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™, which Samsung innovated 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.
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 turned ON or OFF, the
cooktop surface remains cooler than Radiant ceramic style cooktops. Virtually no wasted heat is
produced since the heat begins with the presence of 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 the pan is magnetic and
eliminates any accidental “turn-ONs” ; such as setting down cooking utensils like spatulas or
spoons.
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 will be just as
responsive when reducing to a simmer.
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.
