The material of bakeware affects how evenly and quickly it transfers heat from the pan to the food.
Material | Attributes | Recommendation |
Shiny metal bakeware | Shiny, aluminum, and non-coated bakeware is the best for even heating. It is suitable for all baked goods. | Recommended cooking temperatures and times are based on shiny metal bakeware. |
Dark metal bakeware | Dark bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware. | Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F (13-14°C) when using dark bakeware. |
Glass bakeware | Glass bakeware cooks hotter than shiny bakeware. Glass is convenient, as the same piece of bakeware can be used for cooking, serving, and storing food. | Reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F (13-14°C) when using glass bakeware. |
Insulated bakeware | Insulated bakeware cooks cooler than shiny bakeware. Insulated bakeware is designed for baking in gas ovens. | Baking may take a bit longer with insulated bakeware. Be sure to check recipe times as it may require a slightly longer baking time. |
Conditions in your kitchen can affect the performance of your appliance when cooking food.
Condition | Attributes | Recommendation |
Aging cookware | As pans age and become discolored, cooking times may need to be reduced slightly. | If food is too dark or overcooked, use the minimum cook time in the recipe or packaging. If food is too light or undercooked, use the middle to maximum cook time in the recipe or packaging. |
High altitude | Air is drier and air pressure is lower. Water boils at a lower temperature, and liquids evaporate faster. Foods may take longer to bake. Doughs may rise faster. | Adjust cooking temperature, cooking time, or recipes as needed. Increase amount of liquid in baking recipes. Increase cook time on cooktop. Cover dishes to reduce evaporation. Increase bake time or oven temperature. Reduce amount of baking soda or baking powder in recipe. Reduce rising time or punch down dough and allow it to rise twice. |
Small adjustments may fix a problem with food not being as done as you like or more done than you like.
Result | Recommendation |
Food too light | Use the middle to maximum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe. |
Food too dark | Use the minimum cook time recommended on packaging or recipe. |
Use these additional tips to get the best results from your appliance.
Situation | Recommendation |
Baking | |
Rack placement | Follow the instructions in "Setting Oven Controls". When using only one rack, place the rack so the food is in the center of the oven. |
Preheat | Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads. Insert food immediately after the beep. |
Checking food | Use the window and oven light when checking food. Opening the door may reduce baking performance. |
Bake or Convection Bake | Convection bake is the best function to use for baking on multiple racks. For best performance, see "Convection Bake". |
Food placement | Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation. |
Material | Recommendation |
Broiling / Roasting | |
Broiling pan | For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with a broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food, help avoid spatter, and reduce smoking. The broiler pan will catch grease spills, and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com. |
Convection Cooking | |
Convection attributes | Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air around the oven and food. It browns food more evenly and reduces hot spots in the oven. Convection saves time when using multiple racks or cooking several food items at once. |
Convection bake | Reduce cooking temperature by 25°F (13-14°C) from the recipe unless the recipe is written for convection baking. Preheat the oven for best results. |
Convection roast | Convection roast is best for meats and does not require preheating for most meats and poultry. Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe's temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time. Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained. Use a meat probe if available with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery and home goods stores. Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven. Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly. When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters. If you do not have one of these accessories, they may be purchased from Frigidaire.com. |
The ceramic glass cooktop has heating elements below a smooth glass surface. The designs on the ceramic cooktop outline the areas of the surface elements underneath. Always match the pan size with the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop. Only flat-bottomed cookware should be used.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use, and their settings will all affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns.
NOTE
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn the element off several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the cooking element. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.
The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in "Figure 1: Testing cookware" and "Proper cookware" table.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see "Figure 1: Testing cookware"). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Do not place empty aluminum, glass, or porce-lain-enamel coated cookware on the element. The melting point of cookware made with these materials may be reached quickly, especially if left empty. If the cookware melts it will damage the cooktop. Follow all the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for use and care of cookware.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time unless the area is designed for that purpose. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop.
The circles on the ceramic glass cooktop outline the size and type of element underneath. The elements on your cooktop depend on the model.
The Space Pro has two single elements that can be set independently using separate knobs.
The Space Pro can also be set to connect both single heating zones for oversize cookware.
Figure 5: Space Pro
The ELEMENT ON indicator light will turn on when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.
The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will remain on after the burner is turned off until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature.
Surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element surface may still be hot, and burns may occur if the element or surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature.
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home canning with your appliance.
Check the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read all the information they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
The cooktop has three single radiant surface elements: the right rear position, and the two elements in the Space Pro located on the left side of the cooktop.
To operate the single radiant element:
Start most cooking on a higher setting and turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
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.
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.
Suggested radiant surface element settings
The suggested settings found in Table below are based on cooking with medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Suggested settings for radiant elements | |
Settings | Type of Cooktop |
High (HI) | Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling |
Medium High (7 - 8) | Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry |
Medium (5 - 6) | Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or steam vegetables |
Medium Low (2 - 4) | Keep foods cooking, poach, stew |
Low (1) | Low temperature cooking |
Low (LO) | Keep warm, melt |
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The element may still be hot and burns may occur if the element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface drip bowls or reflector pans. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
The dual burner can handle 9 inch or 12 inch cookware. This dual burner is especially useful for bringing large cookware to boil for canning or heating large amounts of water.
Symbols on the backguard will help choose which portion of the dual radiant element to set. The symbol indicates a setting for the inner element only. The symbol indicates a setting for both inner and outer elements.
Figure 7: Dual burner single use (L) dual use (R).
To operate a dual radiant element:
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop.
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.
You may switch from either single or dual element setting at any time during cooking. See "Suggested radiant surface element settings".
The Space Pro uses two single elements on the left side of the cooktop (front and rear) and another element that can be activated to connect the two single elements.
The front and rear controls can be used as single elements.
To combine both elements by activating the connecting element:
The Keep Warm zone helps keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the feature to keep cooked foods hot such as vegetables, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food on the keep warm zone. All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the keep warm zone.
Figure 9: Keep Warm Zone
The keep warm zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the zone until the hot surface indicator light is off.

The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close off the openings with aluminium foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
Figure 10: Oven vent
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other material or liners to line the oven bottom, walls, racks or any other part of the range. Doing so will alter the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and possibly cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. During self clean, temperatures in the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny finish.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.
Figure 11: Oven rack types
Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool.
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.
The fully extendable Glide rack makes food preparation easier. This oven rack has glide tracks that allow the rack to be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of the oven wall.
To remove - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Using one hand, reach through handle opening and grasp both the upper and lower portions of the glide rack
While holding both sections, pull the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is reached
Using both hands, lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to pull the rack away from the oven. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions together when removing or handling the glide rack.
The rack portions move independently and should be held together when removing and replacing.
To replace - Make sure the baking rack is in the closed position. Grasp both upper and lower portions of glide rack. Lift and hold the rack level between the oven cavity walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward slightly and slide the rack completely into position.
To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.
NOTE: CLEAN and BROIL do not use the oven temperature knob. Both have their own default setting.
Set the oven mode to OFF when finished cooking.
When setting oven temperatures use the OVEN TEMP knob for temperatures between 170°F (KEEP WARM) and 550°F. The CLEAN setting should only be used after reading all cautions and warnings.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC)** Stuffed turkey requires additional roasting time. Shield legs and breast with foil to prevent over browning and drying of the skin. |
Use the broil feature to cook meats requiring direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling is direct heat cooking and may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the element.
Broil is preset to 550°F.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
OPEN DOOR BROIL SHUTOFF: If the oven door is left open during Broil for more than 3 minutes an alarm will sound to notify the user to close the oven door. If the door is not closed the oven will turn off within 30 seconds of the open door alarm.
To set broil:
Rack positions (L); and broil pan and insert (R)
NOTE
Broiler pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil – the exposed grease could ignite.
If a broiler pan and insert are not supplied with this appliance they may be purchased from www.frigidaire.com

Use the probe feature for best results when cooking foods such as roasts, hams or poultry, using a probe to check internal temperature is the safest method to ensure properly cooked food.
Before using the meat probe read the important information listed here:
For best use and care of the Meat Probe, when finished using this feature remove the Meat Probe and reset the feature to the OFF position until the next use.
NOTE
If the meat probe is plugged while the oven is in a function which allows probe cooking, it may be set the following way:
To set probe:
Note: The minimum setting is 140ºF (60ºC); the maximum is 210ºF (99ºC). Default is 170ºF (77ºC).
Insert the probe so that the probe tip rests inside the center of the thickest part of meat or food. For best results, do not allow the probe temperature sensor to contact bone, fat, gristle, or the cookware.
Parts of the probe
NOTE
During cooking the internal food temperature will display by default.
To assure accuracy, do not remove the probe from the food or receptacle until the desired internal temperature is reached.
If the probe is removed from the receptacle only, the probe feature will cancel but the oven will continue to cook. If the probe is removed from the food only, the probe feature will remain active and may eventually generate a probe too hot message.
To change the target temperature while cooking, press the plus or minus key.

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Do not store the probe inside the oven. Use only the original probe provided. Connecting any other probe or device could result in damage to the oven control, electronics, and the receptacle.
Before starting self clean, double check that the probe is removed from the oven interior. Defrost frozen foods completely before inserting the probe.
When the meat probe reaches the target temperature, the oven will automatically switch to keep warm (170°F) and remain on for up to 3 hours before turning off automatically. The display will continue to show the meat probe temperature until either keep warm is canceled or by disconnecting the meat probe from the receptacle. Once turned off, the probe icon and temperature will fade from the display.
If the meat probe temperature should exceed the maximum allowable temperature, the oven control will beep and HOT will appear in the display for 40 seconds to notify that the probe temperature is too high.
Keep warm tips:
Keep Warm should only be used with foods that are already at serving temperatures. Keep warm will keep cooked foods warm and ready for serving after cooking has finished.
Keep warm will keep the oven temperature at 170°F (77°C).

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
To set the oven for baking and activate the Sabbath feature:
To turn off the Sabbath feature:
Power failure while using Sabbath feature:
Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven will shut off. When power is returned, SF (Sabbath Failure) will display, and the oven will not turn back on automatically.
Remove the food when the power failure occurs. You may only start the oven once during Sabbath/ Jewish holidays.
After the Sabbath observance turn off the Sabbath feature. Press and hold both the oven light and clock keys for at least 3 seconds. SAb will disappear from the display, and the oven may be used with all normal functions.
The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures.
NOTE
Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is displayed by accessing the UPO (User Programmable Offset).
Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.
Before making a temperature adjustment, make sure both the oven mode and oven temperature control knobs are in the OFF position.
To adjust the oven temperature:
Using the + or - key in the bottom of the display, press until the desired temperature change (offset) is reached. The display will change ± 5° with each key press to a maximum of + 35° or a minimum of – 35°F.
If a lower temperature offset is desired, press the – key in the bottom of the display until the desired lower temperature appears.
Once the new offset appears in the display, release the key and the control will accept the change.
To return the display to normal, press and hold both the oven light icon and the clock icon at the same time until an acceptance tone sounds. The display will return to show the time of day.
NOTE
Changing the UPO will not affect the broil or self clean temperatures.
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times of 2, 3 or 4 hours.
Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle.
To set a self clean cycle:
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle, remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
It is recommended to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.
To set the controls for a 3 hour self clean cycle and shut off automatically:
Turn the OVEN MODE knob to CLEAN. The display will show a 3 hour time (normal clean) and the – and + keys.
If a 3 hour clean is desired, the control will accept the time within 3 seconds. However, the user may select a 2 or 4 hour clean by using the – or + keys to change to the desired clean time and then allow the control to accept the change
Once the control accepts the clean time the display will flash a reminder for the user to REMOVE RACKS.
The REMOVE RACKS notification will flash for a few seconds prompting the user to remove all oven racks.
If the oven door is opened as this time the display will show CLO to indicate that the door must be closed before the clean cycle can begin.
If the door remains open for more than 3 minutes, the clean function will be canceled
When the oven is set to run the clean cycle, the motor door lock will begin locking the oven door.
Do not open the oven door while the lock motor is running or when any locking indicators or displays are showing. The oven door is completely locked in about 15 seconds. After self-clean, the oven may take about one hour to cool and unlock. A Hot message will display during this period.
After cooling, the DOOR lock will flash and disappear indicating that the door has unlocked and the oven may be used for normal operation. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door after a CLEAN.
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool.
If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer's instructions and provide adequate ventilation.

Ceramic cooktop | See "Cooktop Cleaning". |
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surface could be hot from contact with hot cookware, and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper held at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Finish cleaning with cooktop cleaning cream.
Figure 17: Cooktop cleaning
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After cooking or after the clean cycle, racks will be very hot and can cause burns.
To lubricate the glide rack:
The door is heavy. To temporarily store it safely, place the door horizontally with the interior side facing down.
To remove the oven door:
To replace oven door:
Special door care instructions - The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are positioned correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware or any other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass or burns.
The oven light bulbs are located at the rear of the oven cavity and both are covered with a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
Replacing the interior light bulbs:
Use the storage drawer for storing cooking utensils. The drawer can be removed to facilitate cleaning under the range. Use care when handling the drawer.
Oven Baking

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is to be stored or discarded.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Handle halogen lights (if equipped) with paper towels or soft gloves. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.
