Frigidaire FPES3085PF Manual De Propietario

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type 
of food being cooked will influence the surface element 
power level setting needed for best cooking results.

Use 

 to determine the correct setting for the type of 

food you are preparing.

The size and type of cookware used will influence the 
setting needed for best cooking results.

HIGH (HI)

Start most foods; bring water to a boil and 
pan broiling.

MEDIUM 
HIGH (8-10)

Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat 
frying

MEDIUM (6)

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces and 
gravies; steaming vegetables

Medium 
LOW (2-4)

Keep foods cooking; poaching and 
stewing

LOW (LO)

Keep warm, melting and simmering

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to 
cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to 
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the 
HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too 
small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is 
not flat.

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes 
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat 
to complete the cooking process.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and 
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the 
bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is 
too small for the surface heating area.

The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and 
type of food being cooked will influence the settings 
needed for best cooking results.

The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly 
on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide 
and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface 
element provides a constant amount of heat at each 
setting. Refer to 

 for suggested power level 

settings.
