Troubleshooting
Samsung works hard to ensure that you don’t have problems with your new
cooktop. If you run into unexpected trouble, look rst for a solution in the tables
below. If you’re still having trouble after trying the suggested solution, call
Samsung at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864).
Problem Possible cause Solution
The surface
units will not
maintain a
rolling boil or
will not cook
fast enough.
You may be using
inappropriate cookware.
Use pans which are at and
match the diameter of the
surface unit selected.
In some areas, the power
(voltage) may be low.
Cover the pan with a lid until
the desired heat is obtained.
The surface
units will not
turn on.
A fuse in your home may be
blown or a circuit breaker
may have tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker.
The cooktop controls are set
improperly.
Check if the correct control is
set for the surface unit you
are using.
Areas of
discoloration on
the cooktop.
Food spillover was not
cleaned.
Refer to the section on the
care and cleaning of the glass
cooktop on page 18.
The surface is hot and the
model features a light-colored
cooktop.
This is normal. The surface
may appear discolored when
it is hot. This is temporary and
will disappear as the glass
cools.
The surface
unit frequently
cycles on and
off.
The element will cycle on and
off to maintain the power
setting.
This is normal operation, and
not a system failure. Cycling
at the high power setting is
normal and can occur if the
cookware is too small for the
cooktop element or if the
cookware bottom is not at.
Use the cooktop as usual.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The surface unit
stops glowing
when changed
to a lower
setting.
This is normal. The unit is still on and hot.
Scratches or
abrasions on
the cooktop
surface.
The cooktop is being cleaned
improperly.
Scratches are not removable.
Tiny scratches will become
less visible in time as a result
of cleaning. Use ceramic glass
top cleaning cream. Do not
use chemical or corrosive
agents. These agents may
damage the surface of the
product.
Cookware with rough bottoms
was used on the cooktop or
there were coarse particles
(eg. salt or sand) present
between the cookware and
the surface of the cooktop.
To avoid scratches, follow
the recommended cleaning
procedures. Make sure
cookware bottoms are clean
before use, and use cookware
with smooth bottoms.
Cookware has been slid across
the cooktop surface.
Brown streaks
or specks.
Boilovers have been cooked
onto the surface.
• Wait until the surface
cools down. Then, use a
single-edge razor-blade
scraper at approximately
a 45° angle against the
glass surface to remove
the soil.
• See the section on the
care and cleaning of the
glass cooktop on page 18.
