Surface cooking

WARNING

BEFORE USING THE SURFACE BURNERS, make sure to follow all the safety warnings and precautions listed on page 6. 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 left rear 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 use an open-port design which provides 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 times. 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 maximium 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 burners spread out the heat with a larger circle of flames. This provides better heat distribution for larger cookware (12”/30.5 cm) or larger pots and pans.

BURNER POSITION --- FUNCTION --- TYPE OF FOOD

RIGHT FRONT (RF) --- Quick heating --- Boiling Food

RIGHT REAR (RR) --- Low simmering --- Chocolate, Casseroles, Sauces

CENTER --- Griddle Cooking --- Pancakes, Hamburgers, Fried Eggs, Hot Sandwiches

LEFT FRONT (LF) --- Quick heating --- Boiling Food

LEFT REAR (LR) --- General heating/ Low simmering --- General Food /Tomato Sauce*, Casseroles

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 (if equipped). The oval burner 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 times. Using the proper pans will reduce cooking times 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. It is likely that the pan or pot will tip over. We strongly recommend you place small-sized pots or pans on the rear of either side grate.

Center burner grate

Samsung gas ranges come with a center burner grate. This grate fits over the center oval burner. The center burner grate should not be placed over any other burners and no other center stovetop grates should be used with this range.

Using the griddle

The non-fixed coated griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes, or other food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.

How to Place the Griddle: The griddle can only be used with the center burner. The griddle must be properly placed on the center grate as shown in the figure below.

WARNING DO NOT remove the center grate when using the griddle.

How to cook: Preheat the griddle according to the guide below, and then adjust for the cooking conditions.

CAUTION

• DO NOT remove the griddle until the cooktop grates, surfaces, and griddle are completely cooled.
• The griddle on the cooktop may become very hot when you use the cooktop, oven, or broil systems. Always use oven gloves when placing or removing the griddle.

NOTE

• Carefully put the griddle on the center grate.
• Griddle settings may need to be adjusted if the griddle is used for an extended time.
• Your griddle will discolor over time as it becomes seasoned with use.
• After use, return the griddle to storage only after it has cooled.

Important Note:

• DO NOT overheat the griddle. This can damage the non-fixed coating.
• DO NOT use metal utensils that can damage the griddle surface. Do not use the griddle as a cutting board.
• DO NOT place or store items on the griddle.
• DO NOT turn the griddle over and use the underside for cooking. Use the top side of the griddle only.
• DO NOT use the griddle for any purpose other than cooking.
• Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods. Grease spill overs can occur.
• The griddle can become hot when surrounding burners are in use.

Convection baking and roasting

The Convection Bake function lets you program the oven to bake at any temperature between 150 °F (66 °C) and 550 °F (288 °C). The Convection Roast function lets you program the oven to roast at any temperature between 150 °F (66 °C) and 550 °F (288 °C). The convection fan in the back of the oven cavity circulates the hot air evenly throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned in less time than with regular heat

Convection baking

• Ideal for foods being cooked on multiple racks.

• Good for large quantities of baked foods.

• Provides good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake, and bread.

• Cookies have best cooking results when cooked on flat cookie sheets.

• When convection baking on a single rack, place the oven rack in position 3 or 4. When convection baking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in position 2 and 5.

NOTE The oven automatically adjusts the temperature for convection baking with the Convection Auto Conversion feature. See page 56 for details.

Convection roasting

• Good for larger tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

• Place a broil pan and grid under the meat or poultry during convection roast for best results. The pan catches grease spills and the grid prevents grease spatters.

Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will be circulated over, under, and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender interior while creating a rich, golden-brown exterior. See the Convection roasting guide on page 40 for recommended cooking times and temperatures.

How to set the oven for convection baking or roasting

To unlock just the controls, hold the door slightly open while pressing and holding the OFF/CLEAR pad for 3 seconds. The oven will beep, and Loc and the Lock icon will disappear from the display. Close the oven door, if you are holding it open.

Stainless steel surfaces

WARNING Do not use a steel-wool pad or abrasive cleaners on stainless steel surfaces. Abrasive pads and cleaners will scratch the surface and damage the surface finish.

NOTE To prevent any discolorations and/or grease stains, we recommend cleaning and removing any spills, spots, and grease from the range after each use.

1. Wipe off any spills with a damp, soft cloth.

2. Apply an approved stainless steel cleaner to a damp, clean cloth or paper towel. Clean a small area carefully following the instructions on the cleaner. Stainless steel should always be cleaned with the grain in the stainless steel, if applicable.

3. Dry and buff with a clean, dry, soft cloth.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary.

WARNING Do not spray any type of cleaner into the manifold panel holes. Within these holes are ignition switches which carry the current that lights the surface burners. Spraying into them could damage the range.

• 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 into 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 Graphite Lubrication.

To lubricate the slides

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 rack right-side-up and place in the oven. See installing the gliding rack in the Using the gliding rack section.

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

Oven racks

To keep racks shiny and looking like new, remove racks from the oven and clean by hand in hot, soapy water with a plastic or soap-filled scouring pad.

CAUTION Do not leave the oven racks in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle. The extreme heat in the self-cleaning cycle will permanently discolor the oven racks and make them difficult to slide. If racks become difficult to slide, rub the side rails with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of cooking oil. This will help the racks slide more easily in the tracks.

Oven door

WARNING Do not allow moisture to enter the door or contact the door gasket during cleaning. Moisture entering the door assembly and or getting on the door gasket will damage the gasket.

The oven door has multiple surfaces that require different cleaning techniques. The gasket on the inside surface of the oven door should never be cleaned or moved to clean other surfaces. The gasket is made of woven material which is essential for a good heat seal.

The inside door surface outside of the gasket should be cleaned by hand with hot, soapy water and a soapy plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Do not get the gasket wet or allow moisture to get inside the door assembly.

The inside door surface inside of the gasket and the inside door glass are cleaned during the oven’s self-cleaning cycle.

The outside door surface is stainless steel and should be cleaned using the instructions on page 59.

The outside glass surface can be cleaned with glass cleaner or warm, soapy water with a thorough rinse. Do not let moisture get inside of the door assembly.

Care and cleaning of the cooktop

Surface burner controls

1. Make sure all surface burner knobs are in the OFF position.

2. Pull the control knobs straight off the surface burner control valve stems.

CAUTION Do not clean the control knobs in a dishwasher. They are not dishwasher-safe.

3. Clean the control knobs in warm, soapy water. Rinse and completely dry all surfaces (including back and stem hole).

WARNING Do not use spray cleaners on the surface burner control panel. Spray entering the valve holes could contact electrical components resulting in death, personal injury, or product damage.

4. Clean stainless steel surfaces with stainless steel cleaner on a damp, soft cloth. See page 59.

5. Replace the control knobs in the OFF position by pushing them straight onto the control valve stems.

Surface burner grates and assemblies

1. Turn off all controls and make sure all parts have cooled.

2. Lift off and remove the burner grates from the cooktop. Make note of the burner sizes and locations of all the surface burners.

3. Lift off burner caps from top of the burner heads.

4. Lift the burner heads off the valve manifolds and starter electrodes.

5. Clean all removable burner parts in warm, soapy water. Do not use steelwool pads or abrasive cleaners on any burner part.

6. Rinse thoroughly and completely dry all parts before they are reassembled.

NOTE Starter electrodes are not removable and should only be wiped clean when the controls are in the OFF position.

7. Set all burner heads on top of the manifold valves in the same location you removed them from. The hole on the side of the burner heads goes over the electrodes. The burner heads are correctly installed when they are flat on the top of the manifold valves.

8. Set all burner caps on top of the burner heads. These also need to be flat on top of the burner heads to ensure proper and safe operation.

NOTE The caps on Precise simmer burner (RR) and inside Double-ring Burner (RF) can be interchangeably used.

9. Replace burner grates on top of the range cooktop.

10. Push in and turn each surface burner control knob to the LITE position, let each burner light, and then set each control knob back to a burner setting to make sure each burner operates properly.

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 350 °F.
