Enhanced convenience. Better cooking. Easy maintenance. Your new electric range has been designed to bring you these benefits and more.

The latest in heat-distribution technology

Other ranges with just one fan tend to make a swirl of heat that fails to cover the whole inside of the oven. This means uneven heat distribution and uneven cooking. Your new range has Surround Airvection TM, which Samsung innovated by adding a third heating element and a multi-fan system that circulates the heat evenly in all directions. You get more efficient energy consumption and

more even cooking.

Steam Quick cleaning

Thanks to Steam Quick TM, Samsung's unique technology for light-duty cleaning jobs, keeping your oven spick-and-span is a snap -- no hassle, no odor, no chemicals. Steam Quick TM cleans

the inside of your range with high-temperature steam in just 20 minutes.

Bigger is better

With a capacity of 5.9 cubic feet, your new range is equipped with more space than any of its competitors in the U.S. market. This means greater convenience for you when cooking for the holidays or when entertaining.

A cooktop with 5 burners

Four main burners with two that dial heat up to different pot sizes.

A smaller warming burner in the center of the range top.

Read and follow all instructions before using your oven to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or damage when using the range. This guide does not cover all possible conditions

that may occur. Always contact your service agent or manufacturer about problems that you do not understand.

4 Hmportant safety instructions

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

[_ ever leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the

range.

Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware. If the cooktop operates without a

cookware, the control knob will become hot. Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface

when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns. Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in

ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency. Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware,

or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change intemperature.

Utensil handles should be turned outward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned outward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

About the radiant surface elements

The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant 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 off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

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 cooktop. 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.

USING THE PROPER COOKWARE

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended

cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.

¸i

Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight fitting lids. Weight of handle does not tilt

pan. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

Pan is well balanced.

Pan size matches the amount

of food to be prepared

and the size of the surface

element.

,, Made of a material that

conducts heat well.

Always match pot diameter to

element surface diameter.

CHOOSING THE PROPER COOKWARE

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to

darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.). If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop cools down.

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see above).

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

,, ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-

enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops. GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it

may scratch the glass.

Curved and warped pan bottoms.

Pan overhangs element by more

than one-half inch.

Pan is smaller than element.

Heavy handle tilts pan.

PROTECTING THE SMOOTHTOP SURFACE

Cleaning

• Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time. Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can

prevent damage. If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is

hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean dry towel.

Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads, which will scratch the cooktop. Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use

on a glass-ceramic surface.

Preventing marks and scratches

Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop. Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These items can mark or

scratch the cooktop. Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.

Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.

Preventing stains

Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain, which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

,, Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.

Preventing other damage

Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.

Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop, and the pan.

,, Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

Do not cook food directly on the cooktop without the proper cookware.

Sudacecookng 15

ABOUT THE WARMING DRAWER

• Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil, Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it, This will upset the performance of the drawer

and could damage the interior finish.

• Do not put liquid or water in the warming drawer.

All foods placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

CONVECTION BAKING

rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.

Tips for convection baking

The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will allow faster cooking times.

When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 5.

When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.

How to set the oven for convection baking

By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. You can program the oven for convection

baking at any temperature between 175°F and 550°F. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster

and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven

1. Start the convection baking mode. Press the CONY. BAKE pad. The default temperature is 350°F.

2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400°F, by using the number

pad.

3. Press the SET/START pad to begin convection baking.

Conv. Bake and the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375°F, will appear in the display for 2 seconds.

The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 150°F.

A beep will sound 6 times when the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375°F, is reached and the display will show the auto-converted

oven temperature.

Turn off or cancel convection baking by pressing the CLEAR/OFF pad.

In convection baking mode, the oven automatically reduces the set regular bakin¢

temperature by 25°F to the appropriate conversion temperature.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or

you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

CONVECTION ROASTING

Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat, uncovered. Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly

over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same

time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

How to set the oven for convection roasting

1. Start the convection roasting mode. Press the CONY. ROAST pad. The default temperature is 350°F.

2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400°F, by using the number

pads.

3. Press the SET/START pad to begin convection roasting.

In the convection roasting mode, the oven will automatically reduce the set regular baking

temperature by 25°F to the appropriate conversion temperature.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or

you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

When you use the convection roasting feature, it is

important that you use the broil pan and insert. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is

used to prevent grease spatters.
