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 o 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

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  
knobs 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.

Porcelain Enamel Oven (some models)  
Oven Cleaning  
Adhere to the following cleaning  
precautions:  
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven  
cleaners can be used on all interior oven surfaces.  
General Cleaning  
Allow the oven to cool before  
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.  
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning  
the appliance manually.  
To Remove Heavy Soil  
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY  
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE  
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS  
LATER.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any  
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can  
damage these surfaces.  
To Clean the Oven Bottom

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.  
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.  
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.  
6. Remaining soil will fade with continued oven use.  
Ammoniamustberinsed  
before operating the oven. Provide

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

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 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.
