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. Reduce the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) when using glass bakeware. Glass is convenient, as the same piece of bakeware can be used for cooking, serving, and storing food. Insulated bakeware Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware. Increase the cooking temperature by 25° F (13-14° C) when using insulated bakeware. Insulated bakeware is designed for baking in gas ovens. 9 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. Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster. Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes. Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation. Foods may take longer to bake. Increase bake time or oven temperature. Doughs may rise faster. Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice. If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging. 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 19. 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 performance. Food placement Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation. 10 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. 11 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. 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. 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 placement. Figure 3: Gently move cap for proper placement Burner cap IMPORTANT Burner cap lip Burner head Figure 1: Figure 2: • 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. Burner caps and burner heads Proper burner cap placement CAUTION • 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. 12 Please note that the burner cap should not move off the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side. BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Install burner grates To install burner grates, place the grates flat-side down and align them into the cooktop recess. 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 5 and Figure 6. Figure 5: Testing 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). Figure 4: Proper grate installation IMPORTANT • 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. • 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. Figure 6: Proper cookware 13 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Cookware Material Types Gas surface burner 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: 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. • Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting). • Small burners are best used for low-flame heating of small amounts of food. • • Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See Aluminum). Standard burners can be used for most surface cooking needs. • • 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. The largest burner is best used for bringing large quantities 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. • Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. • Glass - Slow heat conductor. CAUTION 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. IMPORTANT Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may damage the cooktop. CAUTION Do not straddle cookware over two burner areas unless the cookware is specifically designed for that purpose. 14 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. 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. • The smaller SIMMER burner is best suited for simmering delicate sauces, etc. • The larger POWER burner or QUICK BOIL burner is recommended for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food. WARNING 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. 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. WARNING • 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. Figure 7: Surface control knob CAUTION • 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. 15 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS 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. 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. 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 CAUTION 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). Figure 8: 16 Flame settings SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Cooking with a griddle (some models) 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. 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 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. 17 BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Oven Vent Location Types of oven racks 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 rack Figure 12: Oven rack types • Figure 11: Oven vent Flat oven racks may be used for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack positions. Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool. WARNING 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. CAUTION • 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. • 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. 18 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.
