IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food in 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 fl at bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized 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 in the cooking areas will improve efficiency.

Always turn the knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that the 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 — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers 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 cooktop service without breaking due to sudden temperature changes. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use. When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

COOKING RECOMMENDATIONS

Bakeware
The material of bakeware acts how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food

Cooking Conditions
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.

Cooking Results
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.

Cooking Tips
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

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 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.

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.

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.

1. Remove all packing material from the cooktop area.
2. Make sure the burner head and caps are properly placed on the surface burners.

Important
The burner head has a hole that fits over the ignitor. Make sure the head fits snugly before placing the burner caps.

Note
Unpack the burner grates and position them on the cooktop after the burner heads and caps are properly installed.

Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for the best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in “Figure 2: Testing cookware” and “Figure 3: Proper cookware”.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see “Figure 2: Testing cookware”). Cookware should have fl at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element

Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element 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. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast Iron – A slow heat conductor, but will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal – Heating characteristics will vary depending on the base material.
• Glass – Slow heat conductor.

Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates side down and align them into the cooktop recess.

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) website 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 fl at 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 the canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1 inch (25mm) beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter canners on the 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 setting when first bringing the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to the 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 use small amounts and light loads.

Do not leave water baths or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.

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 utensils on the center of the surface burner grate. Be sure the cooking utensil rests stably on the burner grate.
2. Push the burner’s surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (Figure 1).
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 fl ame, push the surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the desired fl ame size setting. Adjust the flame as needed using the knob markings.

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 the same should be steady and sharp. Adjust or clean the burner if the ame 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 the proper flame size for various types of cooking (Table 1).

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

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, and 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 preheating ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on the I set. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

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 the oven vent. Never close the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
