Frigidaire Oven: How to Use

If you've just bought a Frigidaire oven—or moved into a home that has one—you may be wondering how to use it properly. Whether it’s a basic model or one with advanced features, this guide will walk you through the essentials of using a Frigidaire oven safely and effectively.


Getting Started: Know Your Oven

Most Frigidaire ovens are equipped with the following functions:


  • Bake
  • Broil
  • Timer & Clock
  • Preheat
  • Self-Clean (on some models)
  • Convection Bake/Roast (on advanced models)


Step 1: Set the Clock

Before using your oven, set the clock:


  1. Press the “Clock” button.
  2. Use the arrow keys or keypad to enter the correct time.
  3. Press “Start” to confirm.


Step 2: Preheat the Oven


  1. Press the “Bake” button.
  2. Use the number pad to enter the temperature (e.g., 350°F).
  3. Press “Start.”
  4. The display will show "PRE" until the oven reaches temperature, then beep to let you know it's ready.


👉 Tip: Wait for the oven to fully preheat before placing your food inside for best results.


Step 3: Bake or Roast


  • Once preheated, open the door and place your food inside.
  • Close the door gently and monitor the cooking time using the oven timer.
  • To set a timer: Press “Timer On/Off”, set the desired time, then press “Start.”


Step 4: Use the Broil Feature


  1. Press “Broil.”
  2. Choose Hi or Lo (depending on what you’re cooking).
  3. Press “Start.”
  4. Broil with the oven door slightly ajar and keep a close eye—broiling cooks quickly!


Step 5: Turn Off the Oven

When you’re done:


  • Press the “Cancel” or “Clear/Off” button to turn off the oven.


Optional: Use Convection Settings

If your model includes convection bake/roast:


  • Press “Conv Bake” or “Conv Roast”.
  • Set your temperature and press “Start.”
  • Convection fans circulate air for faster, more even cooking.


Using the Self-Cleaning Feature (If Available)


  1. Remove oven racks and any foil or spills.
  2. Press “Self Clean.”
  3. Choose the cleaning time (usually 2–4 hours).
  4. Press “Start.”


🚨 Caution: The oven will get very hot and lock the door until the cycle is complete and it cools down.


Troubleshooting or Error Codes?

If your Frigidaire oven shows an error code or isn't heating properly, it could be an issue with:


  • A faulty temperature sensor
  • The control board
  • A broken bake or broil element
