The right and left front side burners provide maximum output. These burners can
also be used as general-purpose burners, but they are designed to provide quick
heat to large cookware. The right and left front side burner spreads out the heat
with a larger circle of ames.

The center oval burner can also be used for large pots and pans, but is designed to
be used with the center burner grate and/or the center griddle accessory.
The oval burner also spreads out the heat more evenly over the large center
cooking area.
Each surface burner has a control knob with
settings from HI to LO.
They also have a LITE setting that is only
used to light the ame. The electronic
ignition system sparks when the control
knob is in the LITE position.
The surface burner indicator next to the
control knob shows which burner the knob
controls.
Cookware usage
Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking
or extended cooking time. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking time and
cook food more evenly. Look for the following pan characteristics:
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-tting lid.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
• Pan is well-balanced.
• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the
surface burner.
• Made of material that conducts heat well.
• The pot/pan diameter matches the surface burner ame diameter.
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is
transferred from the surface burner 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.)
COPPER: Excellent heat conductor, but discolors easily.
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.
ENAMELWARE: Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
GLASS: Slow heat conductor. Glass cookware is designed for two usages—top-of-
range cooking or oven use. Only use cookware where it is designated to be used.
NOTE
Do not place a small pan or pot with a
bottom diameter of about 6” or less on the
center grate. Otherwise, it is likely that the
pan or pot tips over. We highly recommend
you to place such a small-sized pan or pot
on the rear of both side grates.
Center burner grate
Samsung gas ranges come with a center
burner grate. This grate ts over the center
oval burner as well as round burner. The
center burner grate should not be used
over any other burners and no other center
stovetop grates should be used with this

CAUTION
• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom because it could cause damage.
• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation, resulting in poor baking. Foil may be used to catch spills by placing
a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
• When placing an oven rack in the topmost rack position (position 7), make sure
the rack is stably situated on the embossed stop.
