Grounding Instructions

FRIGIDAIRE FFCE1455UD - Grounding Instructions - 1

WARNING CAUTION

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.

FRIGIDAIRE FFCE1455UD - WARNING CAUTION - 1

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if an electrical short occurs. This oven

is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. See Installation Instructions.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.

Arcing

If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem. Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven. Arcing is caused by:

  • Incorrect installation of the metal shelf so that it is touching the microwave wall.
  • Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
  • Use of foil which is not molded to the food. (The edges act as antennas).
  • Other metals, such a twist ties, poultry pins or metallicrimmed dishes, in the microwave.
    • Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces used in the oven.

Adapter Plugs

FRIGIDAIRE FFCE1455UD - Adapter Plugs - 1

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently:

Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. If you still choose to use an adapter (where local codes permit), a temporary connection can be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle using a UL listed adapter, available at most hardware stores.

Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. Otherwise, the adapter ground terminal may break with repeated use.

Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently:

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. Have a qualified electrician replace the 2-prong wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle before using the appliance.

Sensor Cook Operating Tips

The Sensor Cook categories are designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food. The food categories that are controlled with the humidity sensor are:

  • Frozen Entree
  • Meat
  • Seafood

For best results, do not use one of the Sensor Cook categories twice in succession on the same food portion. This may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food appears to be undercooked, use one of the Easy Set pads or cook time pads to add more time.

Additional sensor cook suggestions are:

  • Never start with less than 4 oz. of food.
  • Use proper containers and covers for best sensor cooking results.
  • Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with loose fitting lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers. They will prevent steam from escaping and this will mislead the sensor, usually causing the food to overcook.

Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the cavity of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Excessive moisture turning into steam that does not result from the food cooking can mislead the sensor.

Frozen Entree

The frozen entree sensor setting is designed for single frozen entree or frozen convenience foods such as frozen dinners from 8 to 32 oz. In size (starting with Frozen Entree temperature at 5°F).

  1. Press Sensor Cook pad once. Sc-1 appears in the display.
  2. Press START pad.

When finished, you will hear a series of beeps. If additional time is needed, continue cooking manually.

Notes:

  • ALWAYS be sure to follow the directions that are spec for the microwave oven that is printed on the packaging for the food being prepared. Many times there are special instructions to follow in order to achieve best results.
  • Be sure to allow for moisture to escape from the packaging. All frozen entree instructions specify that you poke holes in the film covering with a fork before cooking.
  • Be careful when removing the film covers after cooking frozen convenience foods. Remove facing away from you to avoid steam burns.
  • If the food is not done when the cook time is done finish cooking manually.

Meat (fresh)

The meat sensor setting cooks from 4 to 16 oz. of ground meat automatically (starting with meat temperature at 35-40 °F).

  1. Press Sensor Cook pad 2 times. Sc-2 appears in the display.
  2. Press START pad.

When finished, you will hear a series of beeps. If additional time is needed, continue cooking manually.

Notes:

  • Break meat apart in glass bowl or container.
  • Cover meat with lid or vented plastic wrap.
  • Juices should be clear when finished cooking, then drain.
  • About mid-way through the displayed cook time, press STOP pad to pause the cooking and mix; after mixing, press START to continue cooking with the remaining cook time displayed.

Seafood (fresh)

The seafood sensor setting cooks from 8 to 16 oz. of fish or seafood automatically (starting with a temperature at 35-40 °F).

  1. Press Sensor Cook pad 3 times. Sc-3 appears in the display.
  2. Press START pad.

When finished, you will hear a series of beeps. If additional time is needed, continue cooking manually.

Notes:

  • Arrange fish in a single layer.
  • Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Be sure to leave enough space in the venting or lid for steam to escape.
  • About mid-way through the displayed cook time, press STOP pad to pause the cooking and turn over the fish; after turning, press START to continue cooking with the remaining cook time displayed.

Sensor Reheat

The sensor reheat feature is designed to detect the increasing humidity released by the food during the cooking process. The microwave oven sensor will automatically adjust the cooking time to the type and amount of food.

The food types to avoid using with the reheat feature are:

  • Uncooked or raw foods.
  • Bread and other dry types of food such as crackers, biscuits, or cakes.
  • Beverages or frozen foods.
  • Frozen pizza.

Notes concerning sensor reheat:

  • For casseroles, add 2-3 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap.
  • For canned foods, empty contents of can into a casserole dish or serving bowl. Cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
  • For plates of food, arrange food on plate and add any butter or gravies, etc. Cover with loose-fitting lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand a few minutes.

Example: to reheat (sensor) automatically:

  1. Press Sensor Reheat pad once.
  2. Press START pad. Sensor detects vapor emitting from food to determine cooking time.

Suggestions for getting the best results

To help you achieve the best possible results from your microwave oven, read the following suggestions below;

• Storage temperature

Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods would at room temperature.

- Size

Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones. Pieces similar in size and shape will cook more evenly when cooked together. For more even results, reduce the power levels when cooking large pieces of food.

• Natural moisture

Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy heats water molecules very e efficiently.

- Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetable from the outside to the center to distribute the heat more evenly. This will allow the food to cook faster. Constant stirring is not necessary.

- Turn over items

Turn over foods such as pork chops, roasts or whole cauliflower halfway through the cook time. This will help to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.

- Food placement

Place delicate areas of food items, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable tray.

- Food arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon, with the thicker or meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable tray.

- Let the food stand

After removing the food from the microwave, cover the food with foil or a casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking. This will help the food finish in the center and avoids overcooking the out edges. The length of stand time depends on the density and surface area of the food items.

• Wrapping in paper towels or waxed paper

Sandwiches and many other food types containing pre-baked bread should be wrapped prior to placing in the microwave to help prevent the food items fro drying out while heating.

Cooking Charts

FRIGIDAIRE FFCE1455UD - Cooking Charts - 1

Defrosting tips

  • When using the defrost weight feature, the weight entered should always be 0.5 to 6.5 pounds.
  • Use both defrost weight and defrost time features for raw food items only. Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0^ F (taken directly from a true freezer). If the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5^ F or below, always program a lower food weight or lower cook time to prevent cooking the food.
  • If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.

  • The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly than a deep frozen block of food.

  • Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated frozen pieces of food defrost better.
  • Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
  • You may use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails, but do not allow the foil to touch the oven cavity walls when defrosting.

Defrosting suggestions for meats

For best results, please read these suggestions when defrosting meats.

Meat Normal amount Suggestions
Roast beef or pork2.5 to 6 lbs.(40 to 96 oz.)Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 15-30 minutes.
Steaks, chops or fish0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Ground meat0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Whole chicken(40 to 96 oz.)2.5 to 6 lbs.Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the 1st stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the 2nd stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
Chicken pieces0.5 to 3 lbs.(8 to 48 oz.)After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Cleaning suggestions

For best performance and for safety reasons, keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and oven from frame free of food and grease build-up.

Never use rough scouring powder or pads on the microwave. Wipe the microwave oven inside and out with a soft cloth and warm (not hot) mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe completely dry.

Wipe spatters immediately with a wet paper towel, especially after cooking greasy foods like chicken or bacon.

Clean your microwave oven weekly or more often, if needed.

Follow these instructions to clean and care for your microwave oven:

  • Keep the inside (cavity) of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to wok less efficiently.
  • Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp, clean cloth and mild soap. DO NOT use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • To help loosen baked-on food particles or liquids, heat 2 cups of water (add the juice of 1 lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh smelling) in a 4 cup measuring glass at High power for 5 minutes or until boiling. Let stand in oven cavity for 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Remove the glass turntable tray from the oven when cleaning the oven cavity or tray. To prevent the glass turntable from breaking, handle with care and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the turntable tray in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
  • Your microwave oven(some models) may have a Stainless Steel finish or coating. Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use ANY store bought cleaners like Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, do not let water seep into any vents or openings.

  • Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP key.

  • Wash the oven door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft clean cloth to avoid scratching.
  • If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
  • Never operate the oven without food in the oven cavity; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water standing inside the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
