How do I improve my baking results with my Frigidaire range? Ex. My oven appears to be too hot or I have uneven temperatures.
You may be surprised to learn your bakeware can impact your baking results. By using the proper rack position, you can improve your baking results - - especially if you are baking on multiple racks. Your Owner’s Manual has great tips and tricks to optimize your baking performance and recommended rack positions based on food type. For more information or tips to try, review the “Before You Call” section of your Owner’s Manual if you are experiencing any issues with your baking performance.
How do I insert and remove my racks from my Frigidaire range?
The type of racks in your range may vary by model. Based on your appliance, your Owner’s Manual provides a description of various types of racks. Most racks can simply be removed by pulling the oven rack straight out until it reaches the stop position. Tilt up the front of the oven rack to slide past the stop position and pull the rack out of the oven cavity. To insert the rack, rest the oven rack evenly between a left and right front guide along the oven walls so that the oven rack rests level. Tilt front of the rack upward and slide rack in past the stop position. Then bring the rack to a level position and slide the rack completely inside the oven.
To keep your oven racks gliding smoothly when you’re removing or inserting them, we recommend applying cooking oil along their outer edges.
If your oven is equipped with the Effortless Oven Rack system, you can refer to your Owner’s Manual for specific instructions. The Effortless Oven Rack system will automatically partially extend the oven rack from the interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food items. This feature works whenever the oven door is opened or closed. IMPORTANT: Only the Effortless Oven Rack system should be used in the oven rack position 2. Placing any other rack in the oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door from fully closing and may damage the oven door, oven cavity or the door connector brackets.

It is recommended to use this feature to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe plates. Do not heat cold food on the warmer zone. Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for the oven and cooktop on the warmer zone. To set the warmer zone control:
Turn the warmer zone control knob to ON. The warmer zone uses a pre-set temperature designed to keep foods at serving temperature.
When ready to serve, turn the warmer zone OFF. The warmer zone will remain hot until the hot surface indicator light turns off.
How do I use the meat probe?
A meat probe works best with foods such as roasts, hams and poultry. The meat probe helps to ensure the internal food temperature reaches the desired "target" temperature. When the meat probe is active, it will display the internal food temperature, eliminating the need for any guesswork. To use the meat probe:
Insert the probe into the food and place the food on the desired oven rack.
Plug the connector end of the probe all the way into the probe receptacle while the oven is still cool. The receptacle is located on the upper left front part of the oven wall.
When the probe is detected, an acceptance tone will sound, and icon will illuminate on the oven display.
A meat probe does not accompany all models so you may want to refer to yourOwner’s Manualfor additional information.
What do the indicator lights on my range mean?
Your appliance may be equipped with 2 different types of surface indicator lights - the element on indicator light and/or the hot surface indicator light. The element on indicator light is usually located on the display panel and will illuminate when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy way to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. The hot surface indicator light is usually located on the display panel and will illuminate when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a moderate level.

When and how do I use steam clean?
The Steam Clean feature (not applicable on all models) offers a chemical free and time saving method to assist in the routine cleaning of light soils on the oven bottom. For heavier baked on soils, we recommend using the Self Clean feature. If your appliance is equipped with the Steam Clean feature, your Owner’s Manual will provide important information. To set a Steam Clean cycle:
Remove all racks and oven accessories.
Scrape or wipe loose debris and grease from the oven bottom.
Pour 1 cup of water onto the oven bottom and close the oven door. (Image available in Owner’s manual)
Press Steam Clean.
Press either the up or down arrow to activate. “St Cn” will appear in your range display.
The time remaining in the Steam Clean cycle is shown in the display. Do not open the door during this team. If door is open while in steam clean (d-O) will appear in the display. Opening the door during Steam Clean will prevent the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.
Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent or oven door glass during the cycle and this is normal.
When the steam clean cycle is complete, an alert will sound and the END message will show in the display. Press OFF to return to the clock.
Take care opening the door when the steam clean is finished. Stand to the side of the oven out of the way of escaping vapor.
Wipe oven cavity and bottom immediately after the cycle is complete. You may want to place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping. Your oven door gasket may become damp but do not wipe dry.
Press OFF to stop Steam cleaning at any time during the cycle.
Why does my surface element appear to go on and off on my ceramic glass cooktop?
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even on the HI setting. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat. The element will retain enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For more information, review the “Before You Call” section of your Owner’s Manual if you are experiencing any issues with your surface elements.

Induction Range FAQs
What are the benefits of Induction?
Induction cooking directly heats the pan; heating will only begin when cookware is properly placed on the cooking zones. Fast and efficient - Induction cooking zones heat faster and use less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and they are efficient when simmering. A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction cooking zones is, whether it is turned on or off, the cooking zones remain cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the presence of cookware. Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zones make cleanup easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up easily. Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that automatically detects whether cookware is magnetic. This will reduce accidental “turn-ons.” Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the induction cooking zones to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking. More responsive - Induction cooking zones are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
I am a new owner of an Induction Range and would like a Quick Start Guide
For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recommended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on the induction cooking zones. Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations when using cookware made for induction cooking. To check if the cookware base material is suitable, use a magnet to test. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct. The most common induction cookware types available are:
Stainless steel - Generally excellent for induction cooking plus it is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. However, it is important to note that not all stainless steel is magnetic.
Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly. Do not slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron cookware with a rough surface will scratch ceramic cooktop.
Porcelain-enamel coated metals - Heating characteristics will vary depending on quality of base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching the ceramic cooktop. For more information or tips on cookware, visit your Owner’s Manual.
Why does my Induction Range make noises when I’m cooking?
Some cookware can hum or buzz when used in induction cooking. The surface and oven controls click as they work to create even cooking temps. Temp changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. Different fans run to heat up the oven or cool down different parts of the range, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal.
