Surface cooking
WARNING BEFORE USING THE SURFACE BURNERS, make sure to follow all the safety warnings and precautions listed on page 7. Failure to do so could result in product damage, personal injury, and/or death.
Lighting a gas surface burner
Make sure all surface burners are positioned and assembled properly
1. Push in and turn the control knob 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 adjust the power setting of the surface burner and turn off the electronic ignition system.
NOTE We highly recommend using the right front side burner for simmering tomato sauce and right rear side burner for melting chocolate.
Manually lighting a gas surface burner
If a power failure occurs, the surface burners can still be lit manually.
NOTE Use extreme caution when manually lighting a surface burner.
1. Hold a long gas grill lighter to the surface burner you want to light.
2. Push in and turn the control knob for that burner to the LITE position.
3. After the burner has lit, set the control knob and the burner to the desired setting.
Flame size selection
WARNING
- Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating, but could result in a fire hazard and/or personal injury.
- The flames on the burners should always stay under the cookware. The flames should never extend beyond the bottom surface and/or up the sides of the cookware.
- Always watch the flames when adjusting the heat setting with the control knob(s). The flames should always match the size of the cookware being used.
Gas surface burners and control knobs
Your gas range cooktop has five gas burners. All sealed cooktop burners are of an open-port design to provide you easy assembly and accurate and dependable operation. The different burner sizes ensure you have the proper heat source for the desired cooking job.
The right rear side burner provides precise cooking performance for delicate foods and foods that require low heat for long cooking time. The right rear side burner lets you use the LO setting for a very low simmer setting.
The left rear side and center round burners are general purpose burners that can be used for most cooking. The HI to LO settings provide a wide range of cooking temperatures to meet your cooking needs.
The right and left front side burners provide maximum output. These burners can also be used as general-purpose burners, but they are designed to provide quick heat to large cookware. The right and left front side burner spreads out the heat with a larger circle of flames.
BURNER POSITION FUNCTION TYPE OF FOOD
NOTE
* Tomato sauce needs to be stirred during the low simmering The center oval burner can also be used for large pots and pans, but is designed to be used with the center burner grate and/or the center griddle accessory. The oval burner also spreads out the heat more evenly over the large center cooking area.
Each surface burner has a control knob with settings from HI to LO. They also have a LITE setting that is only used to light the flame. The electronic ignition system sparks when the control knob is in the LITE position. The surface burner indicator next to the control knob shows which burner the knob controls.
Cookware usage
Using the correct cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or extended cooking time. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking time and cook food more evenly. Look for the following pan characteristics:
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight-fitting lid.
• Weight of handle does not tilt pan.
• Pan is well-balanced.
• Pan size matches the amount of food being prepared and the size of the surface burner.
• Made of material that conducts heat well.
• The pot/pan diameter matches the surface burner flame diameter.
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface burner to the pan bottom.
ALUMINUM: Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and pitting.)
COPPER: Excellent heat conductor, but discolors easily.
STAINLESS STEEL: Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
CAST-IRON: A poor conductor, but retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
ENAMELWARE: Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.
GLASS: Slow heat conductor. Glass cookware is designed for two usages—top-ofrange cooking or oven use. Only use cookware where it is designated to be used.
NOTE Do not place a small pan or pot with a bottom diameter of about 6” or less on the center grate. Otherwise, it is likely that the pan or pot tips over. We highly recommend you to place such a small-sized pan or pot on the rear of both side grates
Center burner grate
Samsung gas ranges come with a center burner grate. This grate fits over the center oval burner as well as round burner. The center burner grate should not be used over any other burners and no other center stovetop grates should be used with this range.

7. Close the oven door and reconnect the electrical power to the range.
Self-cleaning oven
The self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off left over grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that can be wiped away with a damp cloth.
WARNING
Failure to follow these precautions could result in damage to the oven, fire, and/or personal injury.
• Do not leave small children unattended near the range during a self-cleaning cycle. The outside surfaces of the range can get extremely hot.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to fumes from a self-cleaning oven. Relocate birds to a well-ventilated room away from the range.
• Do not line the oven, oven racks, or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Doing so will result in poor heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. The aluminum foil will melt onto and adhere to the interior oven surfaces.
• Do not force the oven door open during the self cleaning cycle. It will damage the automatic door-locking system. The door automatically locks when the self-cleaning cycle is started and stays locked until the cycle is cancelled and the oven temperature is below 392 °F.
• Be careful opening the oven door after a self-cleaning cycle. The oven will still be VERY HOT and hot air and steam might escape when the door is opened.
Before a self-cleaning cycle
NOTE Remove the racks. Leaving the oven racks in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle will discolor the oven racks and make them difficult to slide in and out of position.
• Make sure the door lock feature is turned off and the oven is cool. If they are not, the self-cleaning cycle will not start.
WARNING Do NOT use the surface burners while the oven is operating in the self clean mode.
NOTE Before a self-cleaning, check whether the door is locked.
