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 TM, 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 TM, 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 TM 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. Itallows 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.
Read and follow all instructions before using your oven to prevent the
risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or damage when using the
range, This guide does not cover all possible conditions that may occur. Always
contact your service agent or manufacturer about problems that you do not
understand,

ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING
WARNING =To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed Anti-Tip device, AFTER THE RANGE
HAS BEEN INSTALLED, CONFIRM THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE
HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI=
TiP DEVICE IS PROPERLY ENGAGED Refer to the installation manual
for instructions,
a) If the anti-tip device is not installed, a child or adult can tip the range
and be killed.
b} Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged at
rear right (or rear left) of the range bottom.
c} If you move the range and then move it back into place, ensure the
anti-tip device is re-engaged at the right or left rear of the range bottom.
d) Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and
engaged.
e) Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
Hmportant safety instructons 2

Do not step, lean, or sit on the doors of the range. You can cause
the range to tip, resulting in burns or serious injuries.
Confirm that the Anti-Tip device is installed properly. Then, to verify that
the Anti-Tip device is engaged, grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward. The Anti-Tip device should prevent the
range from tilting forward more than a few inches.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-
tip device is properly engaged when you push the range back against
the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and
causing injury ifyou or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

3 Hmportant safety instructions

®Storage in or on appliance. Do not store flammable materials in the
oven or near the surface units. Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it. Keep plastics, clothes, and paper
away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Placing moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.
For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet
cleaners.

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
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 damage the range and
cause the range to malfunction.
Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the cooktop
operates without cookware, the control knobs will become hot.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Hmportant safety instructons 4

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 the
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 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.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable 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.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
Cookware handles should be turned outward and not extend
over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
cookware, cookware handles should be positioned so that they are
turned outward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
Cleaning. 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 flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

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 net flat.
17 Surface cookng

Location of the radiant surface elements and controls
The radiant control knobs operate the radiant surface elements on the cooktop as shown below.
1. Single element: Left rear
2. Single element: Right rear
3, Dual element: Left front (3,000VV)
4, Dual element: Right front (3,000VV)
5. Warming center: Center rear
6. Hot surface indicator
Hot surface indicator
• Comes on when the unit is turned on or hot to the touch.
Stays on even after the unit is turned off.
Glows until the unit is cooled to approximately 150 °F.
Cooking areas
The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooking
surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 1/2"to 1-beyond the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, you can see a glow through the glass cooking surface. The
element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even at high settings.
• For more information on selecting proper types of cookware, refer to the section "Using the
proper cookware" on page 23.
