features of your new range

Enhanced convenience. Better cooking. Easy maintenance. Your new electric range has been designed to bring you these benefits and more.

??? The latest in heat-distribution technology

Other ranges with just one fan tend to make a swirl of heat that fails to cover the whole inside of the oven. This means uneven heat distribution and uneven cooking. Your new range has Surround Airvection???, which Samsung innovated by adding a third heating element and a multi-fan system that circulates the heat evenly in all directions. You get more efficient energy consumption and more even cooking.

??? Steam Quick cleaning

Thanks to Steam Quick???, Samsung???s unique technology for light-duty cleaning jobs, keeping your oven spick-and-span is a snap ??? no hassle, no odor, no chemicals. Steam Quick??? cleans the inside of your range with high-temperature steam in just 20 minutes.

??? Bigger is better

With a capacity of 5.9 cubic feet, your new range is equipped with more space than any of its competitors in the U.S. market. This means greater convenience for you when cooking for the holidays or when entertaining.

??? Induction Cooktop Features

Fast and Efficient - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and efficient when simmering.

A Cooler Cooktop- A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than Radiant ceramic style cooktops. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the presence of a pan.

Easy Clean-ups- The cooler cooktop surface (when compared to a Radiant cooktop) makes clean-ups easier. Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up easier.

Magnetic Detector - The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates any accidental ???turn-ONs??? ; such as setting down cooking utensils like spatulas or spoons.

Pan Size Detection - The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.

More Responsive - Induction cooktops are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.

CAUTION -The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The ceramic glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the cookware and burns may occur.
