QUICK CARE
Quick ongoing care keeps your range working great for years to come! Use a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream before cooking for the first time to protect your cooktop from scratches. To clean up spills after cooking, clean with warm water and mild soap, or try our line of Frigidaire™ ReadyClean cleaners, available on our website. Refer to your Use & Care Guide for more tips to keep your ceramic cooktop clean.
- Be careful! The cooktop is durable, but is made from ceramic. Use with care.
- Do not spray cleaners on any electrical controls or switches.
FAQs
Why does my range make noises when I’m cooking?
Temp changes during preheat and cool-down can make parts of the range expand and contract. The controls click as they work to create even cooking temps in the oven and on the cooktop zones. Different fans run to heat up the oven or cool down different parts of range, even when it’s off. These sounds are normal.
This oven doesn’t work like my old one. What’s wrong?
We know adjustment isn’t always easy. As you get used to a new range, you may need to test and adjust cooking times and temperatures for recipes. Consult your Use & Care Guide for bakeware and cooking recommendations, and to see detailed instructions on how to adjust temperature or call us if you need help!
Why does my oven smoke when I use the broil setting?
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element. Broil with the oven door closed, and watch food to prevent burning.
Do you need a broiler pan, bakeware, or some smart new utensils to freshen up your cooking?
