2_ Features of your new range
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™, Samsung’s innovative convection cooking system with 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.
Surface cooktop Feature•
Fast and Efficient - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power
quickly heats to a boil, yet simmers with energy saving efficiency.
A Cooler Cooktop - A unique feature of Induction Cooking zone is whether turned ON or OFF,
the cooktop surface remains cooler than Radiant Cooking Zone style cooktops. Virtually no
wasted heat is produced since the heat begins when you set down a pan.
Magnetic Detector - The coil sensors of the induction elements automatically detect whether a
pan is magnetic and eliminates any accidental “turn-ONs”.
Pan Size Detection - The pan size recognition sensor automatically detect and adapts the
Induction Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More Responsive - Induction Cooking zones are more responsive than their electric or gas
counterparts because only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and responds quicker
whether you are boiling, simmering, or heating.
CAUTION - The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been
turned OFF. The ceramic glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the
cookware and burns may occur.

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 the Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different sizes. Select pots and pans having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized pots
or pans will leave a portion of the heating element exposed, increasing the
danger of direct contact and the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of pots
and pans to the sizes of the elements will also improve efficiency.
Use the Proper Type of Pan. This appliance has two kinds of heating
elements, radiant and induction. While you can use most types of
conventional cookware on the radiant elements, you can only use steel, cast
iron, and some kinds of stainless steel cookware on the induction elements.
Utensil 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
utensil, the handle of the 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 utensils are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Never Leave Surface Elements Set to High Heat Unattended. Boilovers
cause smoke. Greasy spillovers may ignite. 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
cooktopwill retain heat after the heating elements have been turned off.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware. If the cooktop
operates without a cookware, the cooktop glass will become hot.
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.
