What’s included with your oven

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

Accessories for oven

Accessories for microwave

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 (1-800-726-7864).

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 Convection, and then run it at 400 °F 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.

Water reservoir

The water reservoir is used for the Steam Bake, Steam Roast, and Hybrid Clean functions and also to remove water scale that may form on the oven walls, especially after Steam Baking, Steam Roasting, and Hybrid cleaning. Fill it with water in advance of Steam cooking or descaling.

1. Locate the water reservoir. The water reservoir is on the right side of the oven, just above the oven opening. Touch Reservoir on the control panel. The oven ejects the water reservoir. Grasp the front of the reservoir, and then slide it out to remove it.

2. Open the reservoir cap, and then fill the reservoir with 22 oz. (650 ml) of drinkable water.

NOTE You can open the reservoir by removing the rubber cap or by removing the clear plastic top.

3. Replace the cap or the clear plastic top, and then slide the water reservoir back into the reservoir slot.

4. Push the reservoir in. There will be soft click when it is in place correctly. Touch Reservoir . The oven retracts the water reservoir.

5. Close the oven door.

NOTE Make sure the cap and the upper portion of the water reservoir (labeled A) are closed before using the oven.

CAUTION

The water reservoir becomes hot during the cooking. Make sure you wear oven gloves to remove or refill the water reservoir.

NOTE

• If Reservoir on the control panel is blinking, the water reservoir is not closed properly. Close the reservoir completely.
• If`Hot’ appears on the display, be careful. The oven and the water reservoir are hot.

Auto sensor cooking instructions

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 you cover a container 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 remaining cooking time will begin its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is necessary.
• Before Auto Sensor cooking, food may be seasoned 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 & cover

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

Using the oven racks

Oven rack positions

Recommended rack position for cooking

This table is for reference only

Rack and Pan placement

Centering baking pans in the oven as much as possible will produce better results. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1˝ to 1½˝ of air space around it. When baking on a single oven rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. See the figure on the left. When baking cakes and cookies on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5.

Using Multiple Oven Racks

Before using the racks

Each rack has stops that need to be placed correctly on the supports. These stops will keep the rack from coming completely out.

REMOVING THE RACKS

1. Pull the rack straight out until it stops.
2. Lift up the front of the rack, and then pull it out.

REPLACING THE RACKS

1. Place the end of the rack on the support.
2. Tilt the front end up and push the rack in.

CAUTION

• Do not cover a rack with aluminum foil or place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. This will hamper heat circulation, resulting in poor baking, and may damage the oven bottom.
• Arrange the oven racks only when the oven is cool.

Using the Gliding Rack

The fully extendable Gliding Rack makes food preparation easier, especially when you are preparing heavier dishes. The Gliding Rack has 2 glide tracks that allow you to extend the rack well out of the oven without touching the sides of the oven walls.

Installing the Gliding rack

• With the Gliding Rack in the "Closed" position and the oven off, carefully insert the Gliding Rack between the guides until the rack reaches the back.
• When using the Gliding Rack in the oven, be sure to pull on the handle of the rack only to slide it in and out. If you grasp the frame while using the rack, the entire Gliding Rack will be removed. Make sure you use oven mitts when handling the Gliding Rack during cooking

Removing the Gliding Rack

• With the Gliding Rack in the "Closed" position and the oven off and cool, grasp the rack and frame and pull both forward to remove.

CAUTION

Do not install the Gliding Rack directly above the Flat Rack and Recessed rack. You will not be able to install it properly and the rack could fall.

NOTE

You can install the Gliding Rack in any rack positions except the lowest (level 1) rack position in the oven.

Baking

The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature from 175 °F to 550 °F. Baking temperature and time will vary depending on the ingredients and the size and shape of the baking pan used. Dark or nonstick coatings may cook faster with more browning.

How to set the oven for baking

1. Touch Bake.
2. Enter the temperature you want using the number pad, eg. 3, 7, 5.
3. Touch Cook Time, and then use the number pad to set the cooking time.
4. Touch START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F.
5. If you want to cancel baking or if you have finished, touch OVEN OFF.

Place food in the oven after preheating if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is very important for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry, and breads. After the oven has reached the desired temperature, the oven will beep 6 times.

NOTE

• For performance reasons, the convection fan may turn on or off during baking.
• If you are using an oven thermometer in the oven cavity, the temperature registered by the thermometer may differ from the actual set oven temperature.

How to adjust the temperature while cooking

1. Touch Temp.. The display will show the present temperature, eg. 375 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 425 °F, using the number pad.
3. Complete the entry by touching START/SET.

Convection baking

By using Convection Bake, you will be able to cook faster. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results when you are using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven rack cooking may have slightly increased cooking times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. You can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F.

Tips for convection baking

The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will produce faster cooking times. When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 5. When baking a cake, using the bake mode (not the convection bake mode) will produce better results.

How to set the oven for convection baking

1. Touch Bake. No Preheat key is activated on the control panel. Touch No Preheat if you want to use the No Preheat feature. (Refer to the No Preheat section on page 42.)
2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number pad.
3. Touch Cook Time, and then use the number pad to set the cooking time.
4. Touch START/SET. The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F. The oven will beep 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.
5. If you want to cancel convection baking or if baking is finished, touch OVEN OFF.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

• DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

NOTE

• If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on, all heating elements will shut off automatically.
• When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down.
• For performance reasons, the convection fan may turn on or off during baking.
• If you are using an oven thermometer in the oven cavity, the temperature registered by the thermometer may differ from the actual set oven temperature.

Convection roasting

Convection roasting is good for cooking large tender cuts of meat uncovered. Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quickly for moist and tender results while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

How to set the oven for convection roasting

1. Touch Roast. No Preheat is activated on the control panel. Touch No Preheat if you want to use the No Preheat feature. (Refer to the No Preheat section on this page.)

Using the Temp Probe

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry (beef, chicken, turkey, pork, lamb, etc), measuring the internal temperature is the best way to determine if the food is properly cooked.

The Temp Probe lets you cook meat to the exact internal temperature you want, taking the guess work out of determining whether a piece of meat is done or not.

This function can be used with Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast. After the internal temperature of the food reaches 100 °F, the increasing internal temperature will be shown in the display.

How to use the Temp Probe

1. Push the tip of the temp probe into the meat as fully as possible, so that the tip is in the center of the meat.

• Insert the probe completely into the meat as shown in the illustrations. It should not touch bone, fat, or gristle.
• If you do not fully insert the probe into the meat, the Temp. Probe function will not work correctly because the probe will sense the oven temperature, not the temperature of the meat.
• For bone-in meats, insert the probe into the center of the lowest and thickest portion of the piece.
• For whole poultry (turkey, large chickens, etc.), insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, parallel to the leg

2. Insert the temp probe plug into the socket on the top side wall of the oven as far as it will go.

3. Select the desired cooking function (Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast) and temperature.

4. Touch Temp. Probe to set the desired internal temperature.

5. Set the desired internal temperature using the number pad.

6. If you want to use Cook Time, or Delay Start, set each function.

7. Touch START/SET.

8. When the desired internal temperature is reached, the function automatically stops and an alarm sounds.

CAUTION

• To protect the Temp Probe’s tip, be careful not to insert the probe so that the tip protrudes through the surface of the meat. Make sure that the tip is in or near the center of the meat.
• Do not store the probe in the oven.
• Do not leave the probe inside the oven during a self-cleaing or broiling cycle. You can permanently damage the probe and it will no longer work.
• To avoid breaking the probe’s tip, defrost your food completely.
• Do not use tongs when inserting or removing the probe. Tongs can damage the probe.
• Use the Temp Probe for Temp. Probe function cooking only. Do not use the Temp Probe for any other purpose.

NOTE

• If you remove the Temp Probe while the Temp. Probe function is operating or insert the Temp Probe while baking or cooking normally, cooking will stop after 1 minute.
• If you use the probe to cook frozen food, there are times when it cannot be detected. (The Temp. Probe icon doesn’t show in the display.)

Temp Probe table

NOTE

If you cover the meat with aluminum foil and allow it to stand for 10 minutes after cooking, the Internal temperature will rise 5-10 degrees.

Removing the Temp Probe

Remove the temp probe plug from the socket.

CAUTION

After cooking, the Temp Probe is hot enough to cause burns.

Maintaining your appliance

Self-cleaning (Lower oven only)

This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

CAUTION

• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven will become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will result in poor heat distribution, poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt and adhere to the interior surface of the oven.
• The oven door locks during self-cleaning. Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle is complete. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Before a self-cleaning cycle

• We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the selfcleaning cycle.
• Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all cookware, and any aluminum foil from the oven.
• Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1)
• The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide.
• Residue on the front frame of the oven and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, have it replaced. (Fig. 2)
• Make sure the oven light cover is in place and the oven light is off.

NOTE Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the self-clean mode.

How to run a self-cleaning cycle

• 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.
• Gliding racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. During cleaning, be careful not to allow water or cleaner to enter the slides on the sides of rack.

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 lubricate the slides of the gliding rack

1. Remove the rack from the oven. See removing the gliding rack in the Using the Gliding Rack section.
2. Fully extend the rack on a table or countertop. Newspaper may be placed underneath the rack for easy cleanup.
3. If there is debris in the slide tracks, wipe it away using a paper towel. (Any graphite lubricant wiped away must be replaced - See steps 4 through 7.

4. Shake the graphite lubricant before opening it. Starting with the left (front and back) slide mechanism of the rack, place four (4) small drops of lubricant on the two (2) bottom tracks of the slide close to the bearing carriers.

5. Repeat for the right (front and back) slide mechanism of the rack.

6. Open and close the rack several times to distribute the lubricant.

7. Replace the cap on the lubricant and shake it again. Turn the rack over and repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6.

8. Close the rack, turn the rack right-sideup, and then place in the oven. See installing the gliding rack in Using the Gliding Rack on page 39.

NOTE Do not spray the gliding rack with cooking spray or other lubricant sprays.

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.
