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. Different fans run to heat up the oven or cool down different parts of oven, 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 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. Watch food to prevent burning. Find more troubleshooting tips in the back of your Use & Care Guide.

Does this range have a downdraft vent

There’s no external exhaust vent

Is ceramic or glass top?

Glass

What is Air Fry?

Air Fry allows you to make healthier, crispy and delicious meals for the entire family – right in your oven.

How do I use it?

Select “Air Fry” on the Control Panel.
Set desired cooking temperature.
Let the convection fan “fry” your food.
Enjoy healthier, yummy family favorites!

Do I need to use an Air Fry tray to get the best results?

We recommend using our ReadyCook™ Air Fry Tray. It allows you to get that delicious, crunchy texture, faster than dark nonstick bakeware.

How do I limit the amount of smoke when using the ReadyCook™ Air Fry Tray?

Air Fry uses superheated air to cook food fast and make it crunchy. Although Air Fry uses hot air to cook, remember that you are still frying your food so it gets crispy! When some high-fat or greasy foods (like fresh wings) meet that hot air inside an oven, some smoke is normal. If Air Fry is making a lot of smoke, try these tips:
When using the Air Fry Tray, put a baking sheet on a rack or two below the Air Fry Tray. This keeps drips and crumbs from landing on the oven bottom, where they can burn and create smoke. For additional protection, place some foil-lined parchment paper on the baking sheet. Parchment paper traps oil and keeps it from smoking.
Use cooking oils that can stand up to a high temperature like avocado, grapeseed, and peanut oils. Cooking sprays made from these oils are available at the grocery store.
Keep foil, parchment paper, and bakeware of the bottom of the oven. The oven bottom needs to stay clear so air can circulate.
Don’t overcrowd the food on your baking sheet or on the Air Fry Tray. If air can’t circulate around each item, the cooking and crisping process may slow down and allow more grease to settle or drip.
If your catch-tray is smoking, try placing parchment paper on it to hold grease. For extra moist foods, you may have to use more.
Some foods, like fresh wings and some vegetables, have a lot of moisture and may drip more than you expect. For items that might drip, use a pan with low sides if you’re not using an Air Fry Tray.
Air Fry uses superheated air, so if your oven bottom already has drips or crumbs on it (it happens!), those can smoke. Keep your oven bottom clean.
If you have an oven vent, use it when cooking with Air Fry, like you would when using the cooktop.

How do I improve my baking results with my Frigidaire range?

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.
