induction cooktop ELEMENTS

Be sure you know which touch control operates each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

Use proper pan sizes - This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the burner will also improve efficiency.

Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements -To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, cookware handles should be positioned so that they are turned inward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.

Glazed Cookware - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings -

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the Induction Cooktop surface since they can get hot.

When preparing flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

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

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

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

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.

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

Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware.

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.

• 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.

• Induction Cooktop Features

Fast and Efficient - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and efficient when simmering.

A Cooler Cooktop - A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop Is whether ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than Radiant ceramic style cooktops. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since induction elements heat only when covered by a pan.

Easy Clean-ups - The cooler cooktop surface (when compared to a Radiant cooktop) makes clean-ups easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up easier.

Magnetic Detector - The coil sensor automatically detects whether a pan is magnetic and eliminates any accidental “turn-ons”. No need to worry if you accidently set a plastic or wooden spatula or spoon down on an induction element.

Pan Size Detection - The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.

More Responsive - Induction cooktops are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and is just as responsive when reduced to a simmer.

Flexcook Zone - Lets you use a giant pan or griddle, which does not fit on a conventional sized heating element, by combining the two left side Induction elements into one.

Boil Alert - After water is boiling, the Boil Alert function automatically reduces power to a power level you have selected and sounds a signal.

CAUTION -The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been CAUTION turned OFF. The ceramic glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the

cookware and burns may occur.

Induction power boost control

The power boost function makes additional power available to the induction cooking zone. Example: To bring a large volume of water to a boil.

The power boost function is activated for a maximum of 10 minutes for each cooking zone.

After Power Boost is finished, the cooking zones automatically return to power level .

In certain circumstances, the Power boost function may be deactivated automatically to protect the internal electronic components of the induction element.

Induction simmer control

The simmer controls are used to simmer and keep large quantities of foods warm such as stews and soup.

The simmer settings of the small cooking zone are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate.

Switching a cooking zone off

To switch off a cooking zone, return the setting to Off by using the control panel’s Off control pad.

After you switch off a cooking zone, the presence of residual heat is indicated by the ‘Hot

Surface indicator’.

Flexcook zone control

•The Flexcook zone On control turns the displays for the left

side front and rear elements on and off at the same time, combining the two elements into one. You can use the combined elements to heat a giant pan or griddle.

You can use the upper +/– or lower +/– key to adjust the power level.

•When the Flexcook zone control is off and you are not using a

giant pan or griddle, touch the on/off control of each Induction element to adjust the element’s settings separately.

23_ induction cooking

(IB_Premium)NE599N1PBSR_AC_DG68-00426A_EN.indd 23			2012-04-25 7:37:08

If you use the Flexcook Zone and place a pan on each of the front and rear burners, and then remove any one pan for about 1 minute, only the burner left will be enabled. (The Flexcook Zone key will be positioned to On whenever you use the Flexcook Zone function.) To reactivate the Flexcook zone function, touch the Flexcook Zone On/Off control to adjust the setting.

Using the Griddle

Type of Food	Preheat Time	Preheat Conditions	Cook Conditions
Pancakes	3 - 5 min.	4.0 - 4.5	4.0 - 4.5
Hamburgers	5 min.	4.0 - 4.5	4.0 - 4.5
Steak	5 min.	4.5 - 5.0	4.0 - 4.5
Fried Eggs	5 min.	4.0 - 5.0	4.0 - 4.5
Bacon	–	None	5.5 - 6.0
Breakfast Sausages	5 min.	4.0 - 4.5	4.0 - 4.5

•Effective temperature range of the griddle: Pancakes - 212~230 °F, Others - 275~320 °F

•To cook pancakes, we recommend you use a single burner in either the front or rear.

•We also recommend you use a griddle made of stainless steel rather than cast iron. (Note that the griddle made of cast iron may exceed the preheat time and cooking conditions suggested in “Using the Griddle”.)

• The preheat time and cooking conditions vary depending on the pan, which may CAUTION produce different cooking results.

•If you cook at a power level of 6 or greater, the cooking temperature will become too high, causing the griddle to smoke or your food to burn.

•Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods. Grease spill over can occur.

•Do not overheat the griddle. This can damage the non fixed coating.

Boil alert control (only use the largest burner)

The Boil Alert function automatically reduces power to a power level you have selected and sounds a signal.

1. Touch the On/Off control pad of the largest Burner (Right Front).

2. Touch the Boil Alert pad. The digital display will show .

3. Touch the +/- pads to select the power level you want the element set to after the water boils.

The range will automatically reduce the burner’s power level to this level after the water boils and sound a signal (6 times).

• If you want to adjust the power level while Boil Alert is in operation, touch the Boil Alert pad again and set the power level.

• Required amount of water : 2 ~ 12 cups (500 ml ~ 3000 ml)

Please note that the power level control pads (+/-, Boost, Simmer) become disabled once you enter into Boil Alert operation. Please refer to the above text for instructions on how to change power levels.

The length of time it takes for the Boil Alert beep to go off from full boil mode will vary. Factors that determine beep activation timing are cookware diameter, water amount in the cookware, the flatness of the cookware bottom surface (the flatter, the better) and iron content of cookware.

Boil Alert function is only applicable to water boiling (mixing with other ingredients diminishes the effectiveness of the feature, so we recommend you to use power level control pads when cooking pasta etc.)

Since the Boil Alert only works on the 11” element, we recommend you use cookware that is at least 7.5” in surface diameter to experience the full benefit of Boil Alert.

Before using the cooktop

Use quality cookware in good condition

The cookware used with the cooktop surface should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware.

Also remember to:

•Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking. See the “Correct Cookware Type” (28 page).

•Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.

•The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.

•Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).

•Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.

• The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been

CAUTION turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the cookware and burns may occur.

• DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with your hands. Always

CAUTION use oven mitts or pot holders to protect your hands from burns.

• DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may

CAUTION permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

Use Quality Cookware in Good Condition

INCORRECT	CORRECT

•Cookware not centered on Cooking Zone surface.

•Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.

•Pan does not meet the minimum size required for the Cooking Zone used. See the “Size of pans” section. (28 page)

•Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on the cooktop surface.

•Heavy handle tilts pan.

•Cookware centered correctly on Cooking Zone surface.

•Flat pan bottom & straight sides.

•Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size for the Cooking Zone. See the “Size of pans” section. (28 page)

•Pan rests completely on the Cooktop surface.

•Pan is properly balanced.

ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet one or more of these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and settings will flash in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problems before attempting to activate the cooktop.

Cookware for induction cooking zones

The Induction element can only be turned on when cookware with a magnetic base is placed on one of the cooking zones. You can use the cookware identified as suitable below.

Cookware material

Cookware material	Suitable
Steel, Enamelled steel	Yes
Cast iron	Yes
Stainless steel	If appropriately labelled by the manufacturer
Aluminium, Copper, Brass	No
Glass, Ceramic, Porcelain	No

Cookware for induction cooking zone is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.

Certain cookware can make noise when being used on induction cooking zones. These noise are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.

Use the correct size cookware

•The Induction Cooking Zones require a minimum pan size to be used at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct minimum pan size. The pan bottom must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.

•The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the maximum pan size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must fully contact the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.

If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is too small, the affected Cooking Zone display will flash and the pan will not heat.

Size of pans

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

oPeratinG noises

You may hear the following operating noises:

•Cracking noises : The cookware you are using is made of two or more diff erent materials.

•Whistling : You are using more than two cooking zones and the cookware you are using is made of two or more diff erent materials.

•Humming : You are using high power levels.

•Clicking : Electric switches are operating.

•Hissing, Buzzing : The cooling fan is operating.

These noises are normal and do not indicate any defects.

usinG suitabLe induction cookWare

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware and the cookware is labelled as suitable by the cookware manufacturer.

Better pans produce better results

•You can recognize good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and fl at as possible.

•When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.

•Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. You can scratch the ceramic cooktop permanently if you slide a pan with a damaged base across the surface.

•When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).

•If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

Energy saving tips

You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:

•Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.

•Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power consumption.

•When possible, position the lids fi rmly on pots and pans so that the lids cover them completely.

•Switch the cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time to use the residual heat for keeping foods warm or for thawing.
