What’s included with your oven

This oven ships with different kinds of accessories that help you cook what you want.

Accessories for oven

Wire racks

Use these racks in the oven when baking and broiling.

Accessories for microwave

Roller ring

Put in the center of the base. It supports the turntable.

Turntable

Put on the roller ring with the center fitting of the coupler. It serves as a cooking base.

Rack

Use this rack as appropriate to cook two dishes simultaneously. You can put a smaller dish on the turntable, and the other dish on the rack. You can also use this rack with the Broil function.

NOTE

Do not use wire racks with Microwave mode except where specifically noted in this manual.

NOTE

• Do not use the turntable without the roller ring.

• If you need an accessory marked with a *, you can buy it from the Samsung Contact Center (1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864)).

Before you begin

Before using the top and bottom ovens for the first time, remove all the accessories, and then clean the ovens thoroughly. Then, set the lower oven to Bake, and run it at 400 °F for 1 hour. Next, set the microwave (top) oven to Broil for 1 hour. There will be a distinctive odor. This is normal.

Ensure your kitchen is well ventilated during this conditioning period.

Energy saving tips

• During cooking, the oven door should remain closed except when you turn food over. Do not open the door frequently during cooking to maintain the oven temperature and to save energy.

• If cooking time is more than 30 minutes, you can switch the oven off 5-10 minutes before the end of the cooking time to save energy. The residual heat will complete the cooking process.

• To save energy and reduce the time needed for re-heating the oven, plan oven use to avoid turning the oven off between cooking one item and the next.

• Whenever possible, cook more than one item at a time.

Turntable (For microwave oven)

Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely.

Notes on Sensor Cooking

The Auto Sensor cooks your food automatically by detecting the amount of gases generated from the food while it is cooking.

• When food is cooked, many kinds of gases are generated. The Auto Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these gases, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.

• When a container is covered with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the gases generated after the container has been saturated with steam.

NOTE

If using cling film or plastic wrap, leave a small opening (vent) near the edge of the dish for ventilation or pierce the plastic with a knife or fork in several places.

• Shortly before cooking ends, the microwave will begin to count down the remaining cooking time. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is necessary.

• Before you begin Auto Sensor cooking, you can season food with herbs, spices, or browning sauces. A word of caution though: Salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added after cooking.

Utensils & covers

• To obtain good cooking results with the Auto Sensor function, follow the directions in the tables in this manual for selecting appropriate containers and covers.

• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.

• Always cover your microwave safe dish or container with its matching lid. If the dish or container does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap.

• Fill containers at least half full.

• Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display.

CAUTION

• After installing the oven and plugging it into an electrical outlet, do not unplug the power cord for 24 hours. The gas sensor needs time to stabilize in order to cook satisfactorily.

• It is not advisable to use the Auto Sensor cooking feature continuously. i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.

• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately.

• To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto Sensor cooking function when the room ambient temperature is above 90 °F or below 45 °F.

• Do not use a volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from this detergent may affect the sensor.

• Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.

• Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth. This oven is designed for household use only.

For light cleaning, the Steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavier duty cleaning, use the self-cleaning function.

1. Remove all accessories from the oven.

2. Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door. Use tap water only, not distilled water.

3. Press Steam Clean.

4. Press START/SET. When the operation is complete, the display will blink and a beep will sound.

5. Press OVEN OFF.

6. Clean the oven’s interior. There will be a significant amount of water remaining on the bottom of the oven after a steam-cleaning cycle. Remove the residual water with a sponge or soft dry cloth.

When steam-cleaning, use exactly 10 oz. of water since this produces the best results.

NOTE

If you press Steam Clean when the oven temperature is above 100 °F, Hot will appear in the display. Because these functions produce the best results when started while the oven is cool, we recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot disappears from the display.

After a steam-cleaning cycle

• Take care when opening the door after a steam-cleaning procedure has ended. The water on the bottom is hot.

• Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven clean and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal.

• Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.

• If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has cooled.

• For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning function.

• After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15° angle to allow the interior enamel surface to dry thoroughly.

Care and cleaning of the oven

Cleaning painted parts and decorative trim

• For general cleaning, use a cloth with hot, soapy water.

• For more difficult residue and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the area and leave for 30 to 60 minutes. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any oven surface. They can be scratched.

Cleaning stainless steel surfaces

1. Shake a bottle of stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish well.

2. Place a small amount of stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or damp paper towel.

3. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.

4. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.

5. Repeat as necessary.

NOTE

• Do not use a steel-wool pad. It will scratch the surface.

• If a mineral oil-based stainless steel appliance cleaner has been used before to clean the appliance, wash the surface with dishwashing liquid and water prior to using the stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish.

Oven racks

If the racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-cleaning cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of oil. This will help the racks glide more easily on their tracks.

NOTE

• Do not clean in a dishwasher.

• If the rack becomes hard to remove or replace, lightly wipe the oven rack guides with cooking oil. Do not wipe cooking oil on the slides.

• If the rack becomes difficult to slide, the rack may need to be lubricated using a graphite lubricant.

• To order graphite lubricant., call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864) or visit our homepage (samsung/us/support, samsung/ca/support, or samsung/ca_fr/support) and search for part number DG81-01629A.

• If you want to buy it directly, go to samsungparts.

Oven door

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove this gasket.

Removing the oven door (Lower oven only)

CAUTION

• The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door.

• Do not lift the door by the handle. Use two hands to remove an oven door.

WARNING

You can’t remove the upper oven door for safety reasons.

A. Oven door hinge lock in locked position

B. Oven door hinge lock in unlocked position

1. Prior to removing the oven door, prepare a surface where you will place it. This surface should be flat and covered with a soft blanket. You can also use the corner posts from your packaging material.

2. Open the oven door.

3. Locate the oven door hinge locks in both corners of the oven door, and then rotate the hinge locks toward the oven door to the unlocked position. If the door hinge lock is not rotated fully (see illustration B on the left for an example of full rotation), you will not be able to remove the door properly.

4. Partially close the door to engage the door latch locks.

5. Using two hands, grasp the edges of the oven door. Lift and pull the oven door toward you and remove. You may need to gently shift the door from side to side as you pull.

6. Set the oven door aside on the prepared covered work surface with the oven door resting on its handle.

Replacing the oven door (Lower oven only)

CAUTION

The door is very heavy. You may need help lifting the door high enough to slide it into the hinge slots. Do not lift the door by the handle.

WARNING

You can’t replace the upper oven door for safety reasons.

1. Using two hands, grasp the side edges of the door at the midpoint. Face the oven cavity.

2. Locate the slots on each side of the oven cavity for the door hinge locks.

3. Hold the door at a 45° angle, and then align the door hinges with the slots in the lower front of the oven cavity. Slowly insert the door, making sure you maintain the 45° angle. You will know the door is engaged in the slot when you feel a slight drop.

4. Lower the oven door to the fully open position. If the oven door does not open to a full 90°, repeat steps 1 through 3.

5. Locate the oven door hinge locks in the corners of the oven door, and then rotate the hinge locks toward the oven cavity to the locked position. See Step 3 (illustration A) in the “Removing the oven door” section for the proper locked position.

6. Close the oven door.

7. When the hinges are properly installed and the door is closed, there should be an even gap between the door and the control panel. If one side of the oven door is hanging lower than the other, the hinge on that side is not properly installed.

Changing the oven light (Lower oven only)

The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance halogen bulb. It comes on when the oven door is open. When the oven door is closed, touch to turn the light on or off. It will not work during a self-cleaning.

CAUTION

Before changing the oven light, make sure to wear gloves to protect your hands.

1. To change the halogen bulb, you must tilt the broil heater down. To do this, turn the circular nut on the support counterclockwise while holding the broil heater. The broil heater should loosen and tilt down.

CAUTION

The broil heater is not a removable part. Do not force the broil heater down. Do not let it drop down.

2. While holding the glass cover with one hand, insert a flat-sharp tool such as a table knife between the glass and the frame to remove the glass cover.

3. Turn the bulb cap counterclockwise to remove.

NOTE

If necessary, remove the metal rings and clean the bulb cap.

4. Replace the bulb.

5. Place the bulb cap and glass cover back into their position.

6. Return the broil heater back by following step 1 in reverse order.

CAUTION

Before changing your oven light, disconnect the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Make sure the oven and the halogen bulb are cool.
