SURFACE COOKING UNITS
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or re.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the
cooktop and cause the cooktop to malfunction.
• 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.
• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with
surface units of different size. Select pots and pans that
have at 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 efciency.
• Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of ammable materials, or spillage due
to unintentional contact with cookware, position cookware
handles 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 can be
used for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden
changes in temperature.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high
heat settings.
• To avoid oil spillover and re, use a minimum amount of oil
when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods
that have excessive amounts of ice.
• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the
cooktop operates without cookware, the control knobs will
become hot.
• Do not move the container and bowl in a horizontal position
on cooktop surface.

About surface cooking
CAUTION
BEFORE COOKING
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch re on the glass cooktop,
even when it is not being used.
• Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and
damage it.
CAUTION
DURING COOKING
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use.
• 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 re.
• 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 difcult to remove.
CAUTION
AFTER COOKING
• Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.
• The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass
surface before it has cooled down sufciently.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore
later.
• If cabinet storage is located 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 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 efcient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
NOTE
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 at.
CAUTION
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, do not use the cooktop while the oven’s
Self-cleaning function is on.

Using the proper cookware
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or
extended cooking times. Using the proper pots and pans will reduce cooking times
and cook food more evenly.
Check for atness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight tting lids.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
• 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.
Curved and warped pan bottoms.
Pan overhangs element by more than
one-half inch.
Pan is smaller than element.
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 (To remove, 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 the 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 surface.
Operations
Heavy handle tilts pan.

Operations
Protecting the cooktop
Cleaning
• Clean the cooktop before using it for the rst 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
Operations
cooktop.
• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specically
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 lm
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.
Using the smart connect feature
The cooktop has built in a Wi-Fi module you can use to sync the cooktop with the
SmartThings app. On the smartphone app, you can monitor the operating status of
the cooktop.
Functions that can be operated from the SmartThings app may not work smoothly
if communication conditions are poor or the product is installed in a place with a
weak Wi-Fi signal.
How to connect the cooktop
Before you can use the remote features of your Samsung cooktop, you must pair it
to the SmartThings app.
1. Download and open the SmartThings app on your smart device.
2. Follow the app’s onscreen instructions and touch and hold the Smart Connect
key for 3 seconds.
3. While the connection is being made, the LED indicator above the Smart
Connect key blinks. Once the process is complete, the indicator turns solid.
Now the cooktop is connected successfully.
4. If the Smart Connect LED indicator does not turn on, follow the instruction in
the app to reconnect.
NOTE
For further instructions, refer to the web manual at www.samsung.com
Wi-Fi On/Off
• Touch the Smart Connect key to turn on or turn off the Wi-Fi connection.
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. Always use the proper cookware.

on the cooktop surface. You can remove these marks by applying ceramic
cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the
overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. You should remove this
discoloration immediately or it may become permanent.
WARNING
Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop.
Maintenance
Cleaning the cooktop seal
To clean the seal around the edges of
the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a
few minutes, then wipe clean with a
nonabrasive cleaner.
Potential for permanent damage to the glass surface
• Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can
cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop. This is not covered under the
warranty. You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when
removing hot substances. Refer to the section below.
• When using a scraper, be sure it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do
not use a dull or nicked blade.
Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastic
1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge razor-blade scraper to move the spill
to a cool area of the cooktop. Remove the spill with paper towels.
3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has
cooled.
4. Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely
removed.
NOTE
If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, the cooktop
glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
