Before using the cooktop

Use quality cookware in good condition

The cookware used with the cooktop surface should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware.

A diagram shows correct vs. incorrect cookware shapes.

Also remember to

• Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking. See "Cookware for induction cooking zones" on page 26.
• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution. This provides for more even cooking results.
• The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.

? CAUTION

• The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
• DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with your hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect your hands from burns.
• DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

Operation

Cookware for induction cooking zones

The Induction element can only be turned on when cookware with a magnetic base is placed on one of the cooking zones. You can use the cookware identified as suitable below.

ℹ️ NOTE

• Cookware appropriate for induction cooking is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.
• Certain cookware can make noise when being used on induction cooking zones. These noises do not indicate that the cooktop is malfunctioning and do not affect its operation in any way.

Using the correct size cookware

A diagram compares correct and incorrect cookware placement and size.

• The Induction Cooking Zones require that you use pots and pans of a minimum size or larger at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct minimum pan size. The pan bottom must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
• The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the maximum pan size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must fully contact the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.

ℹ️ NOTE

• If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is too small, the affected Cooking Zone display will flash and the pan will not heat.
• If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the cooking zone, will be displayed. After 30 seconds, the corresponding cooking zone will turn off.

Pot and pan sizes

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

Operating noises

You may hear the following operational noises:

• Cracking noises: You may hear a cracking noise when you are using cookware made of two or more materials.
• Whistling: A whistling noise occurs when both back burners are in use. This is caused by vibrations. Whistling can vary depending on the weight or material of the cookware or the type of food you are cooking. (The noise can be reduced by using thicker cookware.)
• Humming: You may hear a low humming when you set an element to a high power setting. This sound is generated by energy transmission, and it will disappear when cooktop is turned off.
• Clicking: Electric switches are operating.
• Hissing, Buzzing: You may hear a fan noise during cooktop operation. You may continue to hear it even after the cooktop is turned off. This is normal. The fan runs to cool down the temperature inside the cooktop. It will automatically shut itself off after a short period of time. These noises are normal and do not indicate any defects.

Using suitable induction cookware

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware and the cookware is labelled as suitable by the cookware manufacturer.

A diagram shows a magnet sticking to a pan bottom.

Better pans produce better results

• You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as possible.
• When buying new pots or pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
• Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. You can scratch the ceramic cooktop permanently if you slide a pot or pan with a damaged base across the surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
• If you want to use a special type of pot or pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Energy saving tips

You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:

• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases increase power consumption.
• When possible, position lids firmly on pots and pans so that the lids cover them completely.
• Switch the cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to keep food warm.

Diagrams illustrate correct and incorrect placement of pots and pans for energy saving.

Temperature detection

If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones exceeds the safety level, then the cooking zone will automatically reduce the heat to a lower power level.

When you have finished using the cooktop, the cooling fan will continue to run until the cooktop's electronics have cooled down. The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

ℹ️ NOTE If the induction cooktop overheats because of abnormal operation, will be displayed and the induction cooktop will turn off.

Protecting the cooktop surface

Cleaning

• Clean the cooktop before using it for the first 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 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 specifically 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 a pan or wok. 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 film 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.

Using the smart connect feature

The cooktop has built in a Wi-Fi module that you can use to sync the cooktop with the SmartThings app. On the smartphone app, you can:

• monitor the operating status and the power level settings of the cooktop elements.
• check and change the timer settings.

Functions that can be operated from the SmartThings app may not work smoothly if communication conditions are poor or the product is installed in a place with a weak Wi-Fi signal.

How to connect the cooktop

Before you can use the remote features of your Samsung cooktop, you must pair it to the SmartThings app.

1. Download and open the SmartThings app on your smart device.
2. Press the POWER key to turn the cooktop on.
3. Follow the app's instructions, and then touch and hold the Smart Connect key for 3 seconds.

Maintaining your appliance

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 first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
2. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
3. Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
4. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
5. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
6. 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.

Removing metal marks and scratches

• 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.
• 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.

ℹ️ 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.
