Frequently Asked Questions - FGP335GQ0 Roper

What should I do if the oven does not work?

First, ensure the oven temperature control knob is turned to a temperature setting. Also, verify that the main or regulator gas shutoff valve is open. If the burner fails to light, check if the ignitor is broken or if a household fuse is blown or circuit breaker tripped.

How do I clean the surface burners?

For cleaning, remove the burner grates and lift the cooktop. Clean the burner ports with a straight pin if clogged. Use soap and water or a non-abrasive scrub pad. Ensure the burners are completely dry before using.

How do I set the electronic timer?

Press the TIMER pad. Use the ▲ or ▼ pads to set the desired time (up to 12 hours 59 minutes). The timer starts counting down after 5 seconds. When time expires, four 1-second tones sound and "End" displays.

What should I do if a surface burner flame is uneven?

Uneven flames may indicate clogged burner ports. Clean the ports with a straight pin. Also, ensure the burner is dry. If the problem persists, the air/gas mixture may need adjustment by a qualified technician.

How do I remove the oven door for cleaning?

Remove the door stop clips by prying them out at the bottom corners. Close the door against the removal pins. Grasp the door sides, lift straight up, and pull toward you. To replace, insert hinge hangers into slots, rotate door toward range, and slide down onto support pins. Reinstall clips.

How do I adjust the oven temperature if it’s too hot or too cold?

Turn the oven temperature control knob to OFF. Pull the knob off and flip it over. Loosen the locking screws, then turn the skirt clockwise (to raise temperature) or counterclockwise (to lower). Each notch equals about 5°F. Tighten screws and replace knob.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Do not light any appliance or touch electrical switches. Evacuate the building and call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. If you cannot reach them, call the fire department. Do not return until it’s safe.

How do I properly install the anti-tip bracket?

Slide the range forward, locate the anti-tip bracket securely attached to the floor. Slide the range back so the rear foot is under the bracket. Ensure it is engaged. If the range is moved, re-engage the bracket. The bracket prevents tipping.

Can I use the oven during a power failure?

No. The oven burner cannot be lit manually during a power failure. However, the surface burners can be lit with a match by turning the knob to LIGHT and holding a lit match near the burner.

What type of cookware is recommended for best results?

Use cookware with flat bottoms, straight sides, and tight-fitting lids. Medium to heavy gauge aluminum or stainless steel with aluminum core provide even heating. Avoid glass or ceramic unless approved for surface use.

PARTS AND FEATURES

CONTROL PANEL

USING YOUR RANGE USING THE SURFACE BURNERS

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Using the control knobs

Your range comes with electric ignitors. Electric ignitors automatically light the burners each time you turn the control knobs to LIGHT.

• Place a filled pan on the burner grate before turning on the surface burner. Do not operate a burner for extended periods of time without having cookware on the grate.
• Push in the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the LIGHT position. The clicking sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the burner has lit.

Hand holding a knob with directional arrows indicating rotation (no text or symbols)

● To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights, turn the control knob to the cook setting you want. You can set the control knob any-

where between HIGH and LOW.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same time. However, the burner with the control knob turned to LIGHT is the one that will ignite.

Burner heat settings

Use the following chart as a guide.

SETTING	RECOMMENDED USE
LIGHT	● To light the burner.
HIGH	● To start food cooking.● To bring liquid to a boil.
Mid-range (between HIGH and LOW)	● To hold a boil.● To fry chicken or pancakes.● For gravy, pudding, and icing.● To cook large amounts of vegetables.
LOW	● To keep food warm.● To melt chocolate or butter.● To simmer.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The cookware could overheat, causing damage to the cookware or cooking product.

Easy ways to save energy

● To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.
● Preheat your pots and pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.
- Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

USING THE SURFACE BURNERS (CONT.)

In case of a prolonged power failure

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the LIGHT position. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the setting you want.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your range:

• For best results, use a canner which can be centered over the surface burner.
• Do not place your canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
• Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce the heat setting to the lowest position needed to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

- Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.

Using the right cookware makes a big difference

● The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.
- Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware.
● The pan material (metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.
- When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
● To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are centered on the grates.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

Aluminum	Heats quickly and evenly.Use for all types of cooking.Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Cast iron	Heats slowly and evenly.Good for browning and frying.Maintains heat for slow cooking.Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
Ceramic or ceramic glass	Heats slowly and unevenly.Use on low to medium settings.Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Copper	Heats very quickly and evenly.Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
Earthenware	Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the manufacturer.Use on low settings.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or enamel-on-cast iron	See cast iron and stainless steel.
Stainless steel	Heats quickly but unevenly.A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides even heating.Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

USING THE OVEN

Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them before turning on the oven.

● To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge and lift it out.
- Be sure the rack(s) is level.
- Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
- For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.
- When cooking with two racks, arrange the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. Two sheets of cookies may be baked if sheets are switched at approximately three quarters of the total bake time. Increase baking time, if necessary.
- For best results allow 2 inches of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.

Extra oven rack position (roasting rack)

Use this rack position when roasting food too large to

be placed on the first rack position.

For proper roasting, follow these guidelines:

● To avoid spillage, remove food before pulling out the rack.
● Tilt the rack up at the front before pulling it over the door.

- Use an adequate amount of liquid in the pan (meat juices or water) so your food does not get overdone.

Where to place pans:

WHEN YOU HAVE	PLACE
1 pan	In center of the oven rack.
2 pans	Side by side or slightly staggered.
3 or 4 pans	In opposite comers on each oven rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

casseroles by placing foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch larger than dish.

- Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum foil. It will reduce air circulation and give you poor cooking results.

• Do not line the oven bottom with foil or other liners. It could affect the oven surface as well as the quality of your baking.
• Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.
• Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

BAKEWARE CHOICES

Baking performance is affected by the type of bakeware used. Use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe.

BAKEWARE TYPE	BEST USED FOR	GUIDELINES
Light colored aluminum	·Light golden crusts·Even browning	·Use temperature and time recommended in recipe.
Dark aluminum and other bakeware with dark, dull, and/or non-stick finish	·Brown, crisp crusts	·May reduce baking temperature 25°F.·Use suggested baking time.·Use temperature and time recommended in recipe for pies, breads, and casseroles.·Place rack in center of oven.
Ovenproof glassware, ceramic glass, or ceramic	·Brown, crisp crusts	·May reduce baking temperature 25°F.
Insulated cookie sheets or baking pans	·Little or no bottom browning	·Place in the bottom third of oven.·May need to increase baking time.
Stainless steel	·Light, golden crusts·Uneven browning	·May need to increase baking time.
Stoneware	·Crisp crusts	·Follow manufacturer's instructions.

THE ELECTRONIC TIME-OF-DAY (TOD) CLOCK/TIMER (MODEL FGP335G)

BAKING/ROASTING

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure.

1. Place racks where you need them. For more information, see "Positioning racks and pans" in the "Using the oven" section.

1. Push in and turn the oven temperature control knob counterclockwise to the baking/roasting temperature you want. The oven burner will light by itself in 50-60 seconds.

1. When baking, preheat the oven before putting food into it. During baking/roasting, the oven burner will turn on and off to keep the oven temperature at the selected setting.

NOTE: Do not place food directly on the oven door or the oven bottom. If you want, place the food on the rack at the extra rack position.

1. After baking/roasting, turn the oven temperature control knob clockwise to OFF.

Roasting meats and poultry

• For even cooking, place the meat on a rack in a shallow pan. This keeps the meat out of the drippings and allows the heat to circulate better.
• Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Insert it so the tip is in the center of the largest muscle or thickest portion of the meat or poultry. Make sure the thermometer is not touching bone, fat, or the bottom of the pan.

Saving energy

● To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little as possible.
- Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.
- Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a meal.

Rack placement for specific foods:

FOOD	RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large roasts, turkeys, angel food cakes	1st or 2nd rack guide from bottom
Bundt cakes, most quick breads, yeast breads, casseroles, meats	2nd rack guide from bottom
Cookies, biscuits, muffins, cakes, nonfrozen pies	2nd or 3rd rack guide from bottom

NOTE: For information on where to place your rack when broiling, see "Broiling guidelines" later in this section.

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the temperature calibration by following the steps below.

NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

1. Make sure the oven temperature control knob is turned to the off position. Pull the knob straight off and flip it over.

1. Loosen the locking screws inside the control knob. Note the position of the notches.

1. Adjust the temperature.

2. To lower the temperature, hold the knob handle firmly and turn the skirt counterclockwise to move the tooth a notch to the "G" on the "COOLER" arrow.

3. To raise the temperature, hold the knob handle firmly and turn the skirt clockwise to move the tooth a notch to the "G" on the "HOTTER" arrow.

Each notch equals about 5^ F.

1. Tighten the locking screws and replace the control knob.

BROILING
