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 enhanced 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 5.9 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.

•Twin Cooking

This oven features the unique twin cooking system. It allows you to prepare two different meals at the same time using two different temperatures in the upper and lower compartment. Or you can cook either in the upper or lower compartment, which saves time and energy.

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 on them.

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

DURING COOKING

CAUTION • 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 food 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 you have a cabinet directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the items in it are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat.

Temperatures in the cabinet may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners. and aerosol sprays.

About the radiant surface elements

The temperature of radiant surface elements 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 warming center

The warming center, located in the back center of the glass surface, will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature.

• The surface warmer will not glow red like the cooking elements.

• Do not warm food on the warming center for more than two hours.

CAUTION • Use only cookware and dishes recommended as safe for oven and cooktop use.

•Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warming center as cookware and plates will be hot.

•When warming pastries and breads, use covers that have an opening to allow moisture to escape.

•Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean off.

•Food should be kept in its container and covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain food quality.

•Always start with hot food. Eating uncooked or cold food placed on the warming center could result in illness.

1. Turn the warming center on.

Press the WARMING CENTER ON/OFF pad.

2. Select the power setting you want.

Pressing the WARMING CENTER LEVEL pad once will set it to the level 1 setting. Press the pad twice for the level 2 setting, 3 times for level 3.

3. Turn the warming center off.

Press the WARMING CENTER ON/OFF pad.

• Pressing the CLEAR/OFF pad does not turn the warming center off.

•For best results, all foods on the warming center should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the lid or foil should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

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.

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

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 and 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, but 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. Porcelainenamel 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.

PROTECTING THE COOKTOP 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 you are 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 can 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. 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. Always use the proper cookware.
