About - Frigidaire FGF368G[S]
The Frigidaire FGF368G[S] is part of the kitchen range test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas range models like the FGF368G[S] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Cooktop high: This reflects how quickly the most powerful burner could raise a 6-liter (6 1/3-quart) pot of water from room temperature to a near boil. Cooktop low: This reflects the gentlest burner's ability to melt and hold chocolate without scorching it. We also set the most powerful burner to its lowest flame to test its ability to hold a large pot of tomato sauce below a boil. Baking: This reflects the evenness of cookies and cakes in multi-rack baking tests.

Features & Specs - Frigidaire FGF368G[S]
High-power burners The number of surface cooking burners rated at over 11,000 Btu/hr., maximum. High-power burners are good for quickly heating large quantities, searing, and other high-temperature cooking. Some also perform well on low-heat tasks (when turned to their low setting). Mainstream ranges typically have one or two high-power burners. Pro-style ranges often have four. High-power burners	1
Medium-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings over 6,500 Btu/hr but not more than 11,000 Btu/hr. Though they don't offer top speed and power, medium-power burners can generally handle all cooking tasks. Medium-power burners	2
Low-power burners The number of surface cooking burners with maximum output ratings of 6,500 Btu/hr or less (sometimes called simmer burners). These are intended for delicate tasks such as sauces. Low-power burners	1
Number of cooktop burners Total number of individual cooktop burners. Number of cooktop burners	4
Convection mode Has a convection feature that uses a fan or two to circulate heated air, and sometimes an extra heating element. The convection mode can be turned off if you prefer conventional cooking. Convection mode	No
Double oven Double oven models have a second oven cavity. Most have a separate small oven above the main one complete with its own controls, door, window, oven light, slide-out rack, and self-clean function. While the upper oven offers easy access, the main oven is relatively low; you'll need to crouch to remove items from lower shelf positions. Other designs convert a single oven into two using a slide-in partition (though with a shared door.) Double oven	No
Cooking drawer Drawer below the main oven that can cook foods (up to a few inches high), as well as warm or heat serving bowls and plates. The cooking drawer has its own temperature control so can be set to cook a dish independent of the main oven. Foods must be lifted up out of the drawer (lacks a slide-out rack), and the drawer requires manual cleaning. Cooking drawer	No
Slide-in Slides between cabinets; unfinished exterior on the sides of the range. The edge of the cooktop overlaps the counter on each side and all controls are on front panel for a built-in look. Slide-in	No
Stainless steel available Many new mainstream ranges come with stainless steel trim or offer a stainless-trim version for an additional $200 or so. Many pro-style ranges (brands such as Viking, DCS, and GE Monogram, among others) have full stainless-steel construction. Stainless steel available	Yes

Comment:

The second time the self-clean was used the oven would shut down during pre-heat. 7 repairman visits later, the extended warranty people finally admitted the oven couldn't be repaired. The oven was 2 year old. Repairman took me he advises customers never to use the self clean feature because the ovens really can't take the high temperatures.<br /><br />Plus, the oven light switch shorted out when attempting to clean the oven top. Also, very difficult to clean stove top.

Comment:

I have owned this range for over a year and have been extremely dissatisfied with its performance since day one. The cooktop is extremely difficult to clean. The timer functionality is not intuitive. With baking, I found that the temperature is not consistent and generally bakes unevenly particularly on the left side (stove is level). The oven vents outrageously hot in the front of the stove and will melt anything that is left in too close proximity. Beware of burns.

The top is VERY difficult to clean - scratches and chips easily. Any little splash from the pan burns onto the surface.
