Grounding Instructions
(electric ignition models only)
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and
shouldbeplugged directlyintoa properlygrounded 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
electricaloutletthatiscorrectlypolarizedandproperlygrounded.
If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the
personal responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
Do not under any circumstances
cut or remove the 3rd round
groundingprongfromthepower
cord plug. Do not operate the
range using a 2-prong adapter
or an extension cord. See the
Installation Instructions
packaged with this range for
complete installation and
grounding instructions.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
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.
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 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 the surface
burner pans, the oven bottom or any other part of the range. Only
use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum
foil may interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion.
Damage to the range or personal injury may result.
Glazed Cooking UtensilsOnly certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable
for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for
rangetop use.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers.If a burner is
accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on. Burns
will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating.
Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Use Care When Opening Door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 is vented 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 oven burner
flame or interior of the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before
removing rack.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
range or turn off the power to the range before removing and
replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORCLEANINGYOUR
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 burner. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters
should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Kitchen cleaners/aerosolsAlways follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:
Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven
listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.
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.
Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

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.
*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.
Your range is equipped with either 4 standard sized sealed burners or 2 standard
sizeed and 2 larger sized sealed burners. The amount and type of food being
prepared, and the size and type of utensils being used will determine the suitability
of the surface burner used.
Ifequippedthelarger surface burner isbestutilizedwhenbringinglargequantities
ofliquid totemperature,preparinglargerquantitiesoffood,orusinglarger,heavier
utensils.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edgeofthe utensil. Ahigherflame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases
your risk of being burned by the flame.

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 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.

the self-clean cycle.
To Set the Thermostat Control
The thermostat control is used to select the temperature of the warmer drawer. It
is located on the control panel. To set the thermostat, push in and turn the knob to
the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI,
MED and LO.
1. Select the temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer will
preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the thermostat control to OFF.
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart in the side column for recommended settings. If a particular food
is not listed, start with the medium setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the
lid or aluminum foil.
Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium setting.
When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with
2 vegetables and rolls), use the high setting.
Refrain from opening the warmer drawer while in use to eliminate loss of heat from
the drawer.

DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poorbaking resultsandcausepermanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum
foil will melt to the interior surface of the
oven).
During the self-cleaning
cycle,theoutsideoftherangecanbecome
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave
small children unattended near the
appliance.
Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the
self-clean cycle.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of
the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove
the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could
cause damage.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Ovenracksmaybeleftinthe ovenor maybe removed.If theygothroughtheclean
cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle
is complete and the oven has cooled, 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 position).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills
with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices
or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning.
5. 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. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

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. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull
straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob
and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turnall controlsto OFF.Clean usinghot, soapywater and
a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from
thecloth beforewiping thepanel;especiallywhenwipingaroundthecontrols.Excess water
in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Cleaners made especially for
stainless steel are recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to
rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed. To
replaceknobsafter cleaning,line up theflat sidesofboth theknoband theshaft; then push
the knob into place.
Clean in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not removed, follow the cooktop
cleaning instructions below.
Gentlescouring witha soapyscouring padwill removemost spots.Rinse witha 1:1solution
of clear 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, and 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 rangetop.
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 burners routinely and especially after bad spillovers
which could clog these holes.
To remove, clean and replace the entire burner cap assembly, follow the instructions under
General Cleaning. DO NOT put burner parts in the dishwasher.
Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-clean cycle for cleaning. If
removed, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.
Rinse with clean water and dry.
If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish
will be dull. After the self-clean cycle is complete, and the oven has cooled, 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).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse the
door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material
which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the
gasket.

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 Distributor or
Qualified Agency.
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).
Unlike the standard gas range, THIS
COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not
attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
General Cleaning
(continued)
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
Thecontouredwellareas,burnercapassembly, trimring (somemodels), burnerpan
(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
Thecontoured wellis arecessedarealocatedaroundeachburner unit.If aspilloccurs
inoneof the fourwellareas, blot upspillwith an absorbentcloth.Rinse with aclean,
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
ofthe followingcombinations: burnercap andtrim ring;burner capand burnerpan;
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
theelectrode. Ifthe electrodeis damagedor broken,the surfaceburner willnot 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.
