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
Medium Flame
Low 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, 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.
Setting Surface
Controls
The control shown below may not
look identical to the Surface Control
knob on your range; it is 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 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. Aftertheburnerlights, turnthecontrolknobtothedesiredflamesize. 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.

Setting Warmer Drawer Arranging Warmer Drawer Rack Positions
Set the warmer drawer rack in the vertical position as shown below.
Controls
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
(if equipped)
In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both
under and on top of the rack (for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the
rack and a casserole dish under).
In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items
and empty dishware (for example, rolls or pastries and dinner plates).
Upright
Position
To Operate the Warmer Drawer
Your range is equipped with a warmer drawer. The purpose of the warmer
drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the warmer
drawer to keep hot foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, meats, casseroles,
biscuits and rolls, pastries and heated dinner plates. Always start with hot
food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.
The warmer drawer is equipped with a catch which may require extra force
when opening and closing the drawer.
Downward
Position
All food placed in the warmer drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum
foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the
warmer drawer.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from
the warmer drawer as cookware and plates will be hot.
Indicator Light
The indicator light is located below the thermostat control. It turns on when
the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The warmer
drawer is inoperable during the self-clean cycle. The indicator light will not
come on during 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.

Oven Cleaning
Self-Cleaning Oven
During the self-cleaning
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.
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near
the appliance.
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 line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other
partoftherangewithaluminumfoil.
Doing so will destroy heat
distribution, produce poor baking
resultsandcausepermanentdamage
to the oven interior (aluminum foil
willmelttotheinteriorsurfaceofthe
oven).
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. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through
the clean 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.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
Ifitbecomesnecessarytostoporinterruptaself-cleaningcycleduetoexcessive
smoke or fire:
1. Push CLEAR.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has
gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the
self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Warmer Drawer, Door Liner
and Oven Bottom
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.
Oven Racks
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.
Surface Burners - Sealed
Burner Units - Burner Cap,
Trim Ring (some models),
Burner Pans (some models),
and Burner Base
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.
Oven Door
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse
the door in water.

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
Use caution when
replacingtheburnercapsotheelectrode
is not damaged. This may cause a
delayed ignition or prevent the burner
from igniting.
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.
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.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burnerDO 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.
