the Oven Light (some models)

On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door is opened. Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The oven light is located at the rear of the oven.

To replace the oven light:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.

2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.

3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).

4. The clock(if equipped) will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting the

Clock and Minute Timer in this Owner's Guide.

Avoid Service Checklist

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense.

The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Range is not level.

Cannot move appliance easily.

Appliance must be accessible for service.

Surface burners do not light.

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When oven is level, cooktop may not appear to be level with countertop.

Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range.

Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

Gas line is hard-plumbed. Have a flexible A.G.A./C.G.A. approved metal appliance connector installed.

Surface Control knob has not been completely turned to LITE. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE until burner ignites and then turn control to desired flame size.

Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean ports. See "Surface Burners" in the cleaning chart under General

Cleaning for additional cleaning instructions.

Range power cord is disconnected from outlet. Be sure cord is securely plugged into the outlet.

Electric power outage. Burners can be lit manually. See Setting Surface

Controls in this Owner's Guide.

Oven does not operate.

Entire appliance does not operate.

Oven Light (some models) does not work

Oven smokes excessively during broiling.

Poor baking results.

Burner ports are clogged. With the burner off, clean the ports with a smallgauge wire or needle.

Moisture is present after cleaning. Lightly fan the flame and allow burner to operate until flame is full. Dry the burners thoroughly following instructions under General Cleaning.

Dust particles in main line. Allow the burner to operate a few minutes until flame turns blue.

In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame is unavoidable due to salt air.

Temperature Control knob is not set properly. Make sure the Temperature

Control knob is set to the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls.

Be sure regulator gas valve is "ON." See Installation Instructions.

Make sure cord/plug is plugged securely into outlet.

Service wiring not complete. Contact servicer or dealer.

Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service. Surface burners can be lit manually. See Setting Surface

Controls in this Owner's Guide.

Be sure gas supply is turned on.

Burned-out or loose bulb. See Changing Cooktop and/or Oven Lights (some

models) in this Owner's Guide to replace or tighten the tube/bulb.

Meat too close to broil burner. Reposition the rack to provide more clearance between the meat and the broiler.

Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Slash remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into the lean.

Broiler pan used without grid or grid covered with foil. DO NOT use the broiler pan without grid or cover grid with foil.

Broiler drawer/door open. Make sure drawer/door is closed when broiling.

Broiler drawer/door needs cleaning. Excessive smoke is caused by old grease or food spatters. If the broiler is used often, clean on a regular basis.

Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used.

Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time.
