IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
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.
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.
•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.
•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.
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns,
ignitionofflammablematerials,andspillageduetounintentional
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.
•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.
•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.
•Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
•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

See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with this range
for complete installation and grounding instructions.
Grounding Instructions
(electric ignition models only)
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use
an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding prong
from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire or death.
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle.
DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded. For
maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an
electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.
DO NOT Operate the range using a 2-prong adapter or an
extension cord. If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available
outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it

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.
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.
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. Donotattempttodeepfatfrytoomuchfoodatonceasthefood
will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size
High Flame

Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
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 yellow-
orange. To clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.
Proper Burner
Adjustments
Your range is equipped with 4 standard burners, 2 standard and 2 large
burners, or 3 standard and 1 large burner. 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.
Setting Surface
Controls
The controls shown below may not
look identical to the Surface Controls
knobs on your range; They are only
representational.
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 the Surface Control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF
position.
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four 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. Pushthecontrolknobinandturncounterclockwisetothedesiredflamesize.
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
push in and 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.

cleaners can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
Oven Cleaning
Follow these cleaning precautions:
•
Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.
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
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS

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.
Ammoniamustberinsed
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
resultsandcausepermanentdamage
to the oven interior (aluminum foil
willmelttotheinteriorsurfaceofthe
oven).
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, broiler drawer
glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic 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"ToRemoveandReplaceOvenBottom"underGeneralCleaning.
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive
pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.

Continuous Cleaning Oven (some models)
Oven Cleaning
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.
(continued)
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
•
Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.
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.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS
LATER.
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.
Ammonia must be rinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
DO NOT use oven
cleaners, gritty cleansers, coarse
abrasivepadsorbrushes,siliconesprays
or metal scrapers on the interior walls,
oven frame or ceiling of a continuous
cleaning oven. Permanent damage to
the oven may result.
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.
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
melttotheinteriorsurfaceoftheoven).
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.
10
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.
General Cleaning
(continued)
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS
COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not
attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
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.
Note: The burner cap assembly refers
to all parts of the sealed burner unit
(burnercap,burnerpan(somemodels),
trim ring (some models), locating tab,
burner base and electrode).
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.
Use caution when
replacingtheburnercapsotheelectrode
is not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignition or prevent the burner
from igniting.
To Replace the Burner Cap Assembly
Make sure the burner cap assembly is thoroughly dry before placing back on
the burner.
Any additions, changes
or conversions required in order for this
appliance to satisfactorily meet the
application needs must be made by an
authorized Frigidaire Home Products
Distributor or Qualified Agency.
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.
