1_ 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 enhanced by adding a third heating element and a multi-fan system
that circulates the heat evenly in all directions. You get more ecient 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 dierent pot sizes.
- A smaller warming burner in the center of the range top.

5_ Important safety instructions
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned o.
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
dierent 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 eciency.
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 the 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.
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 o 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.

OVEN
DO NOT TOUCH THE 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 the heating elements or interior surfaces
of the oven until they have had sucient 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 windows of oven doors.
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.

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.

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.
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. Birds are 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 the parts listed in this manual in the self-clean cycle.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the partition, rack, utensils, and
food.

cleaning cycle, or they may discolor.
If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven o and disconnect the
power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
VENTILATING HOOD
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Do not let grease 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 the
surface units or areas near the units until they have had sucient time to
cool. Among these areas are the cook-top and the facing of the cook-
top.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the 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 the 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
the accessories and operate the oven at the bake setting of 400 °F for 1
hour before using. There will be a distinctive odor. This is normal. Ensure
your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.
