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.
A cooktop with 5 burners
Four main burners with two that dial heat up to different pot sizes.

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 lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.
Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware. If the cooktop operates without a
cookware, the control knob will become hot.
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.
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 sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
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.
Utensil 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 the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned outward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
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.

6_ Important safety instructions
OVEN
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among
these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and the
oven door window.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst
and result in injury.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
Use care when opening door. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in
the oven.
Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located above the right rear surface
unit. This area could become hot during oven use. Never block this vent or place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on it.
Placement of oven racks. Always place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is
cool. If the rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let the potholder come in contact with
the hot heating element in the oven.
Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating elements.
WARMING DRAWER
DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENT OR THE INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE
DRAWER. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.
The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the warming drawer.
Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands,
face and/or eyes.
Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap
heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior
finish.
Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your drawer.
Do not warm food in the drawer for more than three hours.

Important safety instructions _7
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. The health of birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
released during an oven self-clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a
well-ventilated room.
Clean only parts listed this manual in the self-clean cycle. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broil pan, rack, utensils, and food.
No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
on the outside of the oven. Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner or the cleaner supplied with this
appliance on the glass cooktop.
Nickel oven shelves should be removed from the oven before beginning the self-cleaning cycle, or
they may discolor.
If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.
VENTILATING HOOD
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
or filter.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cook-top and facing the cook-top.
Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Clean the oven thoroughly before using for the first time. Remove accessories and operate
the oven at the bake setting at 400°F for 1 hour before using. There will be a distinctive odor; this
is normal, but ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.

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 fire on the glass cooktop, even
when it is not being used.
Turn the surface units on only after placing the 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 range when it is in use. The hot air from the vent
could melt plastics or ignite flammable items.
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 fire.
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
difficult 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 the glass surface is touched
before it has cooled down sufficiently.
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
If cabinet storage is provided directly above the cooking surface, make sure that the
items 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 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 not flat.

14_ Surface cooking
USING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended
cooking times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times and cook food more evenly.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Flat bottom and straight sides.
Tight fitting 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.
Heavy handle tilts pan.
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 (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 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 glass.

PROTECTING THE SMOOTHTOP SURFACE
Cleaning
Clean the cooktop before using it for the first 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 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 cooktop.
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically 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 film will remain, which
may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a permanent stain.
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 without the proper cookware.
