WARNING

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed Anti-Tip device. AFTER THE RANGE HAS BEEN INSTALLED, CONFIRM THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE IS

PROPERLY ENGAGED. Refer to the installation manual for instructions.

If the Anti-Tip device is not installed, a child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify that the Anti-Tip device has been properly installed and engaged at the rear right (or rear left) of the range bottom.
If you move the range and then move it back into place, ensure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged at the right or left rear of the range bottom.
Do not operate the range without the Anti-Tip device in place and engaged.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

Do not step, lean, or sit on the doors of the range. You can cause the range to tip, resulting in burns or serious injuries.

Confirm that the Anti-Tip device is installed properly. Then, to verify that the Anti-Tip device is engaged, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward. The Anti-Tip device should prevent the range from tilting forward more than a few inches.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit, or lean on the open door. Never completely remove the leveling legs. If you remove the leveling legs, the range will not be secured to the Anti-Tip device properly.

When using electrical appliances, you should follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

FOR YOUR SAFETY

CAUTION

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, the oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, and crevices around the oven door.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
User servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Always disconnect the power to the appliance before servicing by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
Do not enter the oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the range or on the back guard of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not leave children alone. Never leave children alone or unattended in an area where this appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn off the oven to avoid spreading the flames. Smother the fire or flames by closing the door or use a dry chemical, baking soda, or foam-type extinguisher.
Avoid scratching or striking the glass doors, the cooktop, or the control panel. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire, or cuts may occur.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-cleaning, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. The introduction of fresh air at self-cleaning temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe burns.
If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven again. Leaving the oil in place creates a risk of fire.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom with a paper towel or rag before self-cleaning. Self-cleaning the oven, when there is heavy soil on the oven bottom, requires longer cleaning cycles and produces more smoke.
Storage in or on the appliance. Do not store flammable materials in the oven or near the surface units. Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. Keep plastics, clothes, and paper away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Placing moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.
For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet cleaners to clean any part of the range.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid creating a hazard.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not lean on the range as you may turn the control knobs inattentively.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods that have excessive amounts of ice.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the range and cause the range to malfunction.
Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the cooktop operates without cookware, the control knobs will become hot.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Do not move the container and bowl in a horizontal position on the cooktop surface.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the burner will also improve efficiency.
Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage due to unintentional contact with cookware, position cookware handles so that they are turned inward and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware can be used for range-top service without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
Cleaning. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
Be sure you know which control knob operates each surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

Important safety instructions

Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium-high heat settings.
Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage it.
Do not use decorative surface element covers – If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Proper Installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
The appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Repairs carried out by unqualified individuals may cause injury or a serious malfunction. If your appliance is in need of repair, contact a Samsung-authorized service center. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage and void the warranty.
Flush-mounted appliances may be operated only after they have been installed in cabinets and workplaces that conform to the relevant standards. This ensures that the appliances are installed in compliance with the appropriate safety standards.

Troubleshooting

Samsung works hard to ensure that you don’t have problems with your new electric range. If you run into unexpected trouble, look first 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).

Installation

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The range is not level.	The appliance has been installed improperly.	Place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust the leveling legs at the base of the range until the oven rack is level. Insure the floor is level and strong and stable enough to adequately support the range.
	The floor is sagging or sloping.	Contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
	The kitchen cabinets are not properly aligned and make the range appear to be not level.	Insure the cabinets are square and provide sufficient room for installation.
The appliance must be accessed for servicing and cannot be moved easily.	The kitchen cabinets are not square and too close to the appliance.	Contact a builder or installer to make the appliance accessible.
	Carpet is interfering with movement of the range.	Provide sufficient space so the range can be lifted over the carpet.

CONTROL DISPLAY

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The display goes blank.	A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
The display flashes.	There was a power failure.	Reset the clock.

	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 that are flat 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 surface units will not turn on.	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 57.
Areas of discoloration on the cooktop.	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.

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
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. Use the range as usual.
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 (e.g., 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.

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
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 57.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen.	Mineral deposits from water and food have been left on the surface of the cooktop.	Remove using a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning cream. Use cookware with clean, dry bottoms. Clean the cooktop with a ceramic cleaning agent regularly every week.
“Cracking” or “popping” sound.	This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and self-cleaning functions.	This is normal operation, and not a system failure. Use the range as usual.

Problem	Possible cause	Solution
The oven smokes excessively during broiling.	The oven controls have not been set properly.	Refer to the section on using the broiler starting on page 40.
	The meat has been placed too close to the element.	Reposition the rack to provide proper clearance between the meat and the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.
