features of your new range

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

Bigger is better

•

With a capacity of 5.7 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.

4_ Important safety instructions

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

Never 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 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 size. Select

utensils having ﬂ at 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 efﬁ ciency.

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 in temperature.

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

Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.

Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

When preparing ﬂ aming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

APPLIANCE OUTLETS

The 120V appliance outlets located on the control console may be used to run portable appliances placed on countertops beside the range.

The outlets operate independently and are not affected by range control settings.

Do not place portable appliances on the cooktop. Damage to the portable appliance could result if the cooktop is hot.

ABOUT SURFACE COOKING

BEFORE COOKING

CAUTION

Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

•

Do not place or store items that can melt or catch ﬁre on the glass cooktop, even

• when it is not being used.

Turn the surface units on only after placing the cookware.

•

Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and damage it.

•

DURING COOKING

Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon

• holders, or plastic wrappings on the range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent could melt plastics or ignite ﬂammable items.

Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.

•

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

•

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

•

Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting. Boilovers cause

• smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on ﬁre.

Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

•

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very

• difﬁcult to remove.

AFTER COOKING

CAUTION

Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.

•

The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched

• before it has cooled down sufﬁciently.

Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.

•

If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the

• items are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

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.

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 immediately.

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

USING THE OVEN RACKS

Oven rack positions

Baking layer cakes

Centering the baking pans in the oven as much as possible will produce better results. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1” to 1½” of air space around it.

If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 5. Place the cookware as shown in the ﬁ gures below.

The oven has 7 rack positions (1~7).

TYPE OF FOOD RACK POSITION

Frozen pies 4 Angel food cake 2 Bundt or pound cakes 3

Biscuits, mufﬁ ns, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies

Casseroles 4 Small roast, ham 2 Turkey, large roast 1

Before using the racks

The oven has three racks.

Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the rack from coming completely out.

REMOVING THE RACKS REPLACING THE RACKS

1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.

2. Lift up the front of the rack and pull it out.

Do not cover a rack with aluminum foil or place on the oven bottom. This will disturb

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 ﬁ nish 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 or positions 2, 4 and 6.

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 CONV. 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.

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

pad.

In convection baking mode, the oven automatically reduces 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.

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 CONV. ROAST 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 roasting. Conv. Roast and the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375°F, will
