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 re.

• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the

cooktop and cause the cooktop to malfunction.

• 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.

• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with

surface units of different size. Select pots and pans that

have at 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 efciency.

• Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk

of burns, ignition of ammable 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 rangetop service without breaking due to sudden

changes in temperature.

• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high

heat settings.

• To avoid oil spillover and re, use a minimum amount of oil

when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods

that have excessive amounts of ice.

• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the

cooktop operates without cookware, the control knobs will

become hot.

• Do not move the container and bowl in a horizontal position

on cooktop surface.

Before you start

About surface cooking

CAUTION

BEFORE COOKING

• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch re on the glass cooktop,

even when it is not being used.

• Turn the surface units on only after placing cookware on them.

• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface. They could fall and

damage it.

CAUTION

DURING COOKING

• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,

spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use.

• Make sure the correct surface unit is turned on.

• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

• Never leave surface units unattended while using a high heat setting.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on re.

• Turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

• Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and

be very difcult to remove.

CAUTION

AFTER COOKING

• Do not touch the surface units until they have cooled down.

• The surface may be still be hot and burns may occur if you touch the glass

surface before it has cooled down sufciently.

• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore

later.

• If cabinet storage is located directly above the cooking surface, make sure

that the items in it are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area

subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile

liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays.

About the radiant surface elements

The temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature rises, the radiant

element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle

on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and

consistent heat during the off cycle. For efcient cooking, turn off the element

several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

NOTE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even

at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling at

the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is not at.

CAUTION

If the cooktop is installed above an oven, do not use the cooktop while the oven’s

Self-cleaning function is on.

• Starting most foods

• Bringing water to a boil

• Quickly searing meat

• Pan boiling

MEDIUM HIGH

• Continuing a rapid boil

• Deep fat frying, pan frying, stir frying

MEDIUM

• Maintaining a slow boil

• Thickening sauces and gravies

• Steaming vegetables

MEDIUM LOW • Keeping foods cooking, poaching, stewing

LOW

• Melting chocolate or butter

• Keeping foods warm

• Simmering

NOTE

• The power settings indicated in the table above are provided only as

guidelines for your reference.

• You will need to adjust the power settings according to the cookware you are

using and the food you are cooking.

Using the proper cookware

Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such as uneven cooking or

extended cooking times. Using the proper pots and pans will reduce cooking times

and cook food more evenly.

Check for atness by rotating a ruler across

the bottom of the cookware.

CORRECT INCORRECT

Operations

Choosing the proper cookware

What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is

transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

• ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the

aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.).

If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal

marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop

cools down.

• COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks

on ceramic glass (To remove, see above.)

• STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is

durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.

• CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once

cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic

cooktops.

• ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on the base

material. Porcelain enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic

cooktops.

• GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces

because it may scratch the surface.

Protecting the cooktop

Cleaning

• Clean the cooktop before using it for the rst time.

• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking

good and can prevent damage.

• If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, immediately clean the spill from

the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using

extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean, dry towel.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a

long period of time.

• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the

cooktop.

• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specically

recommended for use on a glass-ceramic surface.

Preventing marks and scratches

• Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop.

• Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan. These

items can mark or scratch the cooktop.

• Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.

• Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.

Preventing stains

• Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A lm

will remain, which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is

heated.

• Continuously cooking on a soiled surface can result in a permanent stain.

Preventing other damage

• Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the

hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.

• Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.

• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

• Do not cook food directly on the cooktop. Always use the proper cookware.

Maintenance

Care and cleaning of the glass cooktop

Normal daily use cleaning

Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective.

By following these steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of your glass

cooktop.

1. Before using the cooktop for the rst time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop

cleaner.

• This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

• Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking

new.

2. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the

cooktop.

3. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire

cooktop surface.

4. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to

rinse.

WARNING

DAMAGE to your glass surface may occur if you use scrub pads other than those

recommended.

Removing burned-on residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.

2. Spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop

cleaner on the entire burned residue

area.

3. Using a cleaning pad for ceramic

cooktops, rub the residue area, applying

pressure as needed.

4. If any residue remains, repeat the steps

listed above as needed.

5. For additional protection, after all

residue has been removed, polish the

entire surface by applying ceramic

cooktop cleaner with a paper towel.

Removing heavy, burned-on residue

1. Allow the cooktop to cool.

2. Use a single-edge razor-blade scraper

at approximately a 45° angle against

the glass surface and scrape the soil. It

will be necessary to apply pressure to

remove the residue.

3. After scraping with the razor scraper,

spread a few drops of ceramic cooktop

cleaner on the entire burned residue

area. Use a cleaning pad to remove any

remaining residue. (Do not scrape the

seal around the edges of the cooktop.)

4. For additional protection, after all

residue has been removed, polish the

entire surface by applying ceramic

cooktop cleaner with a paper towel.

Maintenance

Removing metal marks and scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across your cooktop. It will leave marks

on the cooktop surface. You can remove these marks by applying ceramic

cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.

2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed to boil dry, the

overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop. You should remove this

discoloration immediately or it may become permanent.

WARNING

Carefully check the bottoms of pans for roughness that may scratch the cooktop.

Cleaning the cooktop seal

To clean the seal around the edges of

the glass, lay a wet cloth on it for a

few minutes, then wipe clean with a

nonabrasive cleaner.

Potential for permanent damage to the glass surface

• Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can

cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop. This is not covered under the

warranty. You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when

removing hot substances. Refer to the section below.

• When using a scraper, be sure it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do

not use a dull or nicked blade.

Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastic

1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge razor-blade scraper to move the spill

to a cool area of the cooktop. Remove the spill with paper towels.

3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has

cooled.

4. Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely

removed.

NOTE

If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, the cooktop

glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Samsung works hard to ensure that you don’t have problems with your new

cooktop. If you run into unexpected trouble, look rst 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).

Problem 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 which are at 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 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 18.

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.

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. Cycling

at the high power setting is

normal and can occur if the

cookware is too small for the

cooktop element or if the

cookware bottom is not at.

Use the cooktop as usual.

Problem Possible cause Solution

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

(eg. 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.

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 18.
