Aaron, Beautiful range - congratulations on your find(s)! I know nothing about Frigidaires, but your question about pressing a button in conjunction with using a griddle "might" work like the Sensi-Temp burners on the GE. That is, when a particular button is pressed it locks the Sensi-Temp burner (front) with the rear burner to provide uniform heat under the griddle. I've never seen a Flair griddle, so don't know if it fits over two adjacent burners or not; just saying this could be a possibility.

Beauty!
Great buy! I wanted to offer a tip on lighting up your Flair. Lift the oven doors just slightly (to the broil position or so) to block the flourescent fixture. They should stay up and if not are easy to adjust. It cuts the direct glare of the bulb and the glass doors subtly bounce the light back into the ovens and up onto the controls. I miss my Flair immensely and never ever had its lights off. I bought all of the accessories ever made (except the rotisserie) on eBay. The broiler pan (be sure it has the correct rack) was particularly effective if not a complete pain to wash after using, but I didn't mind. The heat minder burner works like an electric skillet (definitely get the aluminum "Kant-slide" griddle) to reach and hold a temp. When's it's broken, the burner becomes an on/off burner at any setting - great for boiling pasta water but not much else. I found out in the middle of a batch of pancakes that mine went. I ordered a temp probe but it didn't work for me and we ended up moving before I had a chance to investigate. I remember reading that they were often stored in the oven which ruined them. I really just wanted one to use the temp feature of the stove. My speed heat had already been converted to a regular infinite heat burner when I got it. I looked into converting it too, but didn't. Read the use and care manuals in ephemera, tells you everything about how to use properly, incl the accessories too. Congratulations!

No sorry
No idea what the part number was for the temp probe, and I think they were made for other Frigidaire ovens of the era. Could be wrong or maybe that's why mine didn't work. Also note that the suggested temperatures on the meat tender will incinerate whatever you're cooking compared to modern cooking guidelines. And even to guidelines of the day if you ask Julia Child. Honestly, if you stick a temp probe in thats connected to an alarm when a certain temp is reached, you can be your own "meat tender" and turn the oven off yourself. Agree, not nearly as magical or fantastical as a built in funtion and I FULLY understand support your mission to restore it to operation. I hope you find one. They were all over eBay back then (where I got mine) and not expensive. My aunt is still using the Flair my grandmother bought when she remodeled that kitchen in the early 60's. When I was little I liked to sit in front of the KitchenAid KDS-14 while it thundered and roared the dishes clean. But the Flair was always lit that I can remember, and mine when I had one a few years ago, was too. (It provided the primary light in my kitchen most of the time!) Piece of art. Definitely get the oven temp calibrated. Best baking oven - Provides perfect, even heat.
