Oven vent/cooling vent

The oven vent is located under the oven Control panel. Proper air circulation prevents oven burner combustion problems and ensures good performance.

• Do not block the vent or its surroundings.
• Use caution when placing items near the vent. Hot steam can cause them to overheat or melt.

Cooktop

STEP 1 Put all ingredients into a cooking container (pan, pot, etc).

STEP 2 Place the container on a surface burner.

STEP 3 Ignite the surface burner.

Gas burner

Each burner has a corresponding knob that lets you to set the flame level from LO to HI. In addition, each burner knob has a Lite setting. Turning a knob to Lite ignites the corresponding burner. The burner indicators are located above each knob and show which burner the knob controls. Each burner is designed for specific cooking purposes. See the table below.

Ignition

Make sure all surface burners are properly installed. To light a burner:

1. Push in the control knob, and then turn it to the Lite position. You will hear a “clicking” sound indicating the electronic ignition system is working properly.
2. After the surface burner lights, turn the control knob to shift it out of the Lite position and turn off the electronic ignition system.
3. Turn the control knob to adjust the flame level.

Manual ignition

If there is a power failure, you can ignite the burner manually. Use caution when doing this.

1. Hold a long gas grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.
2. Push in the control knob for that burner, and then turn it to the Lite position. Turn on the grill lighter to ignite the burner.
3. After the burner is lit, turn the control knob to adjust the flame level.

Flame level

The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time.

WARNING

• Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a fire or physical injury.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the flame to make sure it stays on.
• After turning on a surface burner, make sure that the burner has ignited. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob.
• Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
• Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician. NEVER use an open flame to locate a leak.

Cookware

Requirements

• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-fitting lid.
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or pan.

Material characteristics

• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance, but is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for range top cooking or oven use.

Size limitations

CAUTION

Do not place a small pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 6 inches or less on the center grate. This cookware may tip over. Use the rear burners for this smallsized cookware.

Do not use an oversized pan. The burner flames may spread out, causing damage nearby.

* : 6 inches or less

• Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns, spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can be caused if pots or pans are bumped accidently.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for range top cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or ignite plastic items or cause build up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers. You may get severe burns if you touch the surfaces near the vent while the oven is operating.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while cooking.

Griddle

The removable coated griddle provides an extra cooking surface. This is useful especially when cooking meat, pancakes, or other foods requiring a large cooking area.

The griddle can be used only with the center burner on the center grate. Use caution when putting the griddle on the center grate.

In most cases, you should preheat the griddle before cooking. See the table below:

Gas oven

STEP 1 Put all ingredients in a heat-safe container.

STEP 2 Select a cooking mode, and then start preheating.

STEP 3 Place the container on a rack.

STEP 4 Close the door and start cooking.

NOTE

• The cooling fan automatically runs for a certain amount of time after cooking is complete.
• There can be a slight popping sound during oven cooking. This sound may occur during normal oven burner cycling, when the oven burner flame is extinguished.

Using the oven racks

The rack positions

Your oven range comes with 2 racks and 7 rack positions. The rack positions are delineated by rack guides which support the racks. Each rack guide has a stop that prevents the rack from loosening during the oven's operation. Each rack has stoppers that need to be placed correctly on the rack guides. The stoppers prevent the racks from accidently coming out of the oven completely when you pull the racks out.

CAUTION

• Do not cover an oven rack with aluminum foil. This will hamper heat circulation, resulting in poor baking.
• Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. The aluminum can melt and damage the oven.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.
• When placing an oven rack in the top-most rack position (position 7), make sure the rack is situated stably on the embossed stop.

NOTE

• The Oven Rack Settings table is for reference only.
• We recommend cooking pizza and pies using the 2nd rack position for crispy bottoms.

• Do not use steel-wool or abrasive cleansers of any kind. These can scratch or damage the surface.

Stainless steel surface

• Remove any spills, spots, and grease stains using a soft, wet cloth.
• Apply an approved stainless steel cleanser to a cloth or paper towel.
• Clean one small area at a time, rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.
• When done, dry the surface using a soft, dry cloth.
• Repeat steps 2 through 4 as many times as necessary

CAUTION

• Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleanser on stainless steel surfaces. It will scratch the surface.
• Do not spray any type of cleanser into the manifold holes. The ignition system is located in those holes and must be kept free of moisture.

Racks

To keep the racks clean, remove them from the cavity, and soak them in lukewarm soapy water. Then, scour soil off of the racks using a plastic scouring pad. If the racks do not slide in and out smoothly after you have cleaned them, rub the side rail guides with wax paper or a cloth containing a few drops of cooking oil. This will help the racks glide more easily on their tracks.

NOTE

• Do not put the racks in a dishwasher.
• If a rack does not slide in and out smoothly, apply a few drops of cooking oil to the oven rack guides.
• If a rack becomes too difficult to slide in or out, lubricate the rack with graphite lubricant.
• To purchase the graphite lubricant, contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).
• For online shopping, visit http://www.samsungparts.com/Default.aspx and search for part DG81-01629A.

CAUTION

• Do not leave the racks in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle. The extreme heat generated in this cycle can permanently peel off the rack coating and make it difficult to slide the racks on the guide rails.
• Do not spray cooking oil or lubricant directly onto the racks.

Air Fry Tray

To keep the Air Fry Tray clean, remove them from the cavity, and soak them in Lukewarm soapy water. Then, scour soil off of the Air Fry Tray using a plastic scouring pad.
