Function Description

The Frigidaire Electric Range with Induction Cooktop is a kitchen appliance designed for cooking food using both an induction cooktop and an electric oven. The induction cooktop utilizes electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly, offering efficient and precise temperature control. The electric oven provides various cooking modes, including baking, broiling, and self-cleaning, to accommodate diverse culinary needs.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications such as voltage, wattage, or dimensions. However, it implies standard electrical requirements for a range. The induction cooktop features multiple cooking zones, and the oven has a temperature range suitable for typical baking and broiling. The self-clean cycle can run for 2 or 3 hours.

Usage Features

Product Record and Registration:

The manual includes sections for product record and registration, encouraging users to register their appliance online or by mail. It provides contact information for customer support in both the USA and Canada.

Important Safety Instructions:

A significant portion of the manual is dedicated to safety. It highlights warnings regarding tip-over hazards, emphasizing the importance of installing the anti-tip bracket. It also covers general safety precautions for unpacking, installation, and servicing, including proper grounding and electrical connections. Specific instructions are provided for using the appliance, such as not storing flammable materials in or on the range, supervising children, and proper handling of hot surfaces and bakeware.

Cooking Recommendations:

This section offers guidance on bakeware materials, noting that shiny metal bakeware is best for even heating, while dark metal and glass bakeware cook hotter and may require a 25°F (13-14°C) temperature reduction. Insulated bakeware cooks cooler and may require a 25°F (13-14°C) temperature increase. It also addresses cooking conditions like aging cookware and high altitude, suggesting adjustments to cooking times and recipes. Tips for baking include preheating the oven, using the window and oven light to check food, and allowing at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for air circulation. Broiling/roasting recommendations suggest using a broil pan with an insert to drain fat and reduce spatters.

Before Setting Surface Controls:

This section explains the principles of electromagnetic induction and induction features like fast heating, precise control, even heating, and cooler cooktop surfaces. It details how to identify suitable cookware using the magnet test (cookware must be magnetic and have a flat bottom). It also describes how the cooktop senses cookware and displays error messages if unsuitable cookware is used or if the pan is too small or off-center. The manual provides visual cues for pan sensing, including flashing "P" for error messages and indicators for pan size and placement.

Setting Surface Controls:

The cooktop display windows show power levels (P for Power Boost, H for High, L for Low, and numbers 2-9 for increment settings). The Power Boost setting provides maximum power for up to 10 minutes. The Hot Surface Indicator Light illuminates when a cooking zone is hot. The manual provides a table of recommended power levels for various cooking tasks, from melting food to boiling water. It also includes instructions for operating the cooktop, emphasizing the importance of using correctly sized cookware and ensuring proper air circulation around the fan.
